I am writing to formally express my dissatisfaction with the handling of my credit card account. Past due balance letters were sent out however without prior notice, my account was revoked and permanently closed, which I discovered only after attempting to use the card. This was done despite my communication with SECU credit card services, where I informed you that I was medically incapacitated and therefore unable to make full payments at the time.Despite this, I still made partial payments to avoid default, none of which were rejected. I also made a $900 lump-sum payment to bring my account current. After doing so, I was informed that my account had been permanently closed and that the full balance was now due.I find it unacceptable that I am being asked to make payments on an account I can no longer use. I kindly request that this matter be reconsidered and that a fair resolution be reached.Thank you for your attention to this matter.Business response

Hello to whom may it concern On Monday 9/2/2024 I awaken to check my account and realized that my account had been hacked. When I noticed it, right away I called the NCSECU 800 number and made a complaint. I did not receive an alert. My account was hacked for ******, 4.95 on the 30th by ******************* and again for 2000.oo on the same day. The first representative did not ask any important questions regarding my account. She said I had to wait until it posted, so I did. Wednesday 9/4/2024 afternoon I called to find out what was the status of my complaint and I was told I had to wait. I called again on Thursday and I spoke with a different representative to see what else I had to do and she told me I have to wait ten days, at this time I'm getting a little upset because I feel like they giving me the running around. Friday 9/6/2024 I spoke with another representative and she finally asked me my security questions and and other questions, I think her for asking and let her know she was only one since I started calling on 9/2/2024 to ask them. I her if she could let me speak to a manager and she said I will have the manager call you back and she did. I shared with the manager that the representative that I spoke with was the only one that told me that I would have to wait for ten business days to get it disputed. I asked why didn't someone tell me this at the beginning l am very upset. All I want is them to replace my funds because I am having a financial hardship my bills are due. Can someone please reach out to me, I would greatly appreciated.Business response

I was charged insufficient fees by a charge that was done in error. I was very shocked that I was told by my credit union I have been with for years to call the company that made the error to tell then to pay me back. I did exactly that and they said why should they have to a pay a fee they didn't charge.Business response

I am submitting this compliant as advised by the SEC director of the Atlanta office before submitting a complaint directly with the SEC. After reviewing mortgage documents, I have reason to believe that misleading and deceptive practices were used to make me believe I was entering into a contact for a mortgage "loan" when in fact it appears to have been a trust agreement. I have requested now three separate times for information by a Qualified Written Request under RESPA which SECU has failed to provide. Initnally they told me that they were not going to accept my documents which they are required by law to provide. Once I submitted a complaint with the **** then did respond but said that my request was overly broad and again refused to provide the information. I sent another request, very simple requesting the **** accounting of the "loan" and they refused saying that it was confidential and proprietary information. I have invoked congressional interest in the matter to assist with **** who denied me putting in another claim stating it would be considered a "duplicate". ************************* is the trustee listed on the deed of TRUST who has failed to respond to any of my mailings. He has a fiduciary obligation as trustee to provide information in regards to the transaction. I hope that the BBB can assist in finding an equitable resolution to this matter.Business response
