Alpine Credits' Blog

Peering over the other cubicles, Patrick could just make out the snow starting to fall through the window at the far end of the office. Breathing a heavy sigh, he lowered himself back in his chair. Cupping his head in one hand, he flipped aimlessly through the mound of paperworkf that threatened to take over his desk. ‘Four more months till spring,’ he thought.

Opening up his email, he hoped for an encouraging Facebook comment. None.

Just more spam form Expedia.ca.

With a complete lack of motivation for getting back to work, he decided to open the message.

“Weeklong excursions to Mexico for as little as $749.”

Daydreaming of lounging in the sun, Patrick wished he hadn’t maxed his credits card. He was owed a vacation week in January, but he had no money to take one. Slowly closing his eyes, he began to dream of a life a little less ordinary.

“You own a home right,” said a voice behind him.

“Yeah, “ said Patrick. “Well, the bank owns the majority.”

“But, you have being paying your mortgage payments? Right?”

“Listen Darrel, I don’t have time for this.”

Darrel continued: “Well if you own a home you can borrow against what you’ve paid into. It’s called a home equity loan. I have one with Alpine Credits.”

“A home equity loan? asked Patrick turning to face his cubicle neighbour.

“Yeah, I saw you staring at that ad and I know you mentioned your were having some trouble with your credit. If you really want to go, you can apply for a loan with Alpine Credits. They will help you finance that trip. Trust me. Just give them a call.”

With peaked interest Patrick replied: “But my credit is terrible.”

“Doesn’t matter. As long as you’ve made your mortgage payments, Alpine Credits will let you borrow against the principal you have paid off.”

“How do I apply?”

“It’s all online. Here I’ll walk you through it.”

Twenty minutes later, as the snow began to build on the nearly visible windowsill, Patrick was approved. Two weeks later, he was swimming up to a bar and ordering a Corona with lime.
