I am filing this complaint against Canvas Credit Union regarding their handling of my recent vehicle repossession and subsequent communication. On May 25, 2024, my vehicle was repossessed by Canvas Credit Union due to alleged delinquency in payments. Since then, I have been attempting to seek clarification, transparency, and resolution from Canvas Credit Union regarding the repossession process, fees incurred, and communication practices.Despite multiple attempts to communicate and resolve the issues, Canvas Credit Union has failed to provide satisfactory responses or transparent explanations. The lack of transparency and timely communication has resulted in confusion and financial burden on my part.Specifically, I seek clarification on the following points:The exact repossession policies and criteria used by Canvas Credit Union, including any changes to historical payment policies.A detailed breakdown of all fees associated with the repossession of my vehicle, including the $480 repossession fee and $223 storage and redemption fees.Clarification on Canvas Credit Union's notification policies, particularly regarding the Right to Cure letters and repossession warnings.Proof and verification of Canvas Credit Union's claims of attempting to communicate and resolve customer grievances, as they have alleged in their response to regulatory bodies.Business Response

Dear ************************,
Thank you for forwarding Canvas Credit Unions response.
While I appreciate that Canvas has acknowledged my preference for email communication, their response does not fully address my primary concerns regarding the repossession fees, the lack of transparency, and inconsistent procedures.
I am not satisfied with their efforts at this time and wish to keep the complaint open until these issues are adequately resolved.
Best regards,

Complaint: 21887618
Dear ************************,
Thank you for the update. While Canvas Credit Union claims they are continuing to work with me, I want to clarify that many of my key concerns remain unresolved. Here are the main points I would like to emphasize:
Lack of Detailed Breakdown of Fees: I have repeatedly requested an itemized invoice for the $480 repossession fee, which they have failed to provide. This lack of transparency is a significant concern.
Delay in Communication: Despite reaching out on multiple occasions, Canvas Credit Union delayed providing crucial information regarding the location and retrieval of my vehicle, which led to unnecessary storage fees.
Miscommunication and False Claims: Canvas Credit Union falsely claimed they contacted me regarding the June 4th complaint. I have no missed calls or voicemails from them, and my voicemail is not full.
Failure to Provide Receipts and Adequate Documentation: I requested a receipt from the third party responsible for the repossession fee. This request has been ignored, raising questions about the legitimacy of the charges.
Inconsistent Procedures: There was no clear explanation provided for the deviation from past interactions regarding repossession procedures.
Improved Communication Practices: I requested that all important notices be emailed to me due to my frequent travel, but this has not been implemented, leading to further communication issues.
I am willing to continue discussions with Canvas Credit Union to resolve these issues, but I need concrete actions and solutions rather than generic responses.
Thank you for your assistance in this matter.
Sincerely,

Complaint: 21887618
Dear ************************,
Thank you for the opportunity to respond to Canvas Credit Union's recent message regarding my complaint.
I acknowledge that Canvas Credit Union believes they have addressed my concerns. However, I still have unresolved issues that have not been adequately addressed:
Lack of Transparency and Documentation: I requested an itemized invoice or receipt from the third-party company responsible for the repossession fee, which has not been provided. Canvas mentioned a flat fee and a fuel charge but did not provide documentation to substantiate these charges.
Communication Issues: Despite their claims, I did not receive any direct communication or attempt to resolve my complaint filed on June 4, 2024. I have checked my call logs and voicemail, and there is no record of a call from Canvas during that period. I am prepared to provide my call logs to demonstrate this.
Policy Changes and Consistency: I sought clarification on any changes in Canvas's repossession policies and the reasons behind the deviations from past interactions. This has not been addressed satisfactorily.
Email Communication: I requested that all significant notices and correspondences be sent via email due to my frequent travels. Canvas has not committed to this, which is crucial for timely and documented communication.
Additionally, the issue of the title transfer initiated on May 30, 2024, remains partially unresolved. Although ******************* provided tracking information on July 9, 2024, the delay in processing has not been adequately explained.
I appreciate Canvas Credit Union's efforts so far, but I believe these concerns need to be addressed to reach a satisfactory resolution.
Furthermore, its worth noting that *********************** sent me a separate email stating the same message verbatim, indicating a blanket refusal to address these unresolved issues.
Thank you for your assistance.
Sincerely,

Canvas has a contracted flat fee with our vendor. We have provided the following breakdown of charges to ************************ in past communications.
$450.00 flat fee
$30.00 fuel charge
$480.00 Total
Customer Answer
Date: 08/09/2024
Complaint: 21887618
The business has responded with the same information as before, once again failing to provide the itemized invoice or receipt I requested. Simply stating a contracted flat fee doesn't address my specific request for documentation. This avoidance is problematic because without proper documentation, there's no way to verify the accuracy or fairness of the charges.

