On Oct 12, 2022, I called Sharonview FCU to close my account and have the money sent to me. I live in ** and they decided to close the branch in ** in 2020, so it becomes very inconvenient for me to get access to my money. I was told they cannot close my account over the phone, and I must email the written request to ******************************* I emailed the request on Oct 12, 2022 but did not receive any response after 3 follow-up emails, not even an acknowledge that they have received the request. I called again on Oct 18, 2022 and requested to speak to a supervisor. The supervisor said she has sent a message to the relevant department, and I should receive a response within ******************************* to fax the request. I faxed it. Today is Oct 20, 2022, after 4 emails, 2 phone calls, and 1 fax, I havent received any response from them. Their lack of response is unacceptable and made me very frustrated. I WANT MY MONEY back! It is nearly $280,000.Business Response

On 10/12/22, Sharonview received a call from this member requesting that their accounts be closed. Due to the large amount of funds in the accounts, our employees initiated a member verification process; however, we were unable to successfully verify this member over the phone and advised the member to instead send a written request. We have received the written request, and as of 10/26/2022, the account has been closed and the member has been notified. Thank you.Initial Complaint

I applied for a signature checking account on 10/12/2022 in the early am of business hours and was told i would be contacted by someone within one business day now two have passed , i have not even received a confirmation email. I would like to withdraw my application and have all my information stored to be deleted since i have not been contacted by anyone and with the significant amount of pii you requested. I have already been offered a checking account at another local credit union. It seems customer friction is not your concern .Business Response

I received a letter in the mail that stated they had ran my credit report for an already established credit card of 4 years. When they did that no one had informed me on this and decreased my credit line . & now its affected my credit report. I called to get it resolved and not 1 single employee could tell me why this happened. I was told that it shouldnt have and that they dont know. I am very upset and my credit has taken a hit .Business Response

I have been trying to obtain a replacement debit card for almost a month now. My card was compromised due to a scam, and I requested a new debit card on July 20th 2022. Despite following up multiple times, speaking to supervisors and a Manager within ******************************* and *************************** each time I call, I am advised the card replacement wasn't requested and that it has now been requested and it will arrive in **** business days. In each case, the card doesn't arrive, and after contacting the Credit Union, I am advised the card was not ordered, but they will order it - and the cycle starts all over again.Business Response

I make an online mobile deposit and it cleared the account with an confirmation number. So later on that following Monday the transaction was canceled after hours. *** reached out to the branch numerous times and was promised a callback from supervisor to get the issue resolved. Out of 8 calls and being on hold for numerous hours still no callback. Due to the reversal of the deposit it made my bills go into default.Business Response

This member attempted two mobile deposits on Saturday, August 6, 2022. Upon review, a Sharonview team member noticed the mobile deposits were unauthorized transactions and subsequently reversed the funds from the account. Sharonview notified the member of the reversal on Monday, August 8, 2022, via email. A note was also made in the transaction history in Online Banking and the Mobile App.
We have since spoken with the member to explain the reversal and discuss appropriate mobile deposit procedures.Initial Complaint

I paid off an auto loan on July 11, 2022 in full. I have called their customer service line numerous times inquiring as to when I would receive the title to my vehicle. Each time I call they tell me they have no information and that a title specialist will have to call me back within 1 business day. I NEVER receive a call back. I called on July 18, 202 # 4:04pm and have yet to receive a return call. I went into the local branch at *************************************************** and was told they could not help me, that I had to call the customer service # **************. That is the same @ that says they can't help me and that a title specialist has to call me back. The branch manager said it typically takes **** business days to receive your title by mail, but can take ***** business days due to Covid (I suppose we are still milking that excuse). It is just one huge run around with Sharonview. I called back again on July 28, 2022 @ 12:32pm and was told the same thing "a title specialist will have to call you back within 1 business day". Still no return call as of writing this complaint. I need the title to my vehicle as that is holding me up from being able to sell it and purchase a new vehicle. What is the point of calling customer service if they cannot do anything or provide any service to customers? It seems quite useless to me. Someone that works at Sharonview should be able to assist customers with this and answer my question - there has to be a way to get the title to my vehicle which I have paid off in full. It's been 15 days and still zero call back and zero title. Member# ******Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: Sharonview Federal Credit Union didn't "work" with me or do anything. I eventually got my title in the mail. I got a phone call from them after 3 and a half weeks asking if they could help me once I filed a complaint with the BBB. That is not a 1 business day return call. I'd hardly call that "working with me". ********* has horrible customer service and work ethic. Just like lying on this response and saying they "worked" with me to resolve this issue.
Sincerely,
