  I just paid for the car and they intentionally withheld information to get my car.  There was no notification before the repossession of my car. I asked the manager what do you mean and she would not explain it to me. They could have notified me before this repossession. It was $2242.25 and they said Midwest Recovery charges fees to get the car back. This is not fair at all!!I would like to go get my car.

  Dear Ms ********************* you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We understand how upsetting this situation must be, and we want to provide clarification.
  
  Please be assured that we informed you that your loan payments were past due and advised you to contact the repossession company directly for information regarding your vehicle. In addition to the formal notification regarding the delinquency and potential repossession, which was sent to you in accordance with our standard procedures, multiple attempts were made to contact you by phone to discuss the matter.
  
  We also want to clarify that any fees related to the repossession and recovery process are determined by Midwest Recovery, and we do not quote or control those charges.
  
  The vehicle has since been released back to you.
  
  Sincerely,
  ***** *********

  So back in January of 2023 we moved our car loan from Neighbors to a nee bank. We asked for all accounts to be closed and wiped. They didnt wipe. Then they had a MASSIVE data breech, and gave us credit monitoring. I called them again and asked them to remove my data from their system. THEY HAD ANOTHER DATA BREECH, and more of my data was gotten and it happened in September and I just found out. Im sorry but two data breeches in a year? ****. I have been trying to reach Neighbors but they make it insanely difficult to talk to anyone. I finally got through to someone I thought would help and she emailed me told me that I could reach out. And that a phone call back will "be a few business days" its now been two weeks no follow up no call no email. This BBB is mainly to get someones attention to get a call back or something. Im so sick of their "customer service"

  I was making over the phone payments to ******** ****** ( a live persone ) and also ***** *******-*******. Upon making my two ( separate ) car payments over the phone, a ****** Altima and ****** Highlander to ********, many of those payments were only going to the Highlander, which caused the ****** to go into default and eventually getting my car repossessed. I called to figure out why this kept happening because I was making my payments. This time I spoke to *****. After explaining the situation ***** and Neighbors realizing it was a human error on there end. ( ******** ****** ) ***** said her manager would remove the marks on my credit file, if I file a dispute with the credit bureaus Neighbor would have them removed. I have filed multiple times and Also have called to get this resolved to *****, but no phone calls have been returned. I haven't filed to the BBB because I was hoping to be patient and get this resolved its been since 2023. According to my credit report 2023 April, June, August and Sept are LATE. But this isn't the case. Repos was in Sept, or so, but I called ******** and she had to take payments the went to the ****** and apply them to the ******. I was current and they didn't call off the repo man, so it still got towed. I have transferred the majority of my loan and only *** about ******* on this. I was making payments but there were being applied by an neighbors employee to the wrong loan and going to one loan and not both. Please can you assist in getting these negative remarks off my record. ******* number is ********************** - I have left a message once a couple months ago and another one yesterday. I tried again today May 14th, but again went to voicemail. Please can you assist in getting these negative remarks removed. Thank you for your time.

  Please rest assured that we are taking immediate steps to correct this. We are working directly with the credit bureaus to remove the inaccurate late payment records from your credit file. This matter is being addressed by the Recovery Manager, and we are committed to ensuring a prompt and thorough resolution. Once our process is completed, the Recovery Manager will contact you directly.

  Summary of Events and Responses
  Timeline of Events with PSCU/Velera:
  February 19, 2025: ****** ****** contacted **** after being laid off to request payment options. A hardship payment plan of $150/month (starting Feb. 28) was arranged. She verbally authorized the payments.
  February 22, 2025: A revised schedule was offered and accepted: payments set for Feb. 28, Mar. 31, and Apr. 30. Verbal authorization was given again for the same checking account ending in 8139.
  March 11, 2025: The Feb. 28 payment failed with an unable to locate account error. As a result, all future payments were automatically canceled by the system. It's believed the agent may have used stored account data (potentially inaccurate) instead of obtaining full routing/account info directly from Mrs. ************ supervisor spoke with Mrs. ******* offering to reinstate payments. However, her main concern was the credit reporting issue, and she was advised to file disputes directly with the credit bureaus.
  Current account status:
  Balance: $8,316.75
  Amount due: $649.00
  Past due: $150.00
  Delinquency: 42 days
  Last valid payment: $200 on Jan 3, 2025
  
