We found out the following year, when we were told we had to amend our previous year taxes in order to file our current year. I immediately contacted them thinking they would know what to do. I had to make an appointment to see our CPA, after presenting the situation he said "What do you want me to do?" Needless to say we had to fill out our own paperwork to fix the problem. I was happy to find out we only owed $150 in interest/ penalties. The secretary is very helpful and friendly, and they're great at taking your money. God help you if they make any errors, or you get audited.

I've been banking here for just under two years and, until today, I had been very happy with my…read moreexperience. That changed when I came in to open a Rocky Raccoon savings account for my son. We arrived with all the required documents and were genuinely excited about what should have been a positive milestone. Unfortunately, we were told that opening the account would take 25 minutes and, since we arrived 15 minutes before closing, we would need to come back another day. This was extremely frustrating, especially because the day before I had been told that all we needed to do was bring the necessary documents and the account could be opened as a walk-in. We left disappointed--especially my six-year-old son, who couldn't understand why we couldn't be helped when the branch was still open and customers were continuing to come and go. That situation irritated me beyond belief as I watched his excitement be replaced with sadness. Because of this, I turned back and approached the same teller to ask whether there was enough time--about 10 minutes at this point--to close both my business and personal accounts. At that point, the branch manager quickly intervened and stated that they "actually" did have time to open my son's account. Unfortunately, by then the damage had already been done. I was left feeling that my business was viewed as a hassle rather than a priority. What's most disappointing is that had there initially been even a good-faith effort to begin the paperwork, I wouldn't have felt so clearly dismissed. It's sad that there wasn't time to open a new account and accept our money, yet in a matter of minutes they lost thousands when I closed both my business and personal accounts. The takeaway is simple: treat your patrons as a priority, or you risk losing them altogether. This is especially unfortunate because I truly believed Valley Strong was better than this and genuinely focused on member satisfaction.

She texted me fairly promptly, we set up a meeting time. She then suggested that I go another route, which i explained that I had already researched and I had gotten legal advice to support what i was looking to do. Her demeanor then became hostile and demanding which lawyer i had spoke to, stated that i must have a "real issue" if the specific lawyer refused to work with me (fyi not the case, i just was looking to save a little money and use a paralegal to type the forms) then she cancelled our appointment about an hour and a half prior. I thought maybe she had me confused for someone else, but no, she is just not a professional person. Don't make assumptions about people you do not know, and no one needs additude.
