Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:The credit union is aware that I am working with an agency to rectify the financial issues with them. They are aware that I had several medical problems last summer( Cardiac arrest, and Renal failure) that caused me to become delinquent. I am in stage 4 Renal failure and am on Dialysis. If you cannot assist in correcting their behavior, someone will. Thank you for your assistance. I will continue to file complaints until someone listens.

Re:  Complaint Letter dated February 9, 2015    Firstmark Credit Union received notification on February 9, 2015, regarding a recent member complaint filed with the Revdex.com.  We welcome the opportunity to address our member’s concerns and thank you for...

bringing this complaint to our attention.  After researching the circumstances surrounding the complaint, it is our understanding the credit union’s response to the issues presented in the complaint letter have already been reviewed, addressed, and communicated to the member.   1)      The member questions why Firstmark Credit Union continues to hold auto title when the auto loan has been paid in full as of January 9, 2015?    Credit Union Response:  The credit union does not dispute the auto loan in question was paid in full on January 9, 2015.   However, the member has two additional loans with us, including a credit card loan and an overdraft loan, both of which, unfortunately, are currently in “unsatisfactory” status.  Until these loans are brought current, the credit union will not release the title due to the contractual obligation of the member explained below: As is typical for the credit union industry, we require what is known as cross collateralization across multiple loan products, as it protects the credit union from unnecessary losses. This information is shared with and agreed to by the member at the time of signing through a “cross collateral” clause within the loan documentation, which reads as follows:   “By signing below you agree to be bound by the terms of the Agreement.  You also agree to the following cross collateral clause:  The Security interest secures the Loan and any extensions, renewals, or refinancing of the loan.  It also secures any other loans, including any credit card loan; you have now or receive in the future, except any loan secured by your principal residence.”          2)      The member states that a Firstmark Credit Union employee “said that she is holding [title] because I am behind on a payment on my overdraft account of $50.00.”    Credit Union’s Response:  The employee in question shared that the member’s overdraft and credit card account remain in an “unsatisfactory” status due to the following delinquencies:   §  As of today, the overdraft loan has been delinquent since July 1, 2014. Total of $354.66 with a per diem of $.09 per day.  §  As of today, the credit card loan is $221.00 over 122 days delinquent and $244.25 over the available credit line limit of $2,000, bringing the total amount due to the credit union to $445.25. 3)      The member further claimed that our employee “arrogantly told me to file all the complaints I wanted to because she would hold the title on my car until she felt like releasing it.”   Credit Union’s Response:  The credit union has the capability to listen to all recorded calls with members, two of which were identified to be with this member this year.  In neither conversation was the member’s claim substantiated. Furthermore, neither call involved the employee she names in her complaint, but rather were held with two entirely different representatives.    4)      The member states her desired settlement would be to gain the title to her car as “[the] loan is paid off and this credit union is bullying me unethically.”    Credit Union’s Response:   Although we are more than happy to do everything feasible to resolve this member’s complaint, including working with her on her outstanding balances, we also carry an obligation to safeguard the financial health of all of our members through sound lending practices.   As we do for any member in this identical situation, it is the credit union’s practice to adhere to our legal obligations to release the title or any collateral securing consumer loans. Thus, once the member brings both her overdraft and credit card loans current, we will not hesitate to release the title immediately.  At Firstmark Credit Union, we strive to preserve a relationship of trust and confidence with our members and desire above all to improve their financial well-being.  Once again, thank you for bringing this issue to our attention as we appreciate the opportunity to respond to any concerns our members may have.
