Stay Away ! Far Away!

First New England Federal Credit Union (1 stars)
Had a rewards checking account that fell into disuse.

To keep it active, I would write a check for a few dollars once a year.

It had a balance of approx $350.

The other day I found out that, despite "activity" they began charging me $15 a month

for the past 2 years. My $350 turned into $50.

They basically stole my money.

When I pointed out to them that their REWARDS checking account disclosure said

"No service charges" and something to the effect that if you didn't maintain the Rewards Checking account

activity level, they would revert the account to a FREE CHECKING account, they told me "to bad"

Can you imagine having $200 stolen from you without so much as a letter, e-mail, phone call?

Nothing!

They said that they were "planning" on notifying people in this situation in the future.

Stay away !

Stay far awy!
