NASTY, HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
Someone illegally used my name & personal information to apply for membership. I spoke to a person named Amanda, who was HORRIBLE, OBNOXIOUS & refused to help me in any way. She claimed that the credit union doesn't check with the credit reporting agencies when someone opens an account, making it easy for an applicant to commit fraud. Additionally, they didn't pick up their phone when I called many times, & Amanda rudely hung up on me. I told her that someone is attempting to deceive the Credit Union using my name and she was not interested!!!
STAY AWAY AT ALL COSTS. THEY CAN'T BE TRUSTED.
