Good Experience With This Credit Union
I've been a customer of this credit union for the last 3 years now. I use them for CD's. They got me hooked with their open CD initially, but that special CD is gone now so have regular CD's(certificates) since then. I've had nothing but excellent service both in person and by phone with this bank!
Too Much Smoking You-Know-What?
Promotion for opening account was paid. Then computer access using my unique and randomized account codes got me somebody else's account page, twice. Long, long call needed to fix security breach. Automatically enrolled me in anti-American lobbying group against any form of capitalism, not my desired activity as credit unions should not have a political nature. Credit card application accepted and then had to verify myself all over again for small $ line, then would have had to physically sign application again in branch 3 hours drive each way through kamikaze traffic for another bonus of $50. Enough is enough, departed its world of smoking haze.
Bait & Switch
Since the change from Wester to Unify this is a totally different company. They advertise awesome benefits for their members, but it is bait and switch! For example, the APR they advertise on their website is not available to anybody, due to absolutely ridiculous 'qualifications'. Even with a healthy income, perfect credit scores, very little debt, NO credit card debt, and a long time member will not "qualify" for the low rates. Their 'qualifications' make it non-existent. This is false advertising at best. On top of that, the department does not return phone calls or follow-up when they say they will. This company needs a total make-over! The only thing good about this company is the functionality of their website.
Excellent Service & Promo Rate Experience @ Western FCU
CA Auto Loan Promo: I just completed a new car loan with Western Federal Credit Union in Hawthorn, CA - 2.99% for 60 months. It's available to qualified members in CA that have a credit score of 740 or higher. No down payment required, fixed rate for term of the loan, no prepay penalty fees and calculated on simple interest. Check their site for futher details. Topping that off the customer service was Excellent!!! I worked with Santos who returned calls promptly, confirmed receipt of faxes, did everything he said he was going to do, and went beyound to expedite the process due to a surprise deadline that was a result of car dealership monkey business. I searched the web high and low but could not find a better rate for the 60 month term.
Mortgage Discount Promo: My mom's boyfriend is refinancing his home loan with Western as the have a promo for NO Closing Costs & NO Processing Fee. The 30 year fixed rate looks really good. Check site for futher details. He is working with Aaron, the branch manager, who is also very personable, informative and has the members best interest as top priority.
