      8/30/21 - co buyer ***** ****** paid the monthly payment in person at the drive through and was told the late mark would be deleted from our credit reports due to a processing error when he tried to make the payment over the phone prior. The lady told him to call the bank the next business day to get the mark removed. We both called and were transferred and told the mark would not be removed. Asked to speak to the director and he wouldn’t speak to me the lady told me he also would not have the mark removed because his worker says she never told ***** that they would remove the late mark on the credit report. I went back and forth about how a scient employee said it would be removed and to just call the bank the next business day and now they’re telling us no because they don’t believe their worker told us this information. This is not how a business should work. If they say they’ll do something then they should.

      I purchased a used car through a reputable local dealership. The Financing went through scient credit union. I was extremely disappointed to never receive a loan number or payment due date from the credit union. A deposit account was established in my name which I received a statement for on this statement was a $120 charge to disperse my loan funds, I called and spoke with a representative, who told me the dealership was responsible for telling me about this fee. The agent Was able to provide me with a loan number and a payment due date which was the following day. I paid the minimum loan amount due through their online Processing center. Little did I know I would be charged a $15 convenience fee. I will never recommend this institution to anyone.
