      EECU is trying to impose $140 on my monthly car payments with them. $140 is what EECU claims is an insurance for car loan. I have bought my car from Grapevine ****** and I also have my car's full coverage insurance that is with ************** so why would I pay EECU $140 for what?

      Business Response

      Date: 06/13/2025

      Thank you for taking the time to share your concerns. We truly understand that seeing a $140 charge for collateral protection insurance (CPI) can be both surprising and frustrating. CPI coverage is placed to protect both you and the credit union’s interest in the vehicle securing the repayment of your loan.

      Please know that placing CPI is never our goal — it is simply a safeguard we use when we have not received proof of insurance that meets the requirements outlined in your loan agreement.  We want to reassure you that if you have had your own insurance in place during this time, and it meets those requirements, we will gladly reimburse the cost of CPI once we receive that documentation. 

      We sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. Our team is here to help, and we want to make this process as easy as possible for you.

      If you haven’t already done so, please reach out to us so we can work together to resolve this quickly.

      Thank you again for being a valued member of our credit union. We appreciate the opportunity to serve you.

      There are two unfamiliar EECU accounts appearing on my credit report. In July 2023, I discovered that my personal information was compromised in a data breach, which I reported to the ***. I was never informed of any alleged debt from this company, nor did I receive any correspondence regarding these accounts being charged off. Had I been notified, I would have disputed them sooner. The accounts in question are 19XXXX and 528844XXXXXX. Additionally, TransUnion reports one account as ************, while Experian and Equifax list the same account under ************, creating a clear reporting inconsistency and FCRA violation. Not only are these accounts unverified and unknown to me, but they are also being reported inaccurately. I have attached my data breach claim and expect both accounts to be immediately removed from my credit report.

      Complaint: 23139905

      I am rejecting this response because: EECUs response fails to address the specific inaccuracies I raised in my original complaint. Simply stating that the reporting is accurate based on our records without providing any documentation or directly acknowledging the items in dispute is neither transparent nor sufficient.
      Furthermore, I have not received any direct outreach from EECU as their response falsely claims. This type of generic reply is a known stall tactic, often used to deflect responsibility without resolving the core issue. If EECU truly could not discuss this matter due to the "public nature of the forum," then the option to file a complaint here would not exist. The BBB is specifically in place for consumers to voice their concerns publicly. The company is clearly aware that these complaints are visible, yet continues to avoid accountability and refuses to take action to remove the account. If I, the consumer, am stating that this account is unfamiliar to me, and have provided proof of a data breach that exposed my personal information, then I do not have to accept these unverifiable accounts remaining on my report. I am exercising my consumer rights to escalate this matter due to the potential harm and **** violations involved. Additionally, this serves as a formal cease and desist. I do not wish to be contacted outside of the BBB portal. All communication should be documented through this platform only. Once again, I am requesting the removal of these unverified accounts from my ********************** report immediately due to the statute of limitations and the fact that these accounts were never proven to be anything that I've done.

      Regards,

      ****** *******

      EECU takes all member concerns seriously and is committed to responding to each one in a timely and respectful manner. We make every effort to address member inquiries thoroughly, and we regret that our previous response did not meet Mr. ******** expectations.

      While we are limited in the amount of account-specific detail we can share in a public forum such as the BBB, we want to reassure ********** that our response was based on a careful review of the accounts. Our intent is never to dismiss or deflect concerns, but rather to resolve them in a manner that is fair, compliant with applicable laws, and respectful of our members rights.

      Since Mr. ******* does not want to be contacted directly, please ask him to contact EECUs Chief Risk Officer and General Counsel and he can provide him with several documents, including signed loan applications, signed loan agreements, letters, and internal contact notes identifying dates and times Mr. ******* was contacted by an EECU representative.

      Regarding Mr. ******** statement about a discrepancy in the reporting of account numbers on his ********************** reports, we would like to point out that the account numbers are the same. *************************** chose to drop the first 4 digits of the loan number (5288) from its reporting. 

      At EECU, we are committed to providing a Better Way of Banking.

      Complaint: 23139905

      I am rejecting this response because: You stated to contact the *** but failed to provide the name and contact information of the Chief Risk Officer. You also responded to the varying account numbers but failed to address the continuation of notating that account as **** well into 2025 when the date of last payment was 2020/2021. This is inaccurate and misleading. A charge-off is a one-time event, not an ongoing status to be re-applied monthly. By continuing to report fresh charge-off notations without any new activity, the account is being falsely portrayed as currently delinquent, which is a direct violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). The Date of Last Activity (DLA) is a critical reporting element, and since there has been no communication or payment since 2020/2021, the account should not reflect continued delinquency in 2025. This kind of reporting ***** consumers and misrepresents the true status of the account. I am requesting this be corrected and the erroneous charge-off updates be removed immediately.

      Regards,

      ****** *******

      Thank you for your continued feedback.