  Response and Action by Neighbors:
  It was identified that the correct account number is xxxx, not xxxx, which likely caused the payment failure.
  New auto-payment plan set up:
  $150 monthly from April 25 September 25, 2025
  First payment will bring the loan current
  Auto-pay ends after final payment in September
  Resolution steps:
  Delinquencies for Feb, Mar, and Apr 2025 will be corrected on her credit report after the April 25 payment is successfully made.
  A review with PSCUs vendor is being initiated regarding documentation errors, delays, and late fees.
  Open offer to assist further if needed.

  I financed my 2014 Dodge Durango 2/2022 for $24,000 as of now 1/2025 the balance owed is $19,000 I have had full coverage insurance on the vehicle since I purchased the vehicle a provided Neighbors with the initial proof of insurance in the form of a declaration page and wasn't informed that if and when i decide to switch insurance companies i had to report it. This discrepancy has caused a financial hardship and burden to my family as it affects my credit rating with the three major credit bureaus TransUnion Equifax and Experian. I have tried to resolve this with neighbors by calling in and following the instructions given by the representative such as emailing and/or faxing the declarations page. I made a former complaint but wasn't given any contact information to rectify this discrepancy. I would like a thorough review of account and correct the amount owed. I have provided the policy declarations requested and expect an update immediately as this has been hurting my credit for 2 years. I was only able to upload one policy declaration and would like to contacted directly by neighbors or provided with contact information to send declarations pages as your source of verification isnt reliable.

  Hello,

  I have been in direct contact with ******** regarding this concern.Ive explained that the partial documentation we have received so far is not sufficient to remove **** as it does not show proof of full coverage insurance for the missing policy dates outlined in the original response (1/24/23-12/14/23). ******** provided one page from a Progressive policy that appears to be liability-only coverage (1/24/23-6/24/23) and a Geico policy for full coverage outside of the missing policy period we need.
  
  ******** also requested and I provided the documentation signed at the dealership outlining the agreement to provide full coverage insurance on the collateral for the entire life of the loan. Im working closely with ******** and assured her that as soon as we receive the documentation of full coverage insurance for the missing policy period 1/24/23-12/14/23,the added premium issue will be addressed in a timely manner.

  Supporting documentation can be provided to show Neighbors CU is in agreement with the loan contract signed by ******** at the time of closing this loan. 
  
  Thank you,

  I financed my 2014 Dodge Durango 2/2022 for $24,000 as of now 12/24 the balance owed is $24,000. I have had full coverage insurance on the vehicle since I purchased the vehicle a provided Neighbors with the initial proof of insurance in the form of a declaration page from ************** policy number AOV-*************. I switched insurance company 1/23 to Progressive policy number ********* then Geico policy number *********** 6/23-5-24 now with Allstate policy number ********* from 5/24-present. I have had Neighbors listed as a lien holder on each policy. Upon me reading my sales contract with neighbors it doesnt state anywhere that I am required to send in a declaration every time I obtain or renew insurance. This discrepancy has caused a financial hardship and burden to my family as it affects my credit rating with the three major credit bureaus TransUnion Equifax and Experian. I have tried to resolve this with neighbors by calling in and following the instructions given by the representative such as emailing declarations to we have *************************** neighborscu as well as faxing **** and ******* ***********.

I have provided policy account numbers so that you may further verify my insurance status since I had already sent in documents.

  ******** ******,
  
  Thank you for bringing this matter to our attention. Upon thorough review of your loan history, it appears that we did not receive the required documentation to confirm continuous insurance coverage throughout the full term of the loan.
  
  I understand the frustration this may have caused, therefore using the policy numbers provided, I reached out directly to multiple insurance companies to obtain the necessary documentation.
  
  As a result of the documentation I was able to secure, we have refunded a portion of the force-placed insurance premiums. However, there are still some outstanding coverage periods for which we need confirmation to process additional refunds:
  ********************** Their representative, *****, informed me that they can only provide the required documentation via physical mail and could not email or fax for immediate review. Once we receive the mailed documentation, you may be entitled to further refunds.
  **************** While we have received partial confirmation of coverage, we are still missing details for specific dates you reported and have not been able to get through to a Geico representative for assistance.
  
