    I have a **** credit card with UECU. The monthly payment is $25. Today, 3/2/23, I received a notification from Credit Sesame @ 10:21 am concerning a deliquent account of 30 days. I promptly called the creditor @ 10:34 am to pay the past due amount in addition to this month's upcoming payment. In total I paid $100. I then asked if the late payment remark could be rescinded because I was not aware the account was delinquent. The gentleman got defensive and mentioned I was set up for eStatements and that the notices were there. After following directions I was able to find the eStatements. However, I have a couple complaints. #1: In the past, meaning as recently as 4th quarter of last year, I have been getting phone calls from UECU when my account was a few days past due. I cherished these calls becasue it kept me aware and I always gave them permission to draw money from my external banking account to directly pay the bill, plus a few months extra. I have not received such phone calls from EUCU this year nor have I seen any communication regarding discontinuing this businesss practice.#2: There is inadequate alerting for eStatements. In order to know you have eStatements, you need to login to either the app or online. The statements are there, but you have no way of knowing unless you log on and specifically check. People can get really busy and won't neccesarily have the time to do this. EUCU has our email address and phone number. Why not text or send an email to alert us of new statements? Even better, for those of us who rely heavily upon apps, why not have the app send a pop-up notification?I'm currently setting up my own alerting by using some tools I've found on their site so this won't happen again. If they are commited to unfair business practices then I have to protect myself. However, I ask that they rescind the 30 day late payment as a show of good faith and courtesy as I have never had this problem with them before .

    Customer service has majorly declined - every time I call I get Tristan, who is so rude, sarcastic, snarky and the worst customer service agent ever. Needs to be fired bc I have had an issue with him, and then today my husband calls and gets the same "I hate my job and you are dumb" attitude with the same guy. I asked who he spoke to, Tristan. Of course, I knew exactly. They used to have wonderfully helpful customer service - people who you felt like were your friends and family but that is no more. Also their secretive agenda of adding fees and checking account minimums, without sending any paper OR email correspondence has been dishonest business practice. For instance, now when my account goes under $50, it's a $6 fee every month. This was an account my husband and I used for groceries, necessities, baby items....we always used it up and then it replenishes each paycheck. NO correspondence was made via paper or email, like other institutions have sent. Tristan with an attitude says, "no we can't waive the fees bc you missed the correspondence" I was like what correspondence, WHERE? He says "your e-statements had on it that it was going to be a new rule and we did our job alerting everyone, everyone else knows, somehow YOU missed it." Like is this guy for real. He is the most condescending, ridiculing customer service representative I have ever spoken with. I said, I don't get e-statements via mail anymore, they are online. I don't check them every month bc I have NO NEED TO. I can see my account activity and all I need to know within my account summary and read each line in there (like MOST online banking customers do?) I thought it was pretty SNEAKY to put a QUITE IMPORTANT piece of information within a statement that sits online. I have been with UECU for over 15 years now with many accounts, auto loans, personal for my wedding, checking, credit cards. It's really declining and I'm looking for a new institution for my accounts.
