    I have been engaged in a protracted battle with Redstone Federal Credit Union for several weeks now, attempting to validate my address. Despite undertaking a arduous 3.5-hour journey to the nearest branch in ************, **, to submit the requisite documentation, all my efforts were in vain as they were summarily rejected.Initially advised that my car's vehicle registration could serve as proof of address, I found myself at a loss as I did not have immediate access to this documentation, having rented a vehicle for the trip. Undeterred, I proceeded to the ********* ********** of ******* to obtain a copy, only to face further rejection.Returning home to retrieve my original vehicle registration documents, I provided Redstone with the requested materials, including photographs of the *** number and vehicle tags for added verification. However, the ordeal persisted, with Redstone subjecting me to an exhaustive and seemingly discriminatory verification process.While I fully support measures to combat fraud, the extent of scrutiny and obstacles imposed upon me by Redstone has been unparalleled. Were it not for the implications on my credit and the considerable time invested, I would have been compelled to sever ties with the institution.It is my sincere hope that this matter can be resolved expediently and with due consideration to the undue hardship I have endured.

    Overdraft fee charged on 2/5 when I had money moved over. The fee should have automatically reversed. But it didnt when I talked to ******** on chat it seemed like she was set on making sure I didnt get any remedy because I have had previous fee reversal even thou that time 2/5 I clearly had funds moved over BEFORE the charge hit my account. Ive also been double charged for the same transaction. Looking for remedy with ******** as customer service And the fee that should not have hit my account.

    15 Jan. ****, I reported a fraudulent transaction for dispute in my RFCU Checking account. The amount was approximately 273 dollars and some cents. I had called RFCU and despite it being a holiday, I was able to connect with someone after being on hold for thirty minutes. She informed me that I should file the dispute in the banking app, and the funds would be deposited back into my account within five days. She also informed me that my card would be terminated and I could receive a new one. NEVER was I informed that my bank account would be terminated!! Why would Redstone close my bank account without any notice and keep the money remaining in the account?!

    On January 8, **** I notified Redstone Federal Credit Union that my debit card was used fraudulently. My account was -$311 because of the purchases and $175 in overdraft charges. I called the bank and their Representative, **** said it wasnt a debit card issue, however when I went to the branch office they confirmed that it was. I havent received all the credits back to my account which amounts to over $200! I am not able to pay my bills and this will get late fees on these other accounts. RedFCU did reimburse me for $200 within a day or so but now they are taking their sweet time. As a veteran I am appalled!

    Complaint: 21152116

    I am rejecting this response because:

    1. Redstone was able to give me a provisional credit within a day for a fraudulent charge. Why were the other charges delayed so long?

    2. Now I have to pay late fees to my creditors because of the delay by Redstone Federal Credit Union.

    3. They havent addressed the fact that one of their representatives said on a phone call that my debit card was not used but that was contradicted when I went to the Branch near me.

    I submitted payment for CC on 12/4 thru my USAA app via bill pay. It got sent back to my bank on 12/8 and I was not notified by RFCU which made me late for a payment. I get a call from RFCU asking for payment which confused me bc my 12/4 payment should have cleared out all my debt to RFCU. Get a call from RFCU and they were asking why I was late. I had no clue I was late bc I thought I submitted payment. Then they charge me a $8.00 convience fee. Total payment was $108.00. Again, had I been notified of my initial payment being refunded I wouldnt have been late.

    RFCU has not cooperated with properly submitting documents pertaining to a car accident to be paid by insurance. They collected payment from me for several months, then agreed to stop payments, interest and late fees due to errors of title submitting on their end. They have refused to cooperate with helping Statefarm or myself as a customer and continue to collect money and hold me accountable as they continue to make mistakes in paperwork. They are lacking communication with me except for harassment calls from collections.

    RFCU reported missed loan payment to credit bureaus, but should not have been reported because the issue with RFCU payment system. This was last payment on a car loan and the payment to close out the loan was made at least 5 times, the same way all the other payments were made, on line, for years with no issues. Their system didnt apply the payments which would have been on time and would not have been reported to credit bureaus. I have attempted to resolve this with them but they act like a big company that doesnt care. It is sad that RFCU will do people this way when they say they are a friendly place
