Apple FCU Has To Be The Worst Credit Union Around

Last year when "big bank" bought my "little bank" and raised my safety deposit box fee from $35/yr to $85/yr along with some other unfavorable changes, I decided it was time to go the credit union route.  Good initial decision. 

I picked Apple because they had the closest local branch, and boy did that decision turn out to be a poor one on my part, should have done some research.  I have had so many issues with them (and I don't even have a loan with them - just check and savings accounts).  I could write for a couple of hours.  I highly reccomend that you research, review and talk to people about any Credit Union you may be considering.  I will be starting this research myself and as painful as switching financial institutions is considering all the direct deposits and direct debits I will have to change (again).  The 4 month of agoney associated with switching everything, is better than the eternal agony of staying with Apple.  On a positive note, their Saftey deposit box fees are reasonable for the NOVA area compared to banks anyway.
