    Complaint Type:
    Product Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    I am writing to file a complaint against H313235333431383530**H, ********************************************************************************** for what I feel is an inappropriate fee charged against my "free checking( share ****)" account from January 2022 through December 2022.I had $ ***** of my bi- weekly paychecks being direct deposited to my HACU account ********** Money Market (Share ****) and then $0.50 transferred from this money market account to my free checking (Share ****) account at the same time.Since I normally didn&#**;t write any checks or make changes to my accounts I seldom looked at my monthly statements when they came in. I did however look at the December statement when it came in and seen a $10 inactivity fee on the free checking( Share 002) account. The same day, I believe it was January 12, 2023, I called HACU and questioned who authorized my bi-weekly transfers from Money Market (Share ****) to Free checking ( Share 002) to end. The person I spoke to told me the authorization is still showing but my paycheck deposits started coming in form a different source in January 2022 and because of the way H32353138**3236323535H&#**;s System is set up the transfers ceased. She then asked if I wanted her to restart them. At first I said yes but then I asked if I would be refunded the $120.00 charged in error and was told that her supervisor informed her they closed their books for the year and could only go back 4 months. I told her in the case transfer all my money to my checking account and I would be writing a check for the full amount I have in their bank and close my account. She told me they need to close the account so she would send me a check which she did. The check only included $40 reimbursement of these fees. My compliant is that I feel HACU owes me an additional $80 for the fees I was charged from January through August in addition to the $40 they reimbursed for September through December. They told me nobody authorized the stoppage of the transfer but that it stopped because of the way their system is set up. This does not sound like something I have any control over or should be liable for. The person I spoke to also stated that I should have been looking at my statements monthly in order to avoid errors on my account. I believe this would be fair if something changed with their fee schedule and I missed reading it on the statement but this is not the case. This simply has to do with the programming of their system that only they have control over. The fact is they stopped my transfers without my authorization and if this hadn&#**;t happened I wouldn&#**;t have been charged these fees. This was clearly a problem on their end.I don&#**;t know who regulates Credit H343233**373033373835Hs in the state of ******** or I would have filed my compliant with them. Since I don&#**;t know who regulates ******** Credit H343233**373033373835Hs I am asking you to check into this matter and let me know what is right and proper. If my compliant needs to go elsewhere please let me know where and how to contact them. Thank you, *******************************.

    PREJUDICE, UNPROFESSIONAL, POOR CUSTOMER SERVICE. ***** the manager at oak lawn HACU gossiped to another coworker about me on the phone while I was in front of her. I have been a member for 3 years and never have I ever dealt with such unprofessional behavior in my life.

    Please remove this review-It is untrue and unmerited.  See my response below.

    On August 17, 2023, member-***************************-came to the ******** Branch to process a cash withdrawal from her savings account.  In reviewing her account to determine if she had the appropriate amount of available funds on deposit for the requested withdrawal, the branch manager noticed that the member had a recently issued share secured **** credit card with a $500 credit limit.  A secured **** must have the dollar amount of the credit limit frozen/secured in an off-setting savings account to hold as collateral for the ****.  The manager called the loan department to verify that the funds should be available for withdrawal or if this was an oversight on their part.  The branch manager was not gossiping about the member;but, merely trying to get approval for a withdrawal that would not be approved under normal circumstances.  The branch manager was told that the funds should NOT be available and that it appears that their was a system malfunction.  The funds were immediately put on hold to secured the **** as per the signed secured **** rider that the member signed at the time she applied for the secured ****.  The branch manager advised the member of the system malfunction and told the member that her withdrawal request could not be processed as requested.  The member became angry, loud and upset with the branch manager for not processing the withdrawal to which the member was not ***********.  At  no time was HACU staff prejudice,unprofessional or provided poor customer service.  The member wanted to complete an unauthorized withdrawal transaction on a secured account and HACU staff did not comply.

    If you have any questions, comments or concerns do not hesitate to contact me directly.

    PS Please remove ************************************************ email address as she is no longer employed with HACU.
