      Answered
      I have a court order appointing my firm guardian of a member. The member unexpectedly passed away on 3/8/2024. Summit is refusing to give me the balance of his account the date of passing. I would not have known to request this information needed to report to the court prior to his death because i didn't know he was going to die. I was his guardian until the second he passed and they are REFUSING to give me the balance on his account when i was still the guardian before his passing so i can do my court duty and finalize his accounting to the court. Summit member number *********. I am not requesting any information outside of my guardianship. I am ordered by the court to provide a final accounting and if i need to utilize an attorney to get what we need i want to get refunded the attorney fees.

      I took a car loan out and got behind two monthsvery poor communication between myself and loan officers. My car was repossessed and they are informing me that I have to pay the loan off in full. But how??? If I had the full amount of the loan then why would I be behind. Now that my car is repossessed they are rude. It seems like they are not for the customers. How can someone pay the loan off? Summit Credit Union needs to revamp their policies to help their customers. Just wanted to make sure someone knows not to use this bank and especially not for a car loan.