      As previously noted, the Better Business Bureau is a public forum, and in the interest of protecting your privacy and maintaining compliance with applicable regulations, we are unable to discuss or disclose specific account details in this space.

      We can confirm that you have been in direct communication with EECUs Chief Risk Officer, and that this matter is currently under review through the appropriate channels equipped to handle concerns of this nature. We encourage you to continue working through that direct line of communication, as it remains the most effective path toward resolution.

      With respect to your credit reporting concerns, we reaffirm that EECU complies with all applicable laws and regulatory requirements, including those outlined in the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA), when furnishing information to the credit bureaus. Based on our review, the reporting accurately reflects the current status of the account. Should you have new information to provide, we remain open to reviewing any supporting documentation through the appropriate forum.

      We appreciate your patience as this matter is given the careful attention it requires.

      It has come to my attention that EECU failed to include a notice of dispute in my credit report concerning an account in my name. This failure constitutes a violation of the **Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) Section 623(a)(3)** and/or the **Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) Section 807(8)**. According to the provisions of the ****, Section 623(a)(3), furnishers of information are obligated to notify credit reporting agencies if an account is disputed by the consumer. Additionally, under the ****** Section 807(8), any omission or misrepresentation of disputed information is explicitly prohibited. As of todays date, my credit report does not reflect the required notice of dispute for this account. This omission directly impacts my creditworthiness and exposes me to undue harm. I kindly request that EECU take immediate corrective action, and update this account to PAID NEVER LATE.I am attaching a letter and certified mail receipts of letters that I've sent to EECU regarding this.

      On February 14 I made a mobile deposit for $500. My son received a check for work performed where he lives in the amount of $500. He has no checking/saving account and no transportation so he could not go to ***** to cash it and he has not received his replacement Drivers License either. He endorsed the check to me and I signed it and did the mobile deposit on Feb 14 and received a confirmation number listed on the back of the check.Two days later I sent my wife the money to give him. Four days later, unknown to me at the time EECU reversed the deposit and then charged me 3 $34 charges for payments from my account to my ********************** cards. I do not check my account regularly as I always had funds there. I went to get a part at ********** and the bank card was refused 2x. I went in that night and discovered the account was over $300 in the hole. I tried to call but EECU has no weekend after hours customer support. I went to the bank Monday, February 24 and was told they do not allow 3rd party checks on mobile deposit. I have been doing mobile deposits for years and this was my 1st 3rd party check and no where when depositing online do they have any flag about 3rd party checks. Good coding would have a pop up asking if 3rd party and then deny the deposit...instead I received a confirmation nbr.The assist mgr at the School branch in ********* informed me about the 3rd party check rule. Said she would have to put a 5 day hold on the check which I had taken with me. Then could only waive 2 of the 3 $34 chges. Then told the clerk to put in my savings on a 7 day hold. I went in today to savings and the funds were not released so I called the after hours nbr. On hold then a young lady said the check hold person could fix it-back on hold 3 to 5 minutes. ***** came on n ************ w info on the check-she spoke to a Supervisor who said the check would have to be on hold another days to Mar 5. First I get a confo nbr then told 5 days but put 7 days hold now 10 days.

      I specifically opened an account with this bank because they said my direct deposit Calpers checks would be available 2 days earlier each month. I had this same service with my credit union in ********** and then in *******, **. This has never happened yet and they even advertise this on the web.

      I was charged $110.00 from EECU for failure of insurance. I have had insurance on my vehicle the entire time. I had to update my homeowners insurance that was bundled with my auto a few months back. I did notify my new insurance provider which is ******** who my car loan was with so they can update them with my new w insurance information. I never had any calls, emails or mail from eecu asking to verify insurance. I paid my January car note on Jan 21st and started recieving phone calls from eecu telling me I was past due so I contacted them to see what the issue was. They proceded to advise me I had an extra balance owed of $110.00 due to not having insurance. I explained I have a new provider and they sent you all the declration page back a few months ago when I switched. EECU said they never recieved it so I sent them an email of my declration page. I recieved an email stating that it would take 2 days for them to reviews. I never heard back and continued to notice my online portal showed I owed my full car payment plus the $110 which showe me almost 25 days past due. I worked really hard on my credit and have NEVER had a credit hit on my account for paying late so I contacted them to see what I could do to prevent that. I felt concerned that they showed me past due for the full amount which looks like I never made my January payment when In fact I paid it on January 21st. This caused me extra interest from finance charges plus potentially giving me a credit hit. The insurance told me they never received the email I sent over to them with my proof of insurance even though they emailed me telling me they did. She called the insurance and verified on Friday January 31st that I did in fact have insurance. She told me they would remove the $110.00 charge but it would take 7-10 days. That I would still have to pay it to no longer show past due. I borrowed the funds to pay it but feel this was not legally correct. Please help me.

      You should not have to call in to limit the sharing of your personal information. Additionally, there is no way to prove that they truly opted you out of sharing your personal information.
