My experience with Align Credit Union is a cautionary tale for anyone considering opening an…read moreaccount with them. My husband and I opened an account with them approximately 10 years ago. The first reason was because it was very close to his place of business. Other reasons were because we wanted to have an emergency fund to fall back on and to possibly use it as a vacation fund for a trip to Australia. For the past 10 years my husband used it a few times, for miscellaneous purchases, nothing extravagant, so the money sat there earning VERY LITTLE dividends. All the while, as banks and credit unions do, they were using our money to lend to other people for cars, boats, sometimes probably life saving medical procedures or medications at VERY BIG interest rates. Keeping in mind that Credit Unions are owned by the members they're supposed to serve, our experience during the one time we intended to make a significant purchase, we were confident we'd have no problems with said purchase. We were very wrong. We hired a company to build a storage building in our back yard. We were quoted a price and and were instructed to obtain a permit and as soon as we had that, the job would be scheduled approximately 3 weeks later, and would take 1 day to build. There was no contract, only an order form describing what was ordered, which was sent to us through the mail. The project was supposed to be completed by the end of summer 2025. We applied for a permit and learned it couldn't be approved without site specific plans for our yard and building. We asked the builder to send those plans, and we were told it would be $300. Not an expected expense, but we paid it. Permitting received a PDF of every building the company built, which was not site specific to our project. When we asked for site specific, we were told it would be another $450. If we wanted it expedited, it would be another $250. The expedited time frame was 4 weeks, non expedited was 4 to 6 weeks. We chose to wait the 4 to 6 weeks, considering the difference was negligible. After 6 weeks, when we called to see if the plans were on their way. The representative said she told us it would be 6 to 8 week, not 4 to 6 we "thought" we heard, but of course if we paid the expedited fee, it would be sooner. She was lying of course, but bless her little thieving heart, we waited 2 more weeks for the 8 week time frame. At that time she told us it would be another 3 to 5 weeks, unless we wanted to pay the expedited fee. We had wondered if we were being scammed, but by November, when the promise was that it would be done by August, we knew for sure this company was nothing but a shill, getting every dollar they could before cutting ties with the purchaser. Now, I was fully aware that there are time limits to requesting help recovering money paid using Align credit or debit cards; however, I read the circumstances for extensions of time under the credit union rules, and I was reasonably sure that a building project, because of the time building takes, would qualify for an extension. I wrote to Align Credit Union explaining the circumstances, sending the request for an investigation directly to the President and CEO, Ms. Lydia Vazquez, with whom I was never allowed to speak, nor do I believe her minions ever told her about the letter, and minutes after receiving the request, a woman to whom I had not written, nor had I been introduced or told her authority within the bank, told me there wasn't a thing she could do to help us. Keep in mind, Credit Union Members are Owners. I know Align is not like Bank of America, with thousands of employees and banks across the country and at least some facade about being helpful, but Align Credit Union Headquarters are in Lowell for God's sake. Yet they couldn't even give me a legitimate reason for not offering the most miniscule bit of help to a member/owner. As far as I'm concerned, they are absolutely no better than the company who scammed us, nor are they better than any other scammer across this country. One last bit of icing on their scam cake, when my husband went in to close out our account, they said they couldn't give him all of it because they didn't have enough. He could only have $7,500. He said he be back next week for the rest. No, again. He'd have to tell them how much he wanted and when he'd be in. He told them he wanted $10,000 and when he'd be in. He had to go in 4 unnecessary times to close 1 checking and 1 savings account. Can a Credit Union with so little money be trusted? And I believe Member/Owners who still trust this farce should consider demanding a full audit with guaranteed accurate results distributed to ALL Member/Owners. And in case I haven't been clear, do not expect meaningful help from ANY of these employees. You will neither be viewed as Members, Owners, or even as customers deserving of courtesy or service.

I went in person and they would not give me any information, which I somewhat understand; however, I am listed on their checking and savings account. I went back to my parents place and had my mom call the bank [their suggestion] with her credentials so that they could provide the account number for her IRA. They talked to my mom on the phone and got her credentials and then told her that she would have to come in person to get a print out of her account number. They would not release the account number over the phone. Are you kidding me? They were well aware of how immobile she is and still would NOT accommodate. Needless to say, due to their poor customer service, the IRA, and their 3 CD's will be rolled over to Fidelity! STAY AWAY!!!!

She kept telling me she knew the answer but wanted them to explain it to me? Does that make sense at all to anyone? She could have just said she didn't know the answer and I would have been ok but I had to sit there and listen to her go through the hoops to get someone on the phone.

Especially working at a bank, you need people who are personable and understanding, as there are many members with different issues they need help with. Also, the 1-800 phone customer service is awful. I wish it was easier to get through to someone without having to press a million buttons. Sadly, I will be switching credit unions. It's too bad cause the only positive is their interest rates are pretty good.
