Errors Errors Galore
I have been a member with Coasthills for over 24 years and their customer service has gone downhill. The branch located on Broadway is awful. The tellers have no idea how to lower their voices when dealing with sensitive information. The line was long and almost out the door we were standing waiting for our turn to go up to the bank teller and we could hear everyone's business. My heart went out to those who were being told they were overdrawn, didn't have enough money in their accounts, etc. The bank tellers were downright rude. That’s why if I have to go into a branch, I go to the one in Orcutt located in the Walmart shopping center. Over the last year Coasthills has been making a lot of errors. I have gone to the ATM and have had times were I couldn't use my debit card not because there wasn't any money in my checking or savings account supposedly we are only allowed 6 withdrawals from the savings account. I have never heard such a thing and how would that effect my checking account. I am not the only one to have this experience; it’s happened to me, family and friends and when you ask them what's going on no one can give you an answer. I have called in advance (several times) because I am heading out of state or the country to let them know that I will be away. I get to my destination and they have put a hold on my card. I call Coasthills and again they have no idea what’s going on with my account. Everyone I talk to has a different explanation. I have already started looking for a new bank. I am tired of having to call them at least twice a month to find out what’s going on with my money.
Non Sufficient Fees
I was charged a $29 fee for non sufficient funds when I had more than enough in my account. They would not rectify the situation, unlike Chase (who I don't care for) which has given me decent customer service.
