SESLOC Federal Credit Union

Disappointed

I have been a member of SESLOC Credit Union for almost 30 years. My credit score is just over 700 and my credit report will verify that I pay ALL my bills on time, every time.
So when I applied for a personal loan to consolidate my credit card debt that I have accrued before and during the pandemic, I thought my chances were pretty good. Currently, I pay more in credit card payments than I do for rent. I know that if I can consolidate those payments into just one, I can have a little left over every month to buy things like FOOD or perhaps handle an unexpected expense, like car repairs. If I can pay what I'm paying now, I can certainly pay a loan payment - which, according to their own loan calculator, would be 1/2 what I'm paying now.
But NO. And my car wasn't good enough for collateral. They want me to find someone with a "good" income to co-sign. WE ARE JUST COMING OUT OF A PANDEMIC. I don't know anyone with a "good" income anymore.
I am so upset. I feel like my good credit rating, flawless payment history, and 30 year membership at their institution should qualify me for CREDIT from a CREDIT UNION.
