Time urgent
I beg all current and future members to read this and steer clear of this abhorrent credit Union I am writing once again to request your urgent assistance in resolving my concerns after an ongoing issue with the Credit Union has left me rather perplexed and distressed given the experience which I have had in my short time as a new member of Golden 1 Credit Union Please note that at this time I am also urgently requesting your Press contacts which was denied me by your colleague Ms Landberg as I am contacting NBC4 Los Angeles I-Team to aid in this horribly egregious matter s resolution and providing them all logged conversations with your staff and the ill-advisements provided me during this ongoing and egregious matter Please note that after my initial email to you requesting assistance and escalation to Credit Union management after multiple notably confusing interactions with customer care staff that my family members whom reside in New York were contacted without my knowledge to inquire about me and my information While I can certainly appreciate doing one s diligence for a new Accountholder I do believe that this was indeed unnecessary at which time I amiably worked directly with Ms Karen Cavallero in Financial Investigations to confirm both the validity of my identity as the accountholder and the check deposit from my father the check writer This Credit Union has abused me and my ability to do banking and survive and I am requesting urgent escalation and the Credit Union s Press contacts I have been grossly ill-advised by countless members of your staff of my fund availability and this is grossly unacceptable at every level Please be advised that my distress at this time stems from the arduous process which I have been placed through these past two days with the information provided to me this afternoon by your staff today on a call today Inbound recorded - 2 1 23 that once Retail Experience signs off on the check today all funds would be available I was further advised at 10 12am by Latrice today that she had heard good things regarding the release of my funds This is utterly appalling mistreatment of a Member and I most demand urgent resolve They lied and this never occurred and they refuse to honor this promise Please further be advised that as of 2 43pm today Thursday February 2 2023 I have been advised from the bank this check was drawn on Citizen s Bank and the check writer my father that these funds have cleared the external bank As such this matter merits urgent and immediate resolve at this level Be further advised that on several calls today recorded and logged with your staff I was advised that if I email a screenshot of the funds which have already cleared my father s bank account as verified by Citizen s Bank these funds would be released immediately The Credit Union must be held accountable for the constant misrepresentations of facts and gross negligence exhibited in these calls and I must demand urgent action and release of these funds You may further refer to the grievance filed with the California Department of Financial Protection Innovation as a result of the gross misinformation provided me and the arbitrary hold of my funds even with proof of clearance of the external bank account meriting immediate release of these funds and final resolution This matter remains extremely time-emergent and I request urgent contact to resolve this matter favorably and immediately

HORRIBLE EXPERIENCE
I had 1200 taken from my account on 6 21 A joint check was deposited about a day before I called on 6 22 they explained and told me a copy check was issued and sent to me within 5 business days Confirmed my shipping address 5 business days pass by nothing called on 6 30 they told me there is a delay in the USPS mail and it could be 7-10 business days confirmed my address again 10 business days pass by NOTHING called again on 7 6 got the call escalated to Irene I asked for the check to be sent to a branch near me I expressed my frustration to Irene she did not care finally gave me an extension and told me to call on Thursday 7 8 so we can 3-way call the bank because it should be there on Friday 7 9 Called no answer left VM no callback Called their CS line the guy told me the notes said I need to wait until Monday 7 12 and that it should be there no later than that Monday no call from the branch as I m desperately waiting Called today Tuesday 7 13 to find out the branch has the check since Saturday and called me that day no they did not Why would I not answer or call back as I m waiting for this 1200 check The lady I spoke to did not care as she was just the messenger So extremely upset over this situation This company could care less

The Golden 1 Hustle
Golden 1 credit union duped the minority small businesses again I felt funny not given a option from plaid So they used plaid which has our passwords and log in information stored also they use google analytics ios tracking etc Then have the nerve to site banking regulation which they do not follow themselves and big scary words like patriot act All this just to freeze your account in hopes of some of there illegal needs are met Look at the contract on your final loans docs If they needed more info and work with the sba Why not just go to the sba or the lender Nope they want us to do it cause they know we were left in the dark Of course this is planed Im either a smart fool or a dumb genius Just watch how this unfolds All you have to do is follow the money I had a ein bank statments websites etc etc So instead if my buisness isn t verifiable I was like they are so crooked Their final letter said all this was cause I got the loan in my personal account Discrimination theft misleading information fake complaint numbers harassment Just as crooked as any other big financial institution They can t do this and not get exposed Even on the final contract It says clear as day This is a legally binding contract and anybody that manipulates or trys to change it or cause someone to default will be liable Shot golden 1 acted like they never heard of prestamos I know on the contract it said them and the sba verified the golden 1 account and gave them all document needed and should come from the lender or the SBA not the borrower golden 1 put a regulation D on my account for months Then took a cash withdrawal not ach transfer or wire but strait cash and ain t heard from them since What s in the dark will come to light But this is what they do cause we let them I can t wait until all these FOIA reports come back

Disappointed
Disappointed - Shaw 41n Fresno Branch Opened acct 3 weeks later accessed it w my card just to get a balance it gave me 20 which made me not have enough to pay my rent Waited til Monday to deposit it back into my account report the issue in which they shrugged it off A couple days later I received a letter not only was I overdrawn but I also owed a fee for being overdrawn I went down to the branch they explained that someone deposited a check into my account when the bank realized it was erroneously deposited into the wrong account they and the bank that issued the check requested it be extracted from my account So in essence it was extracted twice making my account go negative They stated they would correct it but I would need to pay the fee first I told them your CRAZY this whole thing was the banks error and went back forth w her on the issue Finally they said they would take care of that as well After everything was complete I went to the teller to close my account out I reported it they contacted me in regards to what happened stated That would not happen at our bigger branch No apology just they wanted me stay with them bank at the main bigger branch I told them there crazy both banks are related I will NEVER bank here I will be warning others In a little over 3-weeks not only did they turn my life upside down but they were reluctant to fix the issue and wanted me to pay fees on their errors I d give 0 stars but your not allowed in here to do less than 1 CRAZY experience DONT bank here YOU VE BEEN WARNED

Golden 1 is ridiculous and so am I for
Golden 1 is ridiculous and so am I for wanting to stay with them Anyway I already have a checking and savings account I tried to open up another checking account I was denied and told I was in the checks system lies I tried to open up a savings account and was told I closed out another account with a negative balance on August 10th lies So in order to clear this all up I have to go to the branch INCONVENIENCE Really I ve been getting direct deposit there for over 15 years from one of my employers soooo if I owed anything it would show up in my active account The reps couldn t answer that why go to the branch when I m always told they have to call Sacramento or I have to call for complicated issues When I had fraud the branch told me I had to call Sacramento The branch has the same incompetent staffs that told me I could not add beneficiaries at the branch I had to go online When I asked the reps in Sacramento I was told I should ve been able to do it in the branch Good thing I have several accounts elsewhere this last incident confirmed my real savings needs to go to my other banks and credit unions for safeguarding Thanks for making it clear G1

I have a checking account and a loan with Golden1 The loan is set up for auto payment from my checking account The first payment was scheduled for August but they took the money for the loan in July and when they did that it caused an over draft fee Anything a bank can do to rip you off they will do it just like your government
