Sad Story Of A Greedy Bank.
Long story short, after my dad passed away when I was 16 years old, my mother opened an account in my name at her credit union which eventually turned into Clearpath Federal Credit Union. It wasn't that much, she was a grocer for 20 years but wanted to ensure we had something building. Fast forward to 5 years, I was in college and called to see how much was in there, wasn't much, somewhere in neighborhood of $800-$1000 (my mother remembers more, but I lowballed to be safe), now after graduating, getting married, moving all over the world, have a child, now at 34 years old, I called in to see how much was now in there nearly 20 years later excited to see how much the account has grown only to find out there is about $100 in the account!!! Somewhere in this timespan the bank has added new fees like, inactivity fee, wrong address fee etc. I could not believe my ears, plus they could not provide any information regarding the account sums prior to just a few years back. THIS HAS MADE US COMPLETELY ILL, LITERALLY SICK TO OUR STOMACH. I was told over the phone a manager would call right away, it took a week and i missed the call, trying to get a hold of that manager now with no success. How does a good deed from a single struggling mother of 3 three invest into her sons with limited financial means only to be taken from the very bank she entrusted the money too. This is wrong!
Unprofessional Bank
One of the worst banks that I have ever seen. First they charged me service fees for three months in a row without telling me, and they said that it was a teller's fault who didn't tell you. I am trying to get refund on those service charges for three days, and a personal banker tried to reach their manager to discuss about my service charge, but so far there has been no response from manager. Just imagine after 3 days a manager doesn't respond to his/her banker. It's really a shame that bank's hire this kind of manager and keep them in their position. I am not recommending this bank to anyone. Customer service=0.
