      They financed my **** ******. They have had my vehicle trapped in an auto body shop for over three months. I did not have full coverage at the time. The supplemental insurance company allied solutions and gecu have been working in conjuction to deny me access to information regarding my vehicle and access to it while charging me exorbitant interest and potentially lot fees of 120+ perday. An allied rep. Admitted in a phone call 1.5 months ago that they had made an error. I just want my vehicle back. The damage was minimal. Body shop said should have been 2 weeks repairs tops.

      GECU has instituted a policy that a loan payment has to be made before noon on any given day in order for payment to be processed on the same day. Many people get paid on Friday afternoons and live paycheck to paycheck. If your payment falls due on Friday, Saturday or Sunday, and you have to wait until you get paid on Friday to make the payment, you are out of luck. Then GECU charges a late payment fee. GECU is gouging its loan customers. At the very least, GECU should make the cut off time for payment acceptance the close of business on Friday. That would give loan customers the chance to get to the bank on their lunch hour. I know its hard to believe but not everyone has a phone attached to their hand, nor does everyone do electronic banking on their phones. No wonder so many people get hacked. Also, the GECU website is not user friendly. It is very difficult to find what you are looking for on the site.

      General Electric Credit Union Response

      04/29/2024

      Hi ********, we value your feedback and would appreciate the opportunity to address any concerns. In reference to the payment cutoff time, if a member makes a payment at a branch location with a GECU team member, that payment is posted to the loan account the same day. Alternatively, if a member makes a payment through our CallConnect service, if the payment is made by 8:00pm, the payment is posted to the loan account the same day. In reference to the late fees mentioned, GECU automobile loans have a 15-day grace period. As long as a payment is made within that grace period, a late fee will not be assessed. We have reviewed your current loan and can confirm that no late charges have been assessed. If you have any further questions, please reach out to us at: ******************************** with attention to Doug so that we can assist you promptly. Thank you for providing us with the opportunity to improve your experience!
