QUICK TIPS
Car sales can be too good to be true
On occasion a dealer might sell an auto that’s been in inventory too long at a reduced price or you might find a private seller that is just trying to sell a car that a parent drove at a really good price... but for the most part, if a deal seems like it’s one-in-a-million, it’s probably not the real thing. Call Fox’s Auto Buying Specialist, Mike Pastorelli at 920-993-3508 to investigate any vechicle, for free, to avoid a bad deal.
Paying bills with Fox’s online BillPay is safer than sending payments via your postal service mailbox For added convenience, you can schedule payments too • Once enrolled in Digital Banking, log in. • Click ‘Menu’, ‘Transactions’, and ‘BillPay’. Please contact us if you would like us to help walk you through the steps of your first payment.
Ways to help boost your credit score • Pay your bills on time and in full. • Apply for new credit sparingly. • Use less than 30% of your available credit a month (30% of $10,000 = $3,000/month). • Keep old accounts open. Depending on the accounts you close, you could unintentionally raise your credit utilization, and shorten your credit history length.
