I went to Valley First on J Street 6 months ago to access my safe deposit box. After many attempts, the keys did not work. I was told that the manager was the only one who could help me and that she would call me the next day, even though it was early in the day. There was no urgency on their part and no apparent backup for this critical function. I had been through this before when a box that had been brought in did not function and needed to be drilled. Service has never seemed a priority here, but for a problem with a safe deposit box, Valley First clearly assigns no priority to customers.
Of course, I did not hear back and worked around not having access. After 6 months, I called and asked to speak to the manager. She was out again and would maybe call me back in a day. When offered to leave a message for her, I suggested leaving the message for whoever she reports to in hopes that they may be able to help. Three days later and counting, no one at Valley First Credit Union found this problem important enough to give it attention...no access to a safe deposit box.
This is not the right place to trust on any level. read more
