Why choose Downeast Debt Protection?

My husband and I had Debt Protection on 5 loans with DECU.  When my husband went out on permanent disability, Debt Protection paid $1,500 a month for 12 months.  In all, Debt Protection covered $18,000 while my husband was disabled.  Sadly, my husband passed.  But, the Death Protection then paid off our VISA balance of $3,868. 

Without Debt Protection, we would have struggled immensely to pay our bills and would have had to sell things that we had worked so hard to acquire. 

Thank you DECU for an awesome product!
