It is far from the first time that an association of critical homeowners are trying to get influence in the powerful governors in the Unified Credit.

Back in 2016, tried the critical association Consum to get chosen by a number of members in the board of governors. Then went to the Unified Credit under the name of Foreningen Nykredit, and here it succeeded the critics to get elected six members into the 104-member council of representatives.

the Board of governors is the highest authority in the Unified Credit and consists of 104 members.

Members come from all over the country and chosen from among in the so-called 'valggrupper'. The four valggrupper consists of residential customers, business customers, bondholders, and employees of the group.

By-election on Tuesday evening in Jutland, were chosen representatives to the board of directors among business customers, retail customers and bondholders.

the Group of members from the Fair contribution rate asked up under valggruppen residential customers. Here asked a total of nine persons up to the four seats.

the current president of United Credit, Nina Smith, was on Tuesday evening also at the choice. She stood among business customers. Here there were only four candidates for the four seats and she was thus pre-selected.
