      Skyla has reviewed and investigated Complaint ID ******** and respond accordingly below.

      After review of account records as well as complainants' admission of owing the debt, Skyla has found the information to be accurate as reported to the national credit bureaus. Skyla Credit Union has denied the request to forgive the amount owed.

      I went over my credit balance with Skyla, which caused my credit scores to deflate. So when I noticed I immediately paid down my card, so my scores would increase. However, Skyla has not updated balance to reflect on my credit and my scores continue to decrease due to this, which is inaccurate and a violation of the ***** I need this issue rectified before filing complaint with ****.

      Business Response

      Skyla Credit Union has reviewed complaint # ********. 

      Skyla reports loan activity monthly to national credit bureaus. Credit card balances do not report to the credit bureaus until the date noted as "Statement date" on your credit card statement which would have been 01/31/2025. Thus, the balance, along with interest due, reported accurately on 02/01/2025 was $1574.46. As stated in your complaint, you made a payment on 02/11/2025. That payment along with any **************, including interest due, that would affect your credit card balance would be reported after your next "Statement date" for February activity. Your statement date for February activity was 02/28/2025. Thus, your new credit card balance of $1746.24 was reported to the national credit bureaus on March 1, 2025. At no time during these statement periods has Skyla CU reported your credit card balance as over your credit card limit.

      Skyla Credit Union considers this complaint reviewed and closed.

      I have been on disability since 9/19/2024, I initiated a claim on 10/16/2024 and my claim (disability payment insurance) was approved. At some point, the payments did not align with the due dates of my loan. I became aware of this misalignment on January 2. I immediately called Skyla Credit Union and spoke with a representative (who was rude). She was correct in advising me that it was my responsibility to stay updated on my payments, however, her delivery was unprofessional and rude. I asked her if my late payment had been reported to the credit bureau and she stated "No, not yet". because of her rudeness, I asked to speak with a supervisor and while I was on hold, I logged into my account and made a payment to bring the account current until I was able to speak with the payment insurance company. Since then, my account has been current, and the insurance has been paying accordingly. However, in late January I received a notification that Skyla reported my payment late despite what the representative advised me. This has negatively impacted my credit and financial stability. I am seeking support with getting this late payment removed.

      Skyla Credit Union has reviewed the submitted complaint. A review of account records shows that loan payments have been reported accurately to the credit bureau. We are asking Ms. ****** to please contact the Credit ******************** to discuss specific details of her account.

      I have worked with **** ***** since September 20, 2024 on getting funds from an account at ********************** that I am inheriting. I worked with other bank employees for six weeks before that and they would never get any of the funds to me. **** also has not sent any of the funds to me and I have paid a number of fees totaling about $10k.Most recently he tried to send me a payment to my bank account for which ********************** sent me a text message stating a fee of $375 was required. After three days my bank got the payment into my account but they did not accept it because it is an unacceptable risk to them. **** will not work with my bank to convince them that it is a valid and acceptable payment. Now he has not emailed my back since noon Monday.I want Skyla to start giving me my inheritance and stop charging me fees. This has been a horrible experience.

      I would like to be unblocked from doing online deposits and doing mobile deposits for cash and checks at the atm. I have rights blocked that other customers have.

      Skyla has reviewed complaint #******** concerning online banking and mobile deposit access.  After thorough review of account history, we could not find sufficient positive history of deposited checks to enable mobile deposit access at this time. Please begin to deposit checks manually to develop a positive check deposit history and we will be happy to review the request after a three-month period. Deposited checks should be comparable to checks that would be deposited through the mobile deposit service.

      I was a victim of a "phishing" scam and used my credit card from Skyla Credit Union. The phishing scam site is bookingonline.com. I did not realize this was the name of the site at the time because it showed as "Hilton Honors" and I thought I was signing up for the ******** rewards program and was part of a reservation that I had made at a ************. Once I filled out the information, I was charged $739 and the funds were took immediately. I realized what happened and called the number on the card and was told that I needed to come into the credit union, nothing I could do on the phone. This was July 11, 2024. I called the hotel and verified that the organization was not associated with Hilton and received my actual confirmation number. The bank told me the next day that the transaction had to settle before I could file a dispute. I carried the actual documentation to the credit union and filed the dispute. About a week later, I get an email from Skyla with documentation from the fraudulent company with a note saying the credit union contacted the fraudulent company and my claim was denied becuase the fraudulent company provided a receipt. I was not asked for my documentation that shows the actual confirmation number or the emails were I never verified my information. I made multiple attempts to recapture my funds and was denied by Skyla. They sided against me, the client. The document attached is not the actual receipt. I do have the actual receipt if needed.

      Hello ****************,

      We have reviewed your claim and based upon your summary, you stated that you did receive a confirmation from the hotel for the 2-night stay. The merchant indicates that the charge was for a hotel reservation, not a rewards program. Your original claim stated that the transaction was unauthorized by you but based upon your summary and the evidence provided by the merchant, the transaction was authorized by you. Therefore, the unauthorized transaction claim was denied.  We are happy to review the documents that you state are in your possession. Please visit your nearest branch to speak with a representative.

      Skyla Credit Union has examined the received complaint and after reviewing all account documentation from March 4, 2013 through February 20, 2020, including driver's license and account activity, have determined that no error has occurred. Skyla also received the complaint by regular mail and responded to the complaint by mail. We requested a Credit Dispute form be completed and returned to the credit union. However, that was before our investigation was complete. It is not necessary to complete the form unless you believe the account was fraudulently opened. 

      We would also like to offer the opportunity to make an appointment to visit a branch nearest to you to view your account records. If you would like to make an appointment, please call ************** and we can connect you with your closest branch.

      I started with Premier Credit Union with a line of credit years ago I then purchased a vehicle from a private seller through Premier CU that merged with Charlotte Metro to become Skylar CU. I had a reduction in pay and got behind on the line of credit and it charged off. I put my truck in the shop to be told that it has been repossessed due to the line of credit being charged off for $1234. The truck is worth ******. I'm trying to understand why the truck was repossessed and the line of credit was not collateralized by the vehicle that I got long after the line of credit. The other issue is I have not been mailed a notice of repossession or have I received a phone call notifying me of the action they were taking.

      Mr. Dublin,

      Skyla Credit Union fully intends to respond to your complaint. However, the depth of the complaint and escalation to our regulating authority, requires more research time than what is offered under the BBB deadline. Skyla is making every effort to meet the BBB deadline but may need more time. Thank you.
