  My name is ******** ****** I had a car loan with Alltru Credit Union, acct ********** I had a 36 month vehicle loan with Alltru Credit Union. As you can see on my credit report, I have made every payment on time. The payment is due on the 25th of every month. On Friday 6-23-2023, I made what I thought was the last payment in the amount of $250.00. The payment cleared my account at ******* ****** ***** on 6-23-23. Then, i realized I was short $6.50 of the payoff amount and I paid that as well. Because I paid my vehicle off early Alltru is retaliating against me because I paid the vehicle off and they would no longer receive interest on the account. They flagged my account with all 3 credit bureaus as late. My credit score dropped by 82 points and went from Excellent to good. I tried contacting Alltru via my account when I logged in and they were not able to help. The payment cleared my account at ******* ****** ***** on Monday 6-26-23. I made the payment online. You do not make a payment with Alltru Credit Union online and it clears the same day. All my payments are online and easily tractable. I want my credit report corrected and would like everyone to know not to ever get an auto loan with Alltru because they will retaliate when the loan is almost paid for. Because of this issue and the life changing blemish on my credit report, I am devasated. I cannot eat and I cannot sleep. I work hard to ensure I maintained my credit report and at the drop of a hat, Alltru Credit Union blemish on my credit report changed my life forever. Please assist me with the unfair practices of Alltru Credit Union. My next step is to hire a lawyer and go public with what Allltru did to my credit report and to warn the public never to get a loan with them.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. I have been checking all 3 credit bureaus and my credit report is not updated yet.  I just hope Alltru Credit Union is honest in their response and sincerity to resolve this matter.  I will continue to monitor my credit report to see if the late payment is taken off.  If its not taken off within 30 days, I will make another complaint to the BBB.

  I went to buy a car and found out I was approved for the auto loan.  The advertisement stated I  get 90 days before my first payment is due.  After I was approved for the loan I received a letter in the mail and a payment book stating my payments will start in a month.  I called the bank and they told me the 90 day offer did not apply to me because I did not come into the bank location to receive the loan and went to the dealership.  It states nowhere on their website of this policy.

  We appreciate Mr. ******* bringing the issue to our attention and the matter has been resolved. The
  dealership where the loan was closed did not set the first payment for 90 days which was an option for
  all members financing a vehicle. When Mr. ******* noticed the due date being sooner than the 90 days
  which was advertised, he contacted Alltru. We reviewed the request and modified the loan due date as
  requested. When we received the complaint from your office, the loan payment had already been
  modified. We apologize that the due date was not adjusted sooner and have reviewed the issue with the
  Lending department.

  On March 18, I wrote a letter to All Tru CU requesting documents about an old account and I have not received a response as of today. The letter reads as follows:
  I am writing to request the full payment history and the original contract for the auto account that was held with your company. The account in question is listed under my name with the account number *************.
  
  Furthermore, I would like to request all repossession notices and confirmation proof of delivery related to this account. I need this information asap for personal review.
  
  Please note that I have moved, and I request that all documents be sent to my new address (new address included in attachment below).

  This credit union is putting CPI charges on my auto loan without making legitimate attempts to warn me about the charges and then making it extremely difficult to get them removed. They ask for proof of insurance randomly or else they put the cpi charge on my loan. I don't see the warning because they're not legitimate attempts for me to see them. I then send them the proof of insurance. They continue to call and say I'm late on my payments because the cpi is doubling my monthly payments and I've only been paying my normal payment.i send them the necessary documents multiple times to get the cpi removed and they don't recognize and remove the cpi until I threaten them with a lawyer or a complaint with the BBB. This is the 2nd time this has happened in 3 years.

  RE: Case # ********
  We appreciate Mr. ****** bringing this to our attention and being able to research this. Please know we are most sorry for the frustration our insurance verification process caused. As a credit union, our purpose to help members with their financial matters; not to make it difficult to do business with us.
  On 11/8/2022 Alltru’s insurance partner received notice from Mr. ******’ insurance company that the insurance policy on the auto had been cancelled. On 12/10/22 Alltru’s insurance partner mailed a ‘1st Insurance Canceled’ notice to Mr. ****** and the joint borrower asking for new insurance information. On 1/10/23 our insurance partner mailed a ‘2nd Insurance Canceled’ notice to Mr. ****** and the joint borrower asking for new insurance information. On 2/11/23 our insurance partner mailed a ‘Notice of Placement of Insurance’ notice to Mr. ****** and the joint borrower giving notice that an insurance policy would be force placed on the loan for the auto. On 3/10/23 our insurance partner mailed a ‘Notice of Insurance’ notice to Mr. ****** and the joint borrower giving details of the insurance policy added to their auto loan. On 4/10/23 an agent representing The Standard Fire Insurance company provided new proof of insurance for Mr. ****** and the joint borrower’s vehicle. On 4/14/2023 a full refund was issued for the force placed insurance policy. Copies of these notices can be provided upon request.
  Should you have any additional questions or comments, please contact us at ###-###-####.

