Denied Application Based On

Posted by: |

If you're a saver with bank accounts opened in an "unspecified" amount of time elsewhere that appear as "inquiries" you might see the same denial I did based on such reasoning. Like many savers, I recently opened up a couple of new accounts in the 2-3 years before applying for membership with Northrup Grumman FCU. I pulled a copy of my report after their denial. I had ZERO adverse reportings by any institution. I was denied simply because of inquiries made at other banks (in which I actually opened accounts at). Their explanation was the "number was too high". I had like 3 other accounts opened in the past few years. This place is a joke. I was trying to open a certificate of deposit - ... here take my money and lock it up for years ... yet this is somehow shady to them? Do not waste your time or additional dings to your Chexsystems report at this institution. Look elsewhere.
They also kept my initial deposit which I had to fight to get back over the course of weeks. Stay far away from this scummy place.

Not Good For Relocation

I am a new NGC employee and have been with another Credit Union for 30 years and had a great experience. Because I moved to California from out of state, my old credit union could not write a loan for me here. I assumed the Northrop Grumman Federal Credit Union would be OK. Applied for the loan..no problem. The problem was getting them to return calls and providing information needed to complete the loan. Not until a week before the closing was I able to get calls returned from my loan officer to provide him the documents he needed. They daisy chain all their closing document requests. I spent over a week in a hotel room providing additional information. Most of the information was redundant to what I already provided. They are not staffed to do real business transactions. I was a relocation, so closing on time is a big deal. At this time it looks like we will be closing 7 days late. So, we need to provide temporary housing for my family and pets. They seem to think the closing date is a nice guideline. My relator also insists this has been the worst loan experience she has ever experienced in her 30 years in the industry. I was advised by my relocation company to go with another lender and I very truly regret not following their advise. Please do not make the same mistake I did.
