      When I sign up for the account is specifically asks you, do you want us to reject overdraft charges or allow them to go through and charge you a fee? And I specifically said no. Do not allow the account to go over draft. Come to find out all these things are coming through the account overdrafting the account all the time and then they say that it's because it's going through as a bill payment and not as a a card payment when every single one of those payments are done by card. Not one of them has a routing number or an account number for them to be charging me and overdraft fee as if it's an ACH payment when it's not. If it's putting through with a card number then it is not and bill payment. It is gone through the card and should be rejected and yet this bank continuously keeps charging me overdraft fees when I specifically ask them not to for any transaction that is not an ACH transaction and none of the transactions that have come through are ACH transactions and yet they keep trying to charge me for something I specifically signed off to not do and every time I call in they explain this and yet this is still a problem so obviously they need to change their protocol or get rid of the whole thing in their signup process. Asking you if you want to not have overdraft fees because it's a lie because they'll keep letting things come through regardless. I have never dealt with an institution that is so backwards on what your signup policy is compared to what actually happens. I have never had this happen with any other bank. Any other bank that says they do not allow overdrafts mean they do not allow overdrafts. If my routing number and my account number it is not included in the payment then it is not an ACH payment and it should not be getting overdrafted for it. You need to change the wordage of your signup process or don't offer it if you're just going to go back on your word

      I have had numerous issues with this bank when disputing items. They never fully investigate and close out charge disputes. When you finally push them to do so, they will see things in your favor and still not issue the refund. They blame and push it off on ***** Amazon issued a refund for $262.62 on a damaged item and still my bank has refused to post it to my account. My next complaint with be with the ****

      I requested a vehicle loan pre-approval from Lake Michigan Credit Union on July 5, 2022. The pre-approval amount and the rate were valid for 60 days. I purchased a vehicle on August 16, 2022. I spoke with a Lake Michigan Credit Union representative about indirect financing since the dealership I utilized does not do direct funding with the credit union. The individual assisted me with the delivery of paperwork to the credit union and all needed documents were submitted timely. On September 12, 2022, I received a call from the dealership stating that they had not received payment from Lake Michigan Credit Union. Apparently, the loan was closed on September 4, 2022. I received no notice about the loan's closure, nor did I receive any notice about the loan's status. When I called the credit union, there were several confusing remarks and it appears that Lake Michigan Credit Union never remitted the payment to the dealership when the paperwork was submitted. Since the pre-approval rate expired, my credit report had to be pulled again and my new rate went up more than **** points. Therefore, my monthly payment increased by almost $100 despite an excellent credit score.

      I have a closed credit card account with Lake Michigan Credit Union. As of June, I stopped receiving bills for my monthly payment. I called customer service in July, and was told a bill would be sent. August 15,2022 I received a call stating my bill was late and was told that the statement they sent was returned by the USPSIm not sure why, as I have not moved and have lived at my residence for 13 years. I requested a new bill and was told We dont send out bills, only quarterly statements. I was told to Just mail a check every month. August 16, 2022 I sent **** of America check #**** in the amount of $88.00 to the address on my statement. August 24, 2022 I received a call stating that I still owe a payment. What I want from LMCU is for them to find what happened to the check I sent and also to be sent a monthly bill. Their current system, where I dont know the due date of my bill, the minimum payment, or the payoff allows far too much leeway in favor of the bankmiss the due date I dont know about and incur a late fee and the associated interest. But I send a check with no account number attached (since I dont know it any they wont tell me), and the bank loses it. I cannot pay online as I do not have online access in spite of multiple attempts to gain online access. I would like a monthly bill, and for the bank to find the check they lost.

      Neither Lake Michigan Credit Union or Extra has provided me with any outcome; they have told me they are not refunding the money I did not authorize on 7/29/22. These transactions were spam for 3-4 months. I am a traveling nurse. I travel to different countries, states, and instate. I had a relationship with Extra, which took money from my account via ACH. I have 15 unauthorized transactions from them. I have gone to them about the transactions and was supposed to get my money back. However, they kept saying someone would reach out to you within 24 business hours. No one has reached out to say you will receive your credit back to your linked account within 3-5 business days, then **** Business days. Ive been texting them every day for two weeks straight, with no answer on where my money is. On Thursday of 8/11/22, I finally got a response which was they were closing my account due to violating the terms and conditions of the card. I went to my bank, where I have previously disputed transactions that were not mine, and the same day I noticed money was being withdrawn from my account. I have had 3 LMCU cards issued out and three extra cards issued out. I put them in my Apple and ******* Wallet, so I dont have to carry them on my person. My bank called me on 8/12/22, informing me they are not refunding me anything simply because I logged onto my app and viewed my balance and didnt question why my ratio was lower! As I told them, I do not check my account balances and transactions daily. I go into the app to do other things such as deposit checks, get my accounting and routing # to lock and unlock my card, get my E-statements, etc. They claim I did authorize those transactions by looking at balance! The manager was delighted to say you must reach out to Extra because we are not giving you the money back. They will have to; hang Up on me.