  To expedite the resolution and ensure any remaining refunds are processed, we kindly ask for documentation covering the following period:
  January 24, 2023 December 14, 2023 from both Progressive and Geico.
  
  Additionally, I would like to address your concern regarding the requirement to provide insurance documentation when policies switch or renew. Please refer to the Supplemental Provisions document signed at the dealership during the loan closing. This document outlines the requirement to maintain continuous insurance coverage throughout the life of the loan and to provide proof of coverage when changes occur.
  
  Please feel free to forward any additional documents to me directly and we will promptly review them.
  
  I appreciate your patience and cooperation as we work to resolve this issue.Should you have any questions or need further assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me directly.
  
  Thank you,

  Neighbors credit union keeps charging me $30 courtesy pay fees when I never asked them for the courtesy and have requested several times that they turn the feature off. Ive called and Ive sent an email making this request. Most recently I was charged a $30 courtesy fee for a $2.99 transaction.

  

  Business Response

  Date: 10/11/2024

  Neighbors Credit Union has investigated Mr. Pulliam’s
  complaint regarding Courtesy Pay and our records indicate that Mr. Pulliam opted
  in to our Courtesy Pay service via our online banking platform requesting this
  service be added to his account on July 29th, 2024. Per this request
  the Courtesy Pay service was added to his account on the same day as his
  request. On August 8th and August 21st our notes indicate
  that Mr. Pullium did request Courtesy Pay fees be refunded, and we agreed to
  return these fees with a full education of the service that had been requested
  and the fees that can be assessed for this service. Our notes do not indicate a
  request to remove this service.
  On October 11th we reached out to Mr. Pullium via
  phone and email to request a Courtesy Pay opt out document be signed and
  returned to Neighbors to remove this service. In this communication, we have
  agreed to return the fees he was assessed on October 7th and removal
  of the Courtesy Pay service once we receive the required Courtesy Pay opt out
  document back, options were also provided to complete and return this document.
  We have also explained the functioning of his debit card if Courtesy Pay is
  removed from his account along with the possibility of NSF fees when funds are
  not available for ACH transactions.
  Follow-up communication will be ongoing as we attempt to
  reach Mr. Pullium to meet his request submitted in his complaint.

  Dear Valued Member:
  For several, the last week of September was a frustrating time to be a Neighbors member. The service interruption that began Friday evening, September 20th, continued into the early part of the week. And while our o?ine processing limits and rules are designed within industry best practices, they are not the convenient business as usual you expect from Neighbors. I apologize for any frustration or inconvenience you may have experienced.
  While we are in the initial stages of investigating the root cause and the impact of the service interruption, we can share the Credit Union experienced unauthorized activity that a?ected a limited number of our systems. Once alerted of this activity by our monitoring operations, we intently took our systems o?ine. And, working with our third-party cybersecurity experts, began the methodical process of ensuring each aspect of our infrastructure from phones to workstations to servers and more was free from threats before bringing services back online. We did notify law enforcement and credit union regulators, and the Credit Union is following all established protocols.
  Though our investigation is ongoing, rest assured we have contained the threat and have implemented additional security safeguards. The Credit Union along with our cybersecurity vendors continue to closely monitor our systems for any unusual activity. If our investigation determines that the incident involved unauthorized access to any member data, we will promptly notify those members in accordance with applicable law.
  Please know, data security is of the utmost importance and our team is committed to protecting the data you entrust to us. We take this responsibility and trust seriously. On behalf of the entire Neighbors team, I thank you for being a Neighbors Credit Union member.
  Sincerely, ***** *****
  Chief Executive O?cer

  On their website it says I can use Vantage CU ATMs as part of the co-op network with no fees. They have been charging me fees that have led to overdraft fees and overdraft protection fees. They are aware of the problem and refuse to refund the money they have fraudulently taken out of my account. Ive counted at least 17 occasions they have charged me ATM fees fraudulently which has led to 4 overdraft protection fees and 4 overdraft fees.
