Complaint:
This is in regards to both my Auto Loan and Consumer Loan with NFCU. Over the last two months I noticed the breakdown of my per Diem and the amount going to principal/interest based on the number of days in the billing cycle was wrong.I was being over charged interest despite the calculation of the per Diem x number of days since last payment. I called over two weeks ago and was told our account would be audited. ( The reason their representative recommended an audit was because she too said we were being charged more and she did n't know why. ) After a week of no response, I called back only to be told by a manager an audit was never sent but a " Financial Hardship '' request was. ( I am paid a month ahead on both my loans so I do n't understand why this was even a thought. ) She said the request was re-entered, sent " urgent '' and two business days we 'd hear back. It 's been almost three weeks and still no call. They have failed to provide the per Diem and P/I interest breakdown since the start of the loan which we have requested. We were also told that between the initial complaint and last it was corrected however, we never received information regarding the correction or any credit to our bank account or principal balance of the loan. ( We do n't even know how long it had been going on because again, NFCU has continually failed to provide the information requested. I was also told I would be able to pay towards the principal of the loan eventually paying it off early however, now I am told they do not offer that option. They only allow me to pay the balance in full or pay ahead. If I continue to pay " ahead '' as instructed that serves me no good as they will still collect on daily interest until the payment is finally made. I have continually been given false or inaccurate information since I took out these loans. When I have asked for statements from the beginning of the loan with the breakdown of the per Diem, the number of days in that period and how much went to principle and interest, they send me a transaction history which is the same information provided online. ( The date and amount of the payment made ) I have also been told to keep calling back if I do n't hear a response within the provided time frame. This is not my responsibility. It is their responsibility to follow on with their " audit '' as their representative explained and call me or provide me something with the findings along with what I have asked. " Adjusting/Correcting '' the account without following up or giving me the credits for overcharging is fraud. I no longer have the examples of what was off because it is now " lost '' due to the initial filing never being completed or completed accurately. This is absolutely inexcusable especially when I have never been late on any of my loans, in fact they are paid a month ahead and my credit card has a zero balance. This needs to be looked into immediately and my loan needs to be evaluated from day one for corrections and fraud.
