I waited inline for them to tell me that they dont do shared banking. In other words, I couldnt not transfer my money from one to credit to the other. My other two credit unions have this option. I have other credit union accts, never ever a wait in 30yrs. So why did I endure this wasted 45min? I failed to ask if they provided the service I needed, so I will take the hit on this one, never assume anything....They have a excellent CD rate currently, so yes I will be coming back to do some business with them. Customer service was polite and professional, they get a 10 stars all day! Its not the staffs fault that have no staff.

So I just sent in over nine hundred dollar for nothing because I did not mail it. My reply was that the paper work did not state that the payment can not be paid on line. After a long conversation I was told to pay a certain amount. I asked after I make this payment will this clear up everything and I will not owe any thing else. I will be up to date. I was told ,yes you are up to date and owe nothing. Then I get a bill around a thousands dollar higher for the same thing and today they send me a another bill from 2010 for $1,537.10. I am told that I am cleared and up to date to receiving a bill. It is like they sat around thinking how to exploit more money and put a person in default to take away their home.

At 19, an age when many people are still trying to decide what to do with their lives, Jonathan Chandler was inspired to help people in the community. He followed his heart and entered the world of lending to assist clients with loans and homes purchases. Jonathan says, "The thing I enjoy most is helping others obtain their dreams of owning a home and making sure the process is easy as possible." While he helps all types of homebuyers, he specializes in assisting first-time homebuyers and veterans. Jonathan says, "Most people just want to buy a house; they don't necessarily want a mortgage. My job is to help coach and guide them throughout the process and make the process as smooth as possible. I tell clients upfront, 'I understand you're looking for a house. Here's what I can do to help. We're going to make the process as smooth as possible. We're going to close on time. And we're going to give you the best deal that we possibly can.' I'm going to be there for them from start to finish and treat them like family. Being there when they need something, whether it's 8 am or 8 pm on a weekday or on the weekend-- that's what I'm all about."
