Nobody Accepts Responsibility
On Thursday I mistakenly made a payment to American Express from my personal account.
I was notified Friday morning and called immediately. I talked with a representative. They said that American Express had already been paid. So, I drove to the credit union and gave a check from my Business account to cover the over draft, by 10am.
I was told this would take care of it and the overdraft charge was removed. Thank you.
Then I get an e-mail saying my account was locked and we can't by groceries. I called WCU and was told to call the debt collection service, because they are the only ones that can help.
I called the debt collection at 4:00pm and they are closed, won't open until Saturday... still no groceries.
On Saturday at 7:00, I called the debt collection agency and was told they have no account of my record.
I still don't have access to my funds.
Now I am being told to call a third number (doesn't answer) to unblock my Central Willamette Credit Union Checking account.
It was not overdrawn, I submitted the funds as soon as I was notified. I discussed this with an Agent at Central Willamette and my account is STILL FUBAR.
