Stay Away Until They Get Better Again
GLCU was horrible when I opened an account in the late 70's. For a looong time I sent them $1 per month just to keep the account open. Then they got better with caring about members and their needs (not just GLCU's) and I went back full time. Now with the unhelpful, unfriendly, insulting, arrogant, and downright mean people there it's time to go back to $1 per month, or quit them altogether. I traded in my truck, financed via GLCU, and asked for the form to cancel my extended warranty. It took 3 weeks, and 3 calls and 2 e-mails before I finally got someone else besides Liz to send it via e-mail, a process that should have and eventually did take less than 5 minutes. Because of their 3 week delay I lost money on the refund. No apologies or offer to make it right. Then refused to answer why I was ignored for 3 weeks though I asked Liz, her manager, and a department head (Al Robinson). One of their managers was once reprimanded and made to write a letter of apology for being abusive and personally insulting with me. A senior loan representative, Liz, called me a liar once when I said she hadn't told me something, saying she always tells everyone (pssst... she never told me). They will gouge you for fees, and will nickle and dime you to death. Just yesterday they posted all debits to my account before posting my deposit, of course causing my account to go negative and then charged $28 fees. They will not reverse the fees. I sent them, in writing TWICE, a revocation of permission to auto-debit my truck payment AFTER I traded it in saying that they specifically were NOT to do it any more, and they told me they would deduct it anyway as was their right since they had a lien on the truck. GLCU seems to do things as they feel like instead of following the law. I've seen this CU go up and down hill over the last 33 years. Stay away for now. Their VISA has a good rate, but after 33 years I'll likely be giving all but that up soon.
