To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction and seek immediate resolution regarding the handling of the GAP insurance associated with my vehicle loan. In October, when purchasing a truck financed through America First Credit Union, I was sold GAP insurance by your loan officer. I was explicitly informed that should I pay off the vehicle early, I would be eligible to receive a prorated refund of the GAP insurance premium. However, upon selling the truck and requesting the said reimbursement, I have encountered inconsistent and misleading information from your representatives. Some have stated that the refund process would take approximately two weeks, while others have outright denied the possibility of any refund. This contradiction and apparent misinformation have caused significant inconvenience and financial discrepancy. Moreover, during my recent interaction with a new loan officer in Herriman, it was evident that there is a lack of understanding and training regarding the GAP refund policies, which further complicates and frustrates the matter. It is disheartening to learn that essential information relayed to customers is not only incorrect but varies significantly between staff members. I urge America First Credit Union to honor the initial agreement made at the point of sale by issuing the prorated GAP refund as was promised. Additionally, I strongly recommend that a thorough retraining of your personnel be implemented to ensure accurate and consistent information is provided regarding your financial products. Thank you for your attention to this urgent matter. I hope to see a commitment to not only resolve my issue but also improve your services for all customers. Sincerely, **** ******* ###-###-####Business response

I called to pay off my $11,600 loan and they only accept ach payments up to $2000 and only one per day. They do this to force people to take longer to pay off they're loans so that they can collect more interest. They should be required to accept any amount a customer wants to pay by any of there payment methods. My wife had this problem in the past.Business response

I am rejecting this response because:
***************************** made a huge effort to solve the problem and eventually got it to where I could pay the loan off. The reason I reject it is because there is still no change to your policies to let people make their desired payment amounts. It could be a simple step like making sure that when someone calls in they are able to speak to someone who can approve the payment instead of waiting on a vice president who can't be bothered to respond for days.
Sincerely,

My wife and I both have had a secured credit card with America First Credit Union for 4-5 years or ***be even longer. I just requested that those funds be released and was told there is absolutely no way for that to possibly happen without a hard check, which is very confusing for me considering how long Ive had a relationship with America First Credit Union. I need a representative to contact me regarding this secured credit card as well as my wifes. We both have credit scores between 730 and 750. We arent asking for increases on the credit lines just our funds to be un-secured. Our hard checks are precious to us due to the fact that we own a business and have to leverage our personal credit at times for credit lines to be approved for our business. Hence, there are hard checks that do not show new credit lines approved. These secured cards are the longest open credit lines that we have on our credit reports so we would rather not close them and risk them harming the length of our credit history, but unless this can be addressed, that *** be what we will do. It does not feel very professional or business like to be put into position where either we use a hard check or close the account to access the $500 per card secured. These are the lowest credit card lines that we have on our credit report by far. please contact me regarding this matter.Business response

$300,000.00 was deposited into my mother's trust account at ******************************************* on 12/26/2023. The money was from ********Direct.gov (a federal gov't website to buy and sell ******** securities). I called America First to see if the funds were available for withdrawal (via cashier's check). ****** (spelling ?) told me I could visit a branch and obtain a cashier's check for $300,000.00 today, 12/27/2023. I went into the branch on **** south, just west of **** west and was told it would be 5 business days before I could withdraw the funds (01/04/2024). I am the successor trustee for the living trust and oversee my mother's finances (she is 89 and resides in a memory care facility). First, I think 5 business days ends on the 2nd (27, 28, 29, 30 are business days while the 31st is a Sunday and the 1st is a holiday). Second, I'm not sure if the funds can be withdrawn immediately via cashier's check or if there is a waiting period. Very poor customer service and could constitute misappropriation of the funds.Business response
