Confirm Destination Of CD Interest

Just noticed the interest from my recently opened Barksdale CD is going to my savings account vs accruing in the CD (and compounding at the CD's higher rate). Bothersome when banks do this sneaky maneuver. Will be calling to correct.

So far so good otherwise.

CD Maturity Instructions Are Tedious

Posted by: |

Received notice of maturity from BFCU indicating my CD would roll at maturity. There is no way on the website to change this action, so I called to request the funds go to my savings at maturity. (My call was answered reasonably timely.) The rep informed me that I cannot request this change until the actual maturity date (or within the grace period) and that I will need to call back and speak with a rep at that time in order todo this. This is the first financial institution I have dealt with that could not accept maturity instructions within a month of the maturity date.

Worst Credit Union

It was a good credit union until it changed to Barksdale Federal. I had 2 personal loans and an auto loan all of which I paid off with no issues. Now since it is no longer Longview Consolidated, I'm not able to get any kind of loan with them. Their criteria is astronomical compared to other auto loan sources. I do not recommend using them for any kind of loan at this point. Do not waste your time.

Bad Service; Difficult To Get Your Money Out

Posted by: |

Terrible service. Terrible policies which make it difficult to access your accounts, transfer, or withdraw money. They froze my online access because I used an old (expired) ABA number for a bank when setting up an ACH connection, and threatened to keep it frozen for 6 months(!!!) for this 'fraudulent' use. Limits on ACH transfers, high wire fees, and constant delays and hoops to jump through make it difficult to get your money out when you need it.
