I have two complaints against Space Coast Credit Union. My tenant deposited their rent back on 9/5 to my account. . ******************** instead of making a deposit, the bank withdrew money from my account. I have to authenticate my account with 6 different pieces of info, but my bank who I have been banking with for 16 years allowed someone to withdraw money... how did this happen? i called the bank and they stated they would contact a local branch manager to call me to assist and explain what took place. That was two weeks ago and no one called me back. Today I checked my bank acct and back on 7/12 I called Space Coast to place a stop payment on a check that my *** advised never arrived for June. I paid directly to the *** and didn't want them to cash payment for JUne if the check ever arrived. Space coast was supposed to place a stop payment. They charged me a fee and credited it back because I could not stop the payment myself. This morning I logged into my account only to find that space coast credit union cashed the check from June. What is the point of calling a bank that does not follow instructions?Business Response

My business checking account and savings account at ********************** has been completely locked out. A client of our company had previously paid an outstanding invoice. The funds were transferred into our business account and had been free and clear for weeks. An accounting issue at the client's business caused the funds to be withdrawn weeks after they were sent. Space Coast Credit Union did NOT notify the owner or members of our company and our company found out about the entire business account being locked AFTER another customer could not receive funds from our company for services they rendered. This is causing us to lose money and business. Upon calling Space Coast several times and speaking with managers, they refuse to reopen the account, they refuse to provide ANY information as to what is happening with the account and simply respond "they are looking into it". They will not allow us to speak with anyone in the loss prevention department handling the case. With EVERY OTHER banking or credit union we have used in the past, any disputed transaction is placed in review and the funds credit remains in our account while it is being reviewed - we still have the ability to use our banking account, and we are permitted to speak with someone in the loss prevention department about the case. We also are notified of banking issues in a timely manner when they are first noticed by the bank/union. The account is still frozen after we have spoken with the client that retracted the previous transfer and they have since transferred the funds back, yet Space Coast still will not unlock the account, causing us to lose business and money.Needed Resolution: Unlock business account Have someone from loss prevention call us and give us information as to what is happening and why Admit their fault in their procedures of handling loss prevention cases AND MAKE CHANGES TO PROCEDURES Change procedures on how and when customers are notified of their accounts being lockedBusiness Response

SCCU sides with scam companies (Furnished Finders) when it comes to credit card disputes. The scam company, with loads of other complaints with BBB) automatically renews for $149... cannot be cancelled. I had to change my credit card number to stop further charges. My June '24 SCCU statement said "Transaction dispute RESOLVED in members favor". $149 was credited back to my account. The $149 was snuck back on my July '24 statement with this entry "Purchase (0440)"... $149.00. I called SCCU and explained. Was promised a call within 48 hours...never happened. Called again ... I was told ...we followed the rules and sided with scammer company. I am a 74 year old Vietnam veteran. I have been a SCCU member for approximately 23 years. I've never had a problem like this before. SCCU should get on the right side of disputes...just check BBB! They are always promising how much credit card protection they offer. *******************Business Response

On May 29, 20**, a family member wire transferred money from her financial institution into my personal account at ********************** (I also hold a business account). The money was an inheritance from my brother who was deceased on April 13. The following day an UNAUTHORIZED wire transfer was done out of my personal account at *********************************************. After discovering this, within the hour, I immediately went to the credit union to find out the details of the wire transfer. It should be known, in almost 20 years as a member, there has never been a wire transfer out of my account. A police report was filed at this time with the Volusia *********************** (Case #**-12275) for the fraudulent transaction on my account. Since that time, almost a month has passed, and I have checked numerous times as to the status of when the money would be put back in my account. I physically went to the *********** branch office on *************** on June 27, 20**, only to be told by ****** the funds would NOT be refunded at all, that it was fraud, and I was just going to be out the $25,000. They also informed me this was not covered under FDIC; this was only if the financial institution failed. After reading complaints from other members I have my suspicion that this might be an "inside job". The scenarios sound exactly the same. There have also been lawsuits for breaches to members' information in the past. In particular, there was a breach on May 30, 2023; not discovered until August 2, 2023. There were 602 members affected who were not notified until September 1, 2023. In the meantime, I am presumably out $25,000 of my brother's inheritance which could've been earning interest for the month.Business Response
