On May 1st, 2025 I get my SSI deposited into my Sharonview checking account. So when my son tried to use my card, they said my checking account was closed and that the funds was in my savings account. I had to wait a week to get my card in the mail.I get my card. Its an ATM card, so I tried to activate it, it wont let me. I tried activating it at an ATM, it wouldnt let me. So I called them and the representative was very rude to me. All I want is my card to be active so I can pay my bills. Can you please help me?Initial Complaint

Starting on March 7, 2025, someone began withdrawing thousands of dollars from our Sharonview Federal Credit Union account. We received NO notifications of any kind to alert us. Then, a loan was taken out in our name for almost $30,000 without our knowledge. Again, we were not notified by Sharonview *** about this loan. When we finally realized what was happening, we contacted Sharonview FCU, and they have been "investigating" this matter ever since. They have NEVER assured us that we would get our money back, even though it is obvious that their security measures failed and cost us around $50,000. We have been loyal customers for over 40 years, and we deserve better. Sharonview has kept us in the dark throughout this entire process, even though we have pleaded with them to keep us apprised of the progress of our complaint. We are in our 70s, we are retired, and we cannot afford to lose all of this money. I am writing to alert others to think very carefully before they entrust Sharonview Federal Credit Union with their money.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:
As far as I am concerned, this matter will not be resolved until all of our money has been refunded by Sharonview Federal Credit Union. When my husband, ******, and I receive all of our money back, and when Sharonview has closed out all of our accounts, we will consider this matter resolved, and we will close this case.Customer Answer

Better Business Bureau:
I am pleased to report that the check from Sharonview FCU successfully cleared. My husband confirmed it in person at our local People First FCU today.
Also, our credit rating has been restored, so we know now that we no longer owe Sharonview FCU almost $30,000 because of that fraudulent loan.
We did file a report with our local police some weeks ago. But in the end, the *** didn't help us. The state attorney general didn't help us. And our local police didn't help us. Only you and the Better Business Bureau helped us in this matter, and for that, we are eternally grateful.

On March 26th I made a payment to cover my truck and to avoid repossession. I was today Id have to pay an additional $118 to take the truck out of repo status because it took 5 days for a payment I made via debit card to post to the account. I am currently in a final hardship. The last year has been tough. I was in two hurricanes and was displaced for almost A year. Having to financially keep things together has been tough but I am doing the best I can. I dont want to pay additional monies because it took days for your system to post a payment. Thats unethical & the payment date should be by the date I paid not the day it posted. I did make A payment on 03/24/25 & due to some issues with my bank they had to close my ch cking account completely and reopen a new account. This caused the payment to return but I immediately went in and made the payment with a debit card the day the bank advised me everything had to be closed and reopened. I also have no online access to my account as of today.Business Response

The member can make payments via mail-in check, in-branch visit, or by calling to pay with a debit card (subject to a $20 transaction fee). An account manager will follow up with the member regarding the loans current status. Thank you.Customer Answer

2016 ****** Sentra auto loan was paid in full 09/30/24. I received the "Statement of Lein Satisfaction" dated 10/03/24. After not receiving the title, 12/12/24 I contacted Sharonview and was informed they don't have the title. Due to the dealership's error, the title was sent to another financial institution. Prior to this conversation, I was unaware of the matter. However, Sharonview, being fully aware, accepted monthly payments for 4.5 years. I'm being told "this is the dealership's fault", without a resolution of when I can expect the title. Is it legal for a financial institution to receive payments for a vehicle for which they do not hold the title? If so, it's certainly unethical. Please send my vehicle title asap!Business Response

On October 25, *********************************** the amount of $4,997.87 which would have taken my account to a balance of $5,188.91. I did several transactions that day first I paid my loan off with ************** in the amount of $1,983.34, 3 at was ******* in the amounts of $42.67, $27.84, $155.46. I also did a transaction at a restaurant ************ in the amount of $24.68. I paid my cellphone bill with T-mobile prepaid in the amount of $54.05. All those transactions came up to a total of $2,900.87 out of the $5188.91, which left $2,288.04 on the 25th of October. I received a confirmation number (***********) from ************** on the same day. I checked my account at ********************** multiple times and the transaction in question was posted, it wasnt under pending or anything. Multiple times from that day until October 29, 2024 I checked my bank account as well as did the chat on the Voya website talking to several people in particular the last person I talked to a female named ********* confirmed the transaction went through and my loan should be available by November 2, 2024. All this was said and confirmed on the 29th of October. I then proceed to look again in that day and it was showing on my account as money owed on the 29th and the bank had then charged me an NSF fee of $32.00, on a transaction that had already posted days prior as well as the credit union saying that it was an ACH withdrawal when I never used my accounting and routing number I always use my debit card when paying off a transaction like this. I also received a check from my job because I paid off the loan early and it sent the last payment taken out of my account back to me, and no company isnt sending a check in the amount of $26.85 (the amount taken out of my check for payment each week on said loan) unless an item was paid. Upon today I talked to both companies customer service representatives as well as supervisors no one is taking accountability.Business Response

I have been trying to contact Sharonview to make a payment on my car loan. If I call them I am on hold for at least 30 mins, I misplaced my member number or loan number to make a payment in which I am behind. I have also sent emails with no response. They are avoiding me so they can charge me fees and fees and repo fee previously and I paid almost $3800.00 and was never notified I was in repo status. The same thing is happening again no contact from them no statements and they will not email me at all. I have requested them send me my member number or loan number through email. They kept calling my work phone and leaving messages other people could listen too and was very rude. Requesting contact only by email with at least a statement of my loan information to make a payment.Business Response