  I go into the bank to deposit a check, the teller put the check in the wrong account, my joint account with my daughter. I noticed and went back in and asked to have it moved. She told that in order to move it to my personal account I will need to make a payment on my car loan which is $289. I said I can pay $200 today she insisted that I pay the full $289. The transfer was not completed. My daughter then tells me the full loan payment was placed on hold from her account. I get a phone call from a ********* ****, **** ******* who tells me that I purposely put the check in my kid account because I work for a bank. She then a few days later place funds on hold from my personal account. She then again a week or so later place more funds on hold. She reached out via email telling me my debit card was deactivated in which it has never been deactivated for a car loan payment. Yet again she placed more funds on hold. Prior into going into the bank on Feb 6th, being under **** ******* radar and the teller placing the check in the wrong account I never had this issue. While I understand the policies and regulations I now feel harassed and I feel as if my account is being watched by her. It’s makes me uncomfortable to do business with this bank.

  We have received the above complaint filed by Ms. *****.

  We

  follow up with her and address her concerns. After the discussion a
  partial payment was agreed upon and made. Ms. ***** also requested that
  there would be no contact from Ms. ******* again. Ms. ******* will no
  longer handle Ms. *****'s accounts with Alltru Credit Union.

  Predatory overdraft fees/policy. I was simply making purchases of gas. The app did not show my true available balance. So when I overdraft -$2 you can share my surprise. Not only was I informed by the supervisor at the wentzville MO location, that I was expected to be able to do the proper math to calculate what my TRUE balance was. But I was also expected to know exactly what the ACTUAL pending amount to be charged to my card was. Since in the system the number “pending” did not reflect the true amount that was even charged to begin with. Not to mention my card should decline if I have insufficient funds available… So my account went from -$2.14 to -$90.64 in a matter of two days. Two non-business days at that. I WILL be drawing the remaining funds from my other accounts and closing my accounts here. 15 years I’ve banked with Alltru. And I get treated like I’m a fool because their archaic systems are unable to reflect the true balance of my account. Would never recommend anyone coming here with there money. You may just fall victim to their predatory overdraft fees/policies.

  Dear BBB,

   

  I personally followed up with Mr. ******* and had a wonderful conversation with him about avoiding NSF fees in the future.  We are refunding his two fees and he is happy.   

   

  Thank you for reaching out to us about this matter.

  I opened an account for an auto loan. The account was required to have $5. I paid my $2,000 auto loan every month on time. I sold my vehicle and ended the loan in July of 2022. In September, a payment was made for $15 to an unknown (fraudulent) ****** account. The Alltru account only had $5, so the charge was reversed, but Alltru charged the account with a $30 overdraft fee. I was NEVER given a physical debit or credit card as I made the account for an auto loan. They sent my account to collections for the $30 overdraft fee due to the fraudulent purchase. I was never called and notified. They now won’t answer my phone calls and I was met with hostility within the Wentzville branch. It should be known: the only institution with access to this account’s banking information is the bank itself signifying a breach in their information or internal theft. After my own investigation regarding their practices, this has happened to many of their customers along with “short-changing” cash withdrawals.

  In response to Complaint ID ********, Ms. ******** had a savings account with the credit union, On 9/22/22, the credit union emailed ****** ********, the primary member on the account inquiring about the overdrawn account and asking him to call. Additional emails were exchanged but, unfortunately the issue was never discussed. On 11/8/22, Mr. ******** visited the branch, where he had identified that a transaction was suspected to be fraudulent. There were two charges to the account for $15.14 each from ****** Prime, one on 8/7/22 and one on 9/7/22. The 9/7/22 charge overdrew the account. We have reinstated the account and reversed these two transactions, placing the funds back into the account, bringing it to a positive balance. We have left a message with Ms. ******** and will either send these funds to the member or have the account remain open.

  This bank convinces people Youngs adults especially to open savings accounts and then uses the fees of an overdraft trying to hide them unless you know how to do math and then doesn't explain in detail when advertising and convincing you 2 open them the AllTru Credit Union in Washington
