They Are Not Reliable
1 stars - amber - Monday, November 21, 2011 - 2:17 PM

They are constantly changing thier hours and when it affects your deposits and causes you to be overdraft they only want to do the minimum fix that they can, and you have to watch that because alot of times they will tell you they are taking care of it and never do. i am at this time looking for a different bank.

Auto Loan Insurance Nightmare
1 stars - bankguy - Friday, November 9, 2012 - 9:56 PM

I gave them a 1 star because zero stars was not an option.

This company is totally unethical and incompetent. We purchased a vehicle. They would not allow the loan until we provided insurance on the vehicle. We complied and insured the vehicle prior to purchase and provided the insurance verification. After a short time they claimed that we did not have insurance and added $1,431 to our loan balance. They also increased the loan payment amount to cover the additional insurance cost but did not draft the extra $21 per month. On the first month they sent a highly threatening letter telling us about collection agencies, credit report negative marks, and repossession OVER $21 that they didn't draft. When confronted they of course said it was my fault for not filing a new form to increase the auto draft. It took 3 months for their totally incompetent insurance verification department to fix the problem. They never found the lost document showing the insurance I purchased to buy the vehicle. They also received 4 separate faxes verifying the insurance from my agent before their bureaucracy finally credited my account.

Their employees are buried in bureaucracy and are totally unable to help you.

This is the worst Financial institute I have ever dealt with hands down. When my problem was finally fixed I got the loan from a local bank and paid this place off.

Auto Loan NIGHTMARE
1 stars - erickr613 - Tuesday, April 3, 2012 - 9:00 AM

We were approved by them through our dealer for our auto loan. We have had NOTHING but headaches. They kept telling us they didn't have our insurance on file even though we sent it to them 5 times. We received a letter saying they were going to tack on $2400 in CPI to our loan so we faxed it yet again. We find out later the CPI was tacked on without notice. When we finally were able to get to the bottom of it they tell u they had the insurance on file it just has the wrong lein holder. It would have been nice if someone called us....during the debacle they REFUSED TO CONTINUE TAKING OUR PAYMENT!!! I have never heard of a loan company refusing payment..They are rude and ill equiped to deal with customers.....Their agents are unprofessional and very rarely have the answers. I was told I was being rude for asking an agent if he would be upset if he were in my position. If you can't handle upset customers don't work for a sheisty bank....the Newest developement I mailed them a check 2 weeks ago and it has yet to come out of my account.....Need Less to say as soon as the CPI is fixed and refunded we are refinancing our loan.......I AM DONE WITH THIS PLACE!

Think Twice And Read The Link
1 stars - nunyabeezknees - Thursday, February 17, 2011 - 11:47 AM

I strongly advise anyone considering this bank to read this...
http://finance.yahoo.c...

Meritrust are masters of banking in their favor and have little to no regard for customers who live on moderate income.

if you opt for overdraft protection connected to a savings account be prepared for 42.00 overdraft charges...32.00 for the overdraft plus an additional "transfer fee" from your savings account to cover the overdraft

By the way, if you think it won't happen to you...Meritrust processes ALL deductions for the business day before they process any deposits, and have,at times, withdrawn automatic deductions at their pleasure as much as 5 days before they are due to be paid out...

yesterday my wife and I received a mortage check for a significant amount to purchase another property..Meritrust wouldn't honor it,even drawn off another bank, they told us there would be a 7 day "hold" on the entire amount. We had to go to another bank to get cashier's checks to cover the closing cost of the property we are due to close in 2 days..

needless to say, after the amount of closing, we have a separate cashiers check for the remaining balance of the mortgage and IT WILL NOT BE DEPOSITED WITH MERITRUST! We will be opening a new account with another bank with better practices...we are finished with Meritrust and will be phasing out our business with them until we are able to close our accounts completely
