Greedy Scumbags
These greedy scumbags require a $3000 balance which pays close to 0% interest, to avoid fees. An online account like Ally pays 1%, so you would EARN $30 per year with $3000 on deposit at Ally.com. They deserve to go out of business. Who in there right minds would have an account there.
$3,000.00 Minimum Balance Required To Avoid Monthly Fees. A Big Joke.
I had a regular shares account with Houston Highway Credit Union. I previously had more than $4,267 in the deposit account until 2013 when I withdrew $4,254.72. The remaining balance was $12.78. I did not deposit any more money into the account afterwards. At the time, the minimum balance required to avoid a monthly service fee was only $5.00. After this date, I tried to change the settings I had on the online banking profile for notifications since the balance was below $100.00. I was locked out of my online banking profile and I tried calling to get assistance. The issue is that I do not recall the date I called and who I spoke with. I was instructed to use my account number as my Username and the term “Password” to enter as my password for the profile. After multiple attempts and still no access, I decided to leave the account alone. Over the years, I did not attempt to contact the credit union because I believed my balance was still $12.78. However, I was never notified of the change to all accounts with the credit union effective 2015. According to the Schedule of Fees effective January 1, 2015, all deposit accounts required a $3,000.00 balance to avoid a monthly membership fee. I was never notified via mail or email of the change. I was never able to access the monthly statements because my online banking profile problem was never resolved by customer service. I required my monthly statements to be available online only when I opened the account in 2012 because I was under the assumption that I would not have a problem with customer service in the future. Therefore, I did not receive notice when my regular shares account became negative until I went to close my account in 2016. I was told by the account representative that I was required to pay $37.96 for an account that I thought to have $12.78. Despite my refusal to pay, the representative told me the account could not be closed until I paid the negative balance. I was told that if I did not pay, the account would remain open and I would owe more money in the future. I then proceeded to pay the negative balance to prevent more monthly fees to be assessed. Please stay away from this credit union.
