What do you do when a federal credit union gives you a forged check? It went through my account last month and returned from the bank and marked as forged. The money was taken back by the bank because I never touched it and now a month later, they have wiped my account out by trying to send a forged check back through again. Does that make any sense?

Can Navy Federal Credit Union really be this bad? Navy Fed is absolutely the worst bank I've ever dealt with. I have a loan with them that I am currently paying off still, I signed up for the payment protection plan that the loan rep informed me about, which entitled me to stop payment in case of job loss and other financial hardships. Unfortunately I ended up being unemployed for 2 months and informed NFCU about my employment status, "oh it's ok, you're protected by the payment protection clause" said the account manager, Mr. Sikander. Wouldn't you know I got a job a week later, and went to make an online payment, my online banking was deactivated. Due to seriously delinquent account was the reason. I called up NFCU and was told that I needed to pay off the entire loan balance to have my online banking priveledges restored. My loan was handed over to the collection agency and now my credit score is below 500. NFCU informed me that they've tried to contact me and make arrangements with me to pay the loan but I was not willing to cooperate. I in the meantime have never recieved or heard of any attempt to make arrangements. I informed the bank rep that I spoke to Mr. Sikander and he said I was under payment protection plan and that my status will be fine. They have no such record of that phone call, and on top of that, guess who calls me up the next day and tells me that I'm about to face legal issues for non pay? MR. SIKANDER!!! He claims to never have spoken to me ever!! I couldn't believe it. After I pay this loan off completely, I'm closing my account out and boycotting NFCU. I hope anyone reading this will take heed and join any other credit union or bank besides this total disgrace of a financial institute.

Should I try to get a loan from a federal credit union? I have a credit score of 709. I recently applied for a personal loan for $ 5000.00 and I was denied. I dont have alot of credit history, but how am I supposed to build credit when I cant get anything in my name? Ive had my credit card for about a year, have never been late with payments on it. I was told to try a federal credit union for the money. I'm not desperate for the money, but I want to get my name attatched to something that I am paying for. Is it frowned upon to apply for loans within a certain time period of each other or no? Any help would be appreciated.
Navy Federal Credit Union -- Credit Report? I am looking for an address to send a "goodwill" letter for Navy Federal Credit Union? I am in the Navy and I had some problems last year because both of my parents died. I spoke to navy federal about my problem, I had to pay for two funerals and I wouldn't be able to make a payment on either of my loans for 3-4 months. They said it shouldn't be a problem, that they would put a hold on my payments and then start paying again later. Well, they didn't do this, and it registered on my credit report that i was late on all of those payments. I called them and they said the best they could do would be to change them to 30 lates on each entry. This is still negatively affecting my once perfect credit score. I am comming from a 645 to a 538. Does anyone know an address I can send a "goodwill" letter to and if anyone know the name of a customer care manager that I can put it as attention to that would be great. They do not list employee info on the site, I would like to know a manager's name.

If someone robbed a federal credit union? Because its a "Federal" Credit Union, who would get jurisdiction? The local, state. or federal authorities? This is debate between me and a friend and is also has to do with part of an assignment I have for a class. That's what brought the question up in the first place. I say that the FBI would be involved because its federal property a "federal institution", if you will , but yes the local authorities would be the initial responders. Does anyone know for sure? My friend says that Federal Credit Union is just the name of the bank and it has nothing to do with it being a federal banking institution. I think that is silly, then why would it be called a Federal Credit Union, if it was not "federal"? Thanks for your input.... So the FBI is involved in all bank robberies? Because all deposits to a bank are protected by federal law right?
