      The nature of my dispute is I had an account with a financial institution called diversified credit Union in ******, **. Spire credit Union bought them out. My funds were transferred to Spire credit Union. I received no notice that I would be billed just for having my money in their Bank. The amount of money was roughly $25 at the transfer I believe and after looking back at my statements after months have gone by I noticed they've been taking money. When I realized what was happening I contacted a woman in ****** *********** New Branch store and requested that my money be returned and to close my account. She was very rude I wish I remembered her name but I did not think there would be an issue. She told me I had to come into the bank to fill out a form. When I asked if she could email me a form because I lived out of town she acting like that was the first time she'd ever been asked that question. She emailed me the form I printed it out and signed it. I took a screenshot of it on my phone and I emailed the sign form back to her. That has been 2 months ago and I have received no money and no acknowledgment and my account has been closed. I still get account emails sent to my email address. The commercials on TV do not match the in person customer relations. ******************** in my opinion is a big business that buys up small town businesses and charges fees to those people who never had to pay fees before. Just to have their money sit in a savings account. I will never talk highly of spire credit Union to any of my friends relatives or coworkers.

      This credit union has gone down hill since the merger. I have been getting hit with courtesy fees for no reason! Today, I got hit with four fees while I had money in my account and I got told that they could not waive those fees. I will be seeking legal action if the manager does not put those fees back. We will also be switching banks as customer service has also gone down hill. I get told over and over again "Our systems haven't changed". Your digital banking is NOT the same.. Never in the last 6 years that I have been a customer have I gotten courtesy fees for transactions that came out while I had plenty of money in my account. I have referred so many friends and family to this credit union and I will be letting every single one of them know the experience I have faced and encourage them to bank else where. This is unacceptable. I no longer trust Blaze Credit Union with my money. Once those fees are put back or if I have to seek legal action because they are not put back, I will be switching banks immediately.
