If you refinance the Credit Union loan with your mortgage, you should still keep up the same level of repayments (rather than the required mortgage payment) to clear the loans sooner or you will end up paying interest on the CU loan over the life time of the mortgage which will cost you more in the long run and may not make sense (depending on what you are using those funds for). If CU loan was not used for the purchase/repair of your PPR you will not be entitled to interest relief for that portion of interest change. I'll defer the change of use question to someone else...
