Profits Over People

I chose NSWFCU ( now Topside) for a personal account in 2012 as a school social worker in King George County.
I again chose NSWFCU for a business account in 2017 when I opened up a private practice to provide affordable mental health care in the community.
I did this to support local businesses. However, this credit union will not protect me as a customer and part of the community.
There was a death in our family this month, and I took time off to take care of the cremation, etc. My account was low and went into the negative due to electronic charges that I was unaware of. I was charged $32 for attempted charges as low as $5, and Topside continued to allow charges even though the account was negative.
I have over $400 in NSF fees this month from unauthorized electronic debits attempted multiple times.
I have not written bad checks that have bounced or taken advantage of Topside.
Topside ( formerly NSWFCU) has denied my request to stop charges and only allow deposits. I have only been told that there is nothing that they can do while my account is in the negative.
Like most Americans, $400 is a significant amount. This situation has led to other essential bills being unpaid.
I am disappointed that a credit union in our community will hang people out to dry in a difficult time only to make profits.
I would encourage community members and small business owners to reconsider their relationship with Topside FCU since they do not adhere to the values that keep our families safe and thriving.
