      THE DATE OF THIS INFRACTION WAS 11/22/23. I WENT TO THE GREATLAKES CREDIT UNION IN *************, AS I DO REGULARLY TO CASH MY CHECK. I WENT THROUGH THE DRIVE THRU AND I ASKED THE TELLER, A *********** LOOKING WOMAN TO CASH MY CHECK. SHE DEPOSITED THE CHECK INTO MY ACCOUNT. I TELL HER I DID NOT WANT TO DEPOSIT IT, JUST TO CASH IT. SHE SENDS ME A TRANSACTION SLIP AND GOES TO THE ***** AWAY FROM THE DRIVE THRU WINDOW. THIS WOMAN WAS THE ONLY ONE WORKING IN THR DRIVE THRU ON 11/22/23 ALSO. I HAD TO WAIT UNTIL SATURDAY THE 11/25/23 BEFORE I COULD GET ANY MONEY OUT OF MY SAVINGS ACCOUNT. I WAS TOLD THAT A HOLD WAS PUT ON MY PAYROLE CHECK AND NONE HAS BEEN PUT ON ANY OF MY PAYROLE CHECKS SINCE I STARTED BANKING THERE BACK IN FEBRUARY 2023. NOW I CAN'T USE MY ATM CARD WITHOUT IT SAYING I DONT HAVE ANY ***** AVAILABLE. BEFORE THIS LADY DEPOSITED MY CHECK ON THE 11/22/23 I HAD NO PROBLEMS USING MY ATM CARD. I JUST LEFT THE ****** THAT IS WHY IM CONTACTING YOUR OFFICE. ALL I WANT IS MY ACCOUNT BACK THE WAY IT WAS BECAUSE I DONT KNOW WHAT THE WOMAN DID AND THE MANAGER I TALKED TO ON 11/25/23 TOLD ME THE HOLD WAS ON MY PAYROLL CHECK BUT LET ME WITHDRAW FROM MY ACCOUNT. THERE HAS NEVER BEEN A HOLD ON MY PAYROLL CHECKS BEFORE SHE DEPOSITED MY PAYROLL CHECK ON 11/22/23. I WANT TO BE ABLE TO USE MY ATM CARD THE WAY I COULD BEFORE 11/22/23 AT ANYTIME ANYWHERE WITHOUT BEING TOLD I DONT HAVE THE ***** IN MY ACCOUNT WHEN I KNOW THE ***** ARE THERE. THANK YOU

      Fraudulent group that is on the Corporate team. I got charged extra fees for (one night), at a Hotel. I was in another location! Had evidence on my receipt, account and email, and this group at great lakes would not credit? Either part of the Crooks or Uneducated laborers work their. STAY AWAY FROM this so called credit union
