  CSE is illegally holding my title that someone else paid off in exchange for the title. They are illegally holding the title for a charged off account (charged off meaning written off) and a **** in which was canceled a year ago and they illegally refused to cancel and instead keep adding late fees and interest fees for charges that are not even mine. The card should have been canceled and all late fees and interest fees stopped over a year ago. My title to my paid off vehicle which I have a receipt and proof of needs to be immediately sent to me and all late fees and interest fees from the credit card I canceled a year ago due to fraudulent charges need to be taken off and charged off as well, it is not my debt! My debt with CSE is paid off and the person who paid off the car will be suing for their title that they have completely paid off. CSE is known for being prejudice and predatory and I will also be contacting the **** ****** ***** ****** and **** about their practices. I was told when the final payment was made on my vehicle I would receive my title with no issue and now they are holding it hostage for debts I don’t owe. This is unacceptable.

  Customer is correct in that she had two loans and a ****
  with CSE Federal Credit Union.  The loan note and agreement for the loans
  contain a clause entitled “Cross Collateralization” wherein collateral for one
  loan secures any other loans or indebtedness with the Credit Union.  CSE
  Federal Credit Union is not illegally withholding her vehicle title, it is
  still security for her other indebtedness.  While yes, both of the other
  obligations have been charged off, this does not mean they are not still
  collectible and/or due and owing debts. 
  
  Our records do not show any attempt by the Customer
  requesting the closure of her **** nor any claims of fraudulent transactions
  ever being made.  She has made statements that the **** debt should be
  paid by her ex-husband and the account was in dispute in her divorce case, but
  the ex-husband was not a borrower on this debt and therefore CSE is not bound
  to any change in responsibility unless ordered to do so by a court of proper
  jurisdiction.  Finance charges and late fees do not stop until such time
  as the account is paid in full or charged off.  In this case, finance
  charges and fees did cease at the time of charge off.  Customer has just
  recently made a payment of $200 to the charged off **** and no mention was made
  of fraudulent charges at that time either.
  
  Customer’s statements of CSE Federal Credit Union being
  prejudice and predatory are untrue and perceived as defamatory in nature.
  
  We are willing to work out an amicable resolution and
  release the vehicle title for a sum of $500, which is much lower than Customer
  listed of $2,018.  We will attempt to reach the Customer and offer the
  terms of settlement directly with her as well.

  This credit union constantly charges NSF for things that should not be charged. They blame the store for holding the money for items paid for at the store - then say it’s up to the store - when they send the money. Yet u took my off my debit card. I do the day spending at another credit union and never ever have a problem. This bank needs investigated ( and I’m gonna see to it) they are charging people fees and just taking there money.

  The Complainant holds
  both a personal and a business account with CSE Federal Credit Union.  The
  Complainant contacted CSE on 9/17/24 inquiring about NSF/Overdraft fees charged
  to her personal account on August 30, 2024.  Despite speaking to several
  CSE staff members, the explanation of these charges was not acceptable
  to Complainant.  CSE staff offered to
  refund the fees charged but her business checking account is currently not in
  good standing, having been over-drafted for more than 30 days and the credit
  union would need that account brought positive before issuing the refund.

  The reason Complainant’s
  personal account was charged NSF/Overdraft fees was due to the timing of the
  transactions received by the merchants on 8/30/24 and the Complainant’s
  accessing her $400 Courtesy Pay (overdraft program) at an ATM machine. 

  CSE has no control over when pending transactions present
  for settlement by merchants.  CSE posts
  transactions upon receipt and transactions post 24 hours per day, 7 days per
  week.  Had the Complainant let these 3
  transactions clear the account before performing the $380 cash withdraw at the
  ATM, no fees would have been charged. 
  Further reason for fees being charged is Complainant is opted into
  accessing the Courtesy Pay Overdraft program/funds with the debit card and therefore
  under Regulation E, NSF/Overdraft fees are allowed to be charged when
  transactions come in for settlement and there are no longer sufficient funds in
  the account to cover the transaction(s).

  CSE has refunded the 3 fees assessed for the above-listed
  transactions as of 9/23/24.

  On 8/12/2023 I contacted CSEFCU via phone and spoke to Jackie in the solutions department. I called because upon logging in to the mobile app to pay my car payment I noticed my account was $75 short from the balance I was expecting to see. Jackie explained that another bill attempted to clear before my check had gone through and I didn't have the funds available. She offered to reverse two of the fees since I had not had any fee reversals before. I graciously thanked her and she told me I would need to contact **** to ensure they did not continue to try to bill my account. Instead of reversing fees on my account as discussed, she reversed fees on a completely different account that I am not primary on. Today, 8/18/2023 I called to follow up on the fee reversal and not only did Jackie refuse to help, she refused to take my calls all together and stated to the member services rep that she reversed the fees on the other account since it was overdrawn. Someone else's overdrawn account has nothing to do with the fees or reversal on my account. The primary on the account the fees were reversed on never even called in to request that. Poor customer service and no attempt to help resolve or rectify this situation with a long standing member.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution would be satisfactory to me.  I did receive a semi-unpleasant call back from the business, they were able to resolve the issue. 

  I appreciate the assistance from the BBB and the businesses willingness to resolve the issue.

