Product: Checking or savings account — CD (Certificate of Deposit)
Issue: Closing an account — Fees charged for closing account
Company: First Technology Federal Credit Union
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
I have a 60-month CD ( Certificate of Deposit ) with First Tech Federal Credit Union XXXX I never agreed to roll over the CD once it matured, and did not receive a notice of " new terms '' that they claim they sent, but they rolled over my CD without my consent. They also refuse to provide the original contract, as requested, and deny the terms explicitly noted in an earlier correspondence with a First Tech rep. As a result, when I request to move my money to my savings, they want to impose a steep penalty. 

I have reached out to them multiple times, including going to the XXXX XXXX branch in person, but they don't have good intentions to honor their own terms of the original CD. The person I communicated with is XXXX XXXX, the Assistant Branch Manager, and the issue remains unsolved. I'm submitting the complaint so that you are aware of their practices and can push the Credit Union to do the right thing. 

Thank you!
