Better Than The Big Banks
I opened an account at Cenla FCU because I was deeply dissatisfied with the customer service at Capital One and Chase. I had a checking account at Capital One (formerly Hibernia). When I deposited a check that was more than my usual paycheck (though not a huge sum), they held the check *AND* froze the rest of the funds in my accoung for two weeks for no explainable reason. I called customer service and also spoke with the local branch to try to resolve the issue as I needed the funds for a car purchase. I was given different reasons for the hold on my account by each person I spoke with, and none of the reasons made sense. I no longer think of banks as a safe place for my money. I closed the account and opened at Cenla FCU and have not had similar problems. If I do, I will go somewhere else.
