      Complaint Type:
      Billing Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      On 12/1/2023 I called in requesting a skip-a-pay for my auto loan through UKFCU Completed the paperwork as required by UKFCU and submitted the paperwork which according to ******** was completed at 12/1/23 11:36 AM working with "******** *******" Received a call later that day explaining that, inexplicably, I was still charged the 307 dollar car payment that we had previously signed an agreement to skip. Was told by a "*****" that "this happens sometimes, it just pulled the payment via autopay early" Fine, please refund me the 30 I paid you as I only wanted to skip the December payment. They could not refund to my bank, so they refunded to an account they created for me where the money stood. Decided the following Monday 12/4/23, I would like to go ahead and skip the January payment. Since the 30 dollars was still in UKFCU, this seemed reasonable. The representative "****" assisted me in completing this. However, in the course of talking with **** we discovered a SECOND PAYMENT had drafted from my bank account on 12/4/2023 (that same Monday) To this day, after multiple attempts of speaking to a manager, I have absolutely no idea why the second payment was drafted. At this point in time, all I know is over 650 dollars was drafted by UKFCU from my bank account within a 4 day period. Only 337 of which was authorized by me. Taking money from another without permission or proper authorization is theft. To correct this massive mistake, the only thing they have done is reversed the transactions and put the money back into the UKFCU bank account (not my bank) They then let me know it was now my responsibility to get the money back to my bank. I initiated a transfer on 12/8/23 of 300 dollars to be moved into my account on 12/11/23 Received a call confirming this on 12/11, however, inexplicably, that was cancelled 12/12. To this day, I am still waiting for the transfer with no explanation from mgmt, over 100 dollars in overdrafts, and no money to even go grocery shopping.

      BEWARE— WORST CREDIT UNION EVER— First of all, I had to go through several steps to be able to make a payment from my bank account which I have never had to do before. There was nothing simple about it. I finally had to call customer service to figure it out. Secondly, they included a stipulation in the agreement when we bought our truck that we had to have a 1000 dollar deductible on our comprehensive insurance. We didn’t realize this so we are FORCED to take a 1000 dollar deductible instead of a 1500 like we wanted. It is still full coverage insurance but, you are FORCED to take a 1000 dollar deductible. Lastly, they include a stipulation in the agreement that states if you don’t have insurance they will charge from the date you buy the vehicle. I guess this is to protect them, I understand that, but if you have any problems with the insurance they extremely over charge for the insurance and they add it to your car loan so it will accumulate interest. Example of what they are charging for car insurance. —- 4000.00 FOR THREE MONTHS —. THIS IS THIVERY!!

      At the time an agreement is signed with UKFCU, an agreement to provide insurance is also signed. This agreement states that you are to have full coverage insurance with comprehensive and collection deductible to not exceed $1,000 as well as list UKFCU as a lien holder. A copy of this document can be provided upon request. Before adding CPI (forced-placed insurance), we attempted to contact the member at the address provided to let them know that we were going to be force placing insurance if the coverage deductible was not met and if UKFCU was not added as lien holder. The letters were mailed on the following dates: 11/23/23, 12/7/23 and 12/28/23. UKFCU received the policy from the member on 1/4/24 showing a $1,500 comprehensive and collision deductible; however, this still exceeded our deductible guidelines. We then received an updated copy of your insurance with adequate policy coverage on 1/6/24. We have requested a partial refund, but the request is still in process. Since the loan has been paid off, the funds will be placed in the member’s UKFCU prime share account.
