      On August 9th 2025 at 6:12pm I used the BECU atm in enumclaw Washington, I choose the option for $200 cash back, the atm chatged me the full $200 plus atm fees and only gave me $40 cash back after charging me the full $200. I contacted BECU and they told me theres nothing they can do for me and to contact my bank, I contacted my bank my bank said there was no error they wont investigate it. I was the $160 that I never got back from the atm and I am not the only person this happened to! Its all over the news for the same atm

      I filed a credit card dispute with BECU credit card. about ************** for a refund in the amount of $815.80 for a trip from ***** to ***** and return trip from ***** to *****. the Qatari airline canceled my trip due to war between **** and ******. The airline refunded only $ ***** and is refusing to refund the whole amount. On 8/4/2025 the BECU card holder service informed me that they are not responsible for any refund. The canceled trip and only partial refund from the airline indicate that the transaction is fraud and illegal. So the bank should be able to protect the customres from scammers and fraud and not support any criminal activities.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me.  But they did not explain or state what will happen in case Qatar airline refused to give the credit .  BECU gave me the credit I asked for but hopefully if the Qatari airline does not respond to BECU , my bank will not trick me and charge me back.

      I purchased a mercedes for my daughter **** ******, who was to make loan payments directly to BECU- I am the only one on the loan and have given BECU permission and authorization to release my loan information to my daughter and allow my daughter to make payments on the loan. BECU refuses to allow my daughter to make a payment on the car, refuses to allow me to make a payment on the car which incurs additional late fees because of their negligence. Specifically ******- ****? not sure how to spell the supervisors name, was very rude treated me like I was an imposter, identity theft person fishing for information when all I was trying to do was make a car payment ****** put us on hold for over 30 mins refused to provide the email or phone number for his manager ***** and refused to allow us to make a payment on the auto loan. I want all my late fees reimbursed as they have been refusing payments.

      I have a credit card with Boeing credit union. I heard a little over $500 on it at its current interest rate. I was offered to do balance transfers to this account at 3.99%.Ive been made a $600 payment which should have paid off the 500 at the higher interest rate, yet they are still charging me about 17% for what they promised me what is 3.99%.When I contacted their customer service to get this resolved, they lied to me and told me that lower interest payments get paid first, even though I educated them on the fact that there is a law that higher interest payments get paid first. They completely ignored me. I went to the supervisor head of the supposed customer service department, and they said the exact same thing that lower interest payments get paid first. Because their customer service department refuses to acknowledge the law, and refuses to let me communicate with anyone beyond their department I am forced to go to the Comptroller of the currency, the ***, and other regulatory agencies

      I am rejecting this response because:
      The customer service department is not properly trained. Not only are they giving the wrong information but when I go out of my way to try to contact management and can only get to a lead of customer service and let them know that they are giving wrong information they still insist, on giving wrong information that breaks the law. The fact that you will justify their actions and not hold them. Responsible shows me that you could care less about your customers. The customer service management does not deserve their jobs, and should be fired, and their employees should be trained properly .

      My BECU **** Credit Card has been revoked due to late payment. However, I have proof of payment and dispute BECU's revocation of my credit card. In February 2025, I missed a payment on my BECU Credit Card. On my statement dated 3/13/25 (A2 of the attachments) I was told I needed to make a payment of $249 by 4/8/25. I made this payment on 3/14/25 in the amount of $250 (A3 of the attachments) I paid exactly what BECU required of me per the statement and paid the balance before the due date. Per Experian (A1 of attachments), BECU closed my account in March of 2025 even though I made payment on my card per their statement. BECU decided to revoke my credit card due to late payments. Nowhere in the statement does it say my credit card is in danger of being revoked. Per the provided documents, I made the $250 minimum payment prior to the due date and my card is still revoked. BECU is escalating this issue, because their representatives admitted on the call with me, they can see the payment and 2 reps were confused as to why my card was shut off. I implore you to please help me. Per the documents attached, I have maintained my payments with BECU and no adverse effects should occur for paying my bill on time.