  I have a credit card that is strictly due to a fraudulent charge and all the interest and late fees that has occurred because of that fraudulent charge. I informed the bank, filed several complaints and at the time Lisa Richardson was the bank manager who deemed it fraud and notified me I would not be responsible for the fraud charges or any fees and interest associated with it. I have left a message for Jackie who is left me a message and sent me a letter. I notified Jackie that the charges were all interest and fees from a fraudulent charge I was not responsible for and contacted an attorney to handle the situation as well as list the Fraudulent charge in a bankruptcy. Jackie took it upon herself to illegally take the money out of a non-mature CD I was specifically told by CSE could not and would not be touched! I kept in contact and CSE knows of the dispute and fraud my Money needs to be immediately deposited back into my CD. I would like a meeting with the president of CSE and if this isn't resolved and my money returned to my CD I will have to file a law suit. Thank you! I can prove the original charge was fraud and the interest that has been charge is excessive and I am not responsible for it. Return my $13,011.72. Thank you

  Kiona initially filed a
  complaint in December 2014. Complaint was answered by the credit union. In the response
  it was noted that the member’s claim was denied by ****. The company, ******************,
  verified the transaction. The member was unable or unwilling to complete the
  travel and the company offered her a credit for future travel. All of this
  information was provided to Kiona in 2014 and again in 2015. Since that time,
  Kiona continued to use and repay her **** credit card. If needed, we can provide
  statements of purchases, interest on those purchases and payments made to CSE by
  Kiona. Member continued to use the credit card for purchases and made payments through
  November 2022.

  
  No payment was received from
  the member in December 2022; thus, the account became past due. Through conversation
  with our collections department the member stated that she is still disputing
  the charges from 2015, that case has been closed. She also states that the
  fraud amount was included in a bankruptcy or an attorney has been retained to
  file claim on the amount. CSE has not been contacted by an attorney or received
  any required notification of bankruptcy filing. On January 13, 2023 it was verified
  by our collections team utilizing Pacer, a bankruptcy data base, that although she
  does have previous bankruptcy filings but they pre-date this situation (filings
  in 2003 and 2005).

  
  In 2020, Kiona also filed
  disputes for the credit card with the credit bureaus, both claims were answered
  by CSE and we continued to provide documentation that the fraud claims were
  denied and the balanced owed is valid and collectable.

  
  Per our **** Credit Card Agreement,
  the credit union reserves the right to offset funds on deposit for any past due
  balances owed to the credit union. As of the date of offset, March 21, 2023 the
  **** account was past due more than 90 days.

  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. 

  I am only $1,020.00 past due and I have reached out to the credit union and have provided information on my issue and dispute. Only thing collectible is the past due amount. I have no monies on deposit.  I have 3 CDs that are not mature until July of 2024 and they illegally even after informing me they would not, withdrew $13,011.72 from my CD. The only thing currently collectible was the past due amount of only $1,020.00. I literally just received this bill and the $1,020.00 is due by April 16, 2023 as clearly stated yet on March 21, 2023 they stole  $13,011.72 from my CD and this will be reported to the **** ******** ******* as well for these illegal practices when I clearly have a bill and what is past due right in my hands. They need to put my $13,011.72 back in my CD and when April 16th gets here the past due amount will be handled. 

  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

  In February 2021, my debit card information was compromised online. An unauthorized purchase in the amount of $95 was made. I contacted CSE and opened a fraud claim. They stated that they refunded me $95. Then, in December of 2022, CSE decided that they overpaid me, and debited $95 from my account. I only had a few dollars in this account, so this debit overdrafted the account by $88. When I reached out to CSE customer service, they stated that they could see all the activity and that I was overpaid by CSE, and the fraud department has been behind on their work so this debit just now occurred. I pulled up my bank statement online from february 2021, and did not see any evidence of that transaction. There was no communication from them prior to helping themselves to my account, putting it in the negative. This is unethical and possibly unlawful. It's 3 weeks until Christmas, and a week until my paycheck will hit that account. All the while, fees will continue to accumulate so that my entire paycheck will be snatched by them the moment it hits the account, at no fault of my own. When I called to resolve this, I was basically told that I owe them the $95 and there is nothing they will do, even though they caused this problem.

  We received notification from the member on November 18, 2021 for the disputed transaction. The card associated with the transaction was in the name of ****** *****, the joint owner of the account with Sarah. On November 18, 2021 we provided the ******* with provisional credit to their checking account. On December 8, 2021 Joshua was mailed a letter letting him know that the claim was received and that we had provided provisional credit while the investigation proceeds. On February 7, 2022 the ****** also received a credit from the merchant in the amount of the disputed transaction. On February 12, 2022 Joshua was sent a follow up letter stating that the credit was given by the merchant and our provisional credit would be removed.

  Even though I left several messages with management at CSE, no one has contacted me to discuss the issue. This was also done prior to my BBB complaint. Whenever I request proof (documentation, receipts, bank statement, etc.) I have been refused. Stating a letter was mailed over a year ago is not acceptable. Due to this lack of communication and documentation, I will not close my complaint at this time.

  This member reported fraud on their account from the debit card on August 18, 2022. When this happens the card is blocked so no other fraud can occur. The member could have come into any of our branches to pick up a new card but decided he wanted it to be mailed to him.

  Update: That comment is not accurate and we have since reached out to the member to resolve. His card was actually de-activated/frozen
