      Since 02/15/23, I have been trying to get ANYONE at TFCU to call me about this ongoing issue which involves unpredictable and unacceptable navigation issues with their Home Branch web site. The crux of the issue is with accessing credit card information which I monitor daily. After logging on, I click **** Signature then I click on Credit Cards..this is when I am IMMEDIATELY logged off/kicked out of Home Branch with this message "Your Session Has Expired/Ended.Please Close The Page!" which continues the cycle of logging off and back on until I'm finally able to get to the information needed. In addition, once I actually do gain access to my credit card information and attempt to navigate back to my dashboard by using the back-arrow I see a popup message stating "We Cannot Complete That Action". Even though I have repeatedly provided my phone number and preferred contact days/times and asked to be contacted via phone, I keep getting the following inane email responses: 02/15/23-Thank you for your inquiry!To better assist with this we will need further details. Please contact ****** Services at the number below, or by utilizing our online Live Chat feature by going to *************************************************** we will be happy to help! 02/18/23 - Thank you for following up with us!

Never before has Chase ever allowed duplicate charges to get past the pending stage. I even called for help while it was still pending and could not get help. I think it has all become a farse.

      I have a car loan with the credit union. They tacked CPI Insurance ca. $800 onto my loan The contractor they hired to verify insurance is too lazy to actually contact my insurance company by phone or email. I have had loans with TFCU for the last four years. I have had the same insurance company the last four years. This is the 3rd or 4th time this occured. The last time the credit union apologized and promised to get their contractor under control. The Last time this happened my credit score dropped almost 100 points due to the precieved increase in debt on the loan.

      The business should hold their name in higher esteam. Allowing a third party contractor to abuse their customers in a way that directly affects credit scores and credit worthyness is inexcusable. This 2nd time the apologies were quicker to be issued. I can only hope they don't ring empty as they did 6 month ago.

      I divorced my husband in 2018. He died 2/25/22. He left no will. His accounts/debts defaulted to our minor son (his only living heir). But bc our son is a minor & I'm the legal guardian, I filed a probate to take charge of my ex's estate. He banked at TCFU (& had 3 TCFU loans.) I was assigned a case manager, *************************. Normally, the estate admin (me) has access to estate bank funds, but because of the debt, TCFU took control of the funds in the ******************* them to satisfy 1 of the2 CC loans. They repo'ed the car to satisfy the car loan. The other CC balance was left to me because I co-signed the loan in 2015 (while we were still married.) My ex took care of this account up until his death. I never had access to the card, spending & never received statements. I asked TCFU to please write off the balance ($1,921.85) but they refused. I asked them to please write off the late fee's that incurred as a result of the card sitting in limbo after his death, but they refused. The card began negatively impacting my credit. They offered to settle the balance if I made a payment in full & I agreed. On 8/12/222, I walked into a ************************* and paid the FULL SETTLED AMOUNT of $1601.85. ***** said they would write off the remaining amount ($320) and close the account. I did receive a settlement letter 8/18/22. But in Oct I began receiving credit bureau notices and loan statements stating the account was still open w/ a past due balance of $320. ***** said he "made a mail codes error on his end and would fix it." He said the $320 balance is NOT MY RESPONSIBILITY. It's now ******* am STILL getting notices that this account is active with a past due balance of $320. My credit continues to suffer because of a "coding error" made by your employee. Every time we speak, he promises to fix his mistakes but they never get fixed. I am trying to move on with my life & purchase a home and cannot because of a mistake made by TCFU. Please fix it!

      This complaint is not against this particular branch or any other branch. Its with their insurance department concerning insurance on a vehicle I have a loan on. Letter of certificate of insurance has been provided several times. This has happened on every vehicles I have gotten a loan on. It seems they are running some type of scam to get money out of you for insurance that proof has been provided. Collection calls and only provides their first name and no employee number.

      Tinker sent a third notice by mail asking proof of insurance on water craft per contract signed, when I called to send proof tinker had already applied ****** to my loan with out my approval prior. I never received the two notices they sent by mail. I never received a call or any indication they just add funds as in debt to my loan.

      Due to the fact that my Landlord in Mustang Ok. was selling the home to where i was residing, I was forced to move. Not finding a home nor a job in Oklahoma, Mywife and I moved to Clearwater Florida. this occurred on May 1, 2022. I had 2 vehicles financed with Tinker. On July 18, 2022 I sold one of the vehicles (2017 Jeep Cherokee). The 2nnd vehicle a 2020 Nissan Pathfinder I kept. The night of July 18, my wife passed away. This is where the problem lies. When I went to register my vehicle in Florida, they told me that since my wife was on the title she would have to sign the new title. I advised them that she had passed. I was then told that I would have to notify the bank (Tinker Federal) and request that they allow me to remove my wifes name from the title. In speaking with the bank, I was told that thgey could not remove her name unless the loan was refinanced. since my credit was not up to their standards and me owing more than what the car was worth, they could not refinance the car. I went back to the Florida Tag agency, and they advised me to obtain from the bank on bank letterhead a letter stating that they wanted my wife's name to remain on the title since she was on the loan, even though she had passed away. I asked the bank for this and got a run around and some excuse of the bank not having such a form. This is not a form, but a letter just stating for Florida to keep my wife's name on the title until the loan is paid off. Now, being that I cannot receive the cooperation of the bank I am driving around with expired Oklahoma License plates on my car which is leaving me open for an expensive ticket, impounding of my car, loss of my license, possible arrest and loss of my job. IWhatgets me is that I have been dealing with Tinker for 14 years and this is how they are treating me. They are still receiving their payments every month, I have no intention of not paying on the car, I need it to get back and forth to work. Thank You, Gerald Ferra