Canvas has responded to ************************ with a consistent message, at this time we consider the matter resolved and closed.Customer Answer

Complaint: 21887618
Dear ************************,
Canvas Credit Union's response continues to ignore my specific request for documentation, which is not baseless but a standard expectation for transparency in financial matters. Their consistent refusal to provide an itemized invoice or any concrete documentation raises serious concerns about their commitment to transparency and accountability.
In addition to the documentation, I have also sought clarity on other matters related to this issue, which have similarly been met with avoidance. By evading these requests, Canvas seems to be deliberately avoiding transparency, which is troubling and suggests there may be more to hide. I reiterate my request for proper documentation and clear communication, as these are crucial to resolving this matter.
Sincerely,

Made a payment on my vehicle on time with a proof of payment. I also saved this information and sent it in to these criminals and they still repossessed my vehicle. I had to get my vehicle out of the tow yard which cost me a total of 3700 dollars. They lied about my payment not being on time and they lied about me not making a payment.Business Response

I have been a customer with ********************** for several years and have had direct deposit from the same reputable employer for the same amount of time. In the last 6 months, my funds have not been available to me at a consistent time. For example, it is 820 am and I can see my funds are pending and have been for several hours yet, I have no access to them. This is absolutely ridiculous. What is the hold up? They used be available by 7am and now I have noticed that is keeps getting later and later. I live pay check to pay check and rely on that money to be available to me in a timely manner. After speaking with other co-workers, this seems to only be an issue with Canvas.Business Response

To Whom It May ******** I am writing to express my concern over an unresolved issue regarding a warranty claim for a vehicle that was unfortunately involved in an accident in November 2023. Despite the total loss of the vehicle, and the insurance and gap insurance having settled their parts promptly, the warranty coverage remains unaddressed, causing significant distress and inconvenience. After purchasing the car, which was intended for my grandson, from *********************** Chevrolet South, my co-purchaser and I, both of whom are seniors, have encountered considerable difficulty in our attempts to communicate with Canvas Credit Union, the car dealer ship who works directly with the warranty company, and GWC warranty company. We have made numerous calls and sent several emails seeking assistance with the warranty claim, all of which have either gone unanswered or have not resulted in any substantive action. This situation has been ongoing since we completed all required paperwork well before Christmas of 2023. Additionally, it is pertinent to mention that the continued lack of resolution has not only been a source of undue stress but has also started to negatively impact our credit scores, as the credit union involved has begun daily harassment for a resolution. This is not only inappropriate but extremely disconcerting, given our age and the clear record of our attempts to resolve this matter amicably. We respectfully request your attention to this matter. We are eager to resolve this issue promptly and would appreciate it if you could aid us in the proper steps, we must take to address our concerns. We believe that with your intervention, we can find a satisfactory solution to this unfortunate situation.Business Response

The dealership chose this credit union for my car loan. I paid $19,376.99 by cashiers check as a first payment and it arrived to them in March, 2024 certified mail. The date it arrived was well in advance of my first payment due. I called to verify they received the check. The customer ********************** talked to the insurance department on their end and verified. They told me they would apply it as the first payment to the principle loan. Now its May and they are holding the check. There is no reason to hold the check. I called multiple times each time they say they will apply that payment. However, its May and they are still holding it. Whats worse is they reported me to the TransUnion saying Im over 30 days late. This is wrong. They need to apply the money as an on time first payment and I will continue to make monthly payments as needed. If they charged me late fees, they need to remove those and put my loan in good standing.Business Response

I posted deposits multiple times and they literally took out several hundred dollars in late charges whats clearly written that theyre supposed to do the deposits first and when I brought this up to them, they completely denied it even with my deposit receipts in hand the collection department from the bank. The supervisor wouldnt even call me back because they know theyre wrong and it was funny that even in associate lead banker, acknowledge that they were wrong And has several complaints against the company as well as a manager at a different location had complaints and written in very descriptive notes to the manager in the collections department but I paid the $104 that they wanted but it doesnt make up for all the other money that they stoleBusiness Response
