Dear Mr [redacted] , Thank you for this opportunity to communicate with you regarding a recent complaint.? I have researched your complaint and have included information below relative to the complaint you submitted.? You noted in your concern that your payments were being deposited into your Share Savings account.? All financial institutions receiving and sending ACH transactions must abide by the rules set forth by the National ACH Clearing House Association (NACHA).? These transactions are coded with specific codes, and per NACHA rules, we are not allowed to alter the distribution of these funds per the codes set forth in the files we receive.? For instance, in your case, the ACH was coded to be deposited into a savings account, and as such, we were required to deposit these funds into a savings account.? You also note that you were unaware that you had a Share Savings account with the credit union.? As part of your Membership with the credit union, you are required to maintain minimum shares as required by the Credit Union bylaws.? This requirement is fulfilled by maintaining $in a Share Savings account (which minimum balance requirement was changed to $on February 25, 2015).? When you completed your Indirect loan in November 2014, you would have received in the mail a copy of the Membership and Account Agreement with a letter welcoming you to the credit union.? Unfortunately in your case, your address was not provided correctly to us by the dealership where you completed your loan, which caused a delay in receiving these notices.? When you contacted us on 3/31/and noted that your initial payment had been received into the savings account, instead of the loan, this was due to the coding of the ACH transfer submitted from your financial institution to America First.? At that point, a representative from America First Credit Union was able to transfer and apply these funds to your loan, and also back-date the effective date of the transaction to 3/10/2015, which was the date the ACH was received in the savings account.? One week later, our insurance department also advanced your loan due date from 2/18/to 4/18/because of the collateral insurance premium.? You were reported to the credit bureaus as days delinquent for March 2015.? However, because the insurance department advanced your due date after the point when your day delinquency had been completed to the credit bureaus, they did not realize they needed to make this additional correction.? I have requested this to be completed through our Research Department.? This can take up to two weeks for each credit bureau to make this correction.? You also noted that we reported you late for May 2015.? After the almost all of your collateral insurance premium was refunded, your due date was 4/18/2015, as I mentioned above.? You did not make a payment to your loan in April; you also did not make a payment in May 2015, which caused you to be reported as days delinquent on this loan.? The next payment was received on 6/19/for $***? In summary, we have taken the necessary steps to remove the 30-day late delinquency for March 2015.? The May 30-day delinquency is accurate.? ? If you have further questions in this regard, please let me know.? Thank you! Sincerely, Tammy G [redacted]

Dear [redacted] ***, Thank you for this opportunity to communicate with you regarding a recent complaintI have researched your complaint and have included information below relative to the complaint you submitted.? You are correct in that America First Credit Union contacted you on the morning of 6/25/at 9:AM, leaving you a message stating that there was a charge $that was pending.? We fortunately were able to stop this charge, due to the fraud monitoring that we have in place through our Visa card systems.? Unfortunately, a different fraudulent charge was initiated on Monday, 6/27/in the amount of $3,that utilized your routing and account number.? Fortunately, on Wednesday we were able to rebate the $fee that occurred as a result of this transaction, as well as get the $3,provisionally credited to your account.? We have notified PayPal of the unauthorized charge and anticipate no further issues with this transaction.? ? You also noted in your complaint the lack of assistance you were offered from America First representatives relative to the resolution of this fraudulent charge.? After listening to the calls, the communication between our representatives and both you and your wife was inadequate.? I understand your frustration in feeling like you were told one thing, and then seeing another thing happen.? Please understand that we did everything possible to stop the fraudulent charges over the weekend via your Visa card, but were not even aware of the ACH transaction that came through until Monday morning.? There are always opportunities to improve, and I have shared some insights with our teams internally to ensure we do not repeat this same experience for another Member.? I sincerely apologize for the missed opportunity to provide for you an enjoyable experience with America First Credit Union.? We value your Membership and look forward to serving you again soon.? ? If you have further questions in this regard, please let me knowThank you! Sincerely, Tammy G [redacted] Tell us why here

Dear ***, Thank you so much for this opportunity to respond to your complaint You stated in your complaint that the America First Heber Branch location discussed personal information regarding your account with [redacted] *** On February 3, at 12:PM, the courts established *** [redacted] as the personal representative for the estate of [redacted] (deceased) ***/ [redacted] did visit the America First Credit Union Heber Branch on February 6, 2017, and provided the death certificate, statement from the Third Judicial District Court, Salt Lake County, Utah establishing himself as the personal representative of [redacted] ’ estate, as well as a monthly America First Credit Union account statement for [redacted] ’ primary account ( [redacted] Riddle, Joint Owner) which [redacted] stated he picked up at [redacted] ’ home [redacted] also visited the Heber Branch on subsequent occasions to discuss his options in the resolution of the debts incurred by [redacted] with America First Credit Union As a personal representative, generally speaking, this designation allows him to have all powers necessary to administer the estate, including the power to sell assets When we learned of [redacted] ’ death, America First Credit Union’s primary focus was to ensure that steps were taken to prevent financial loss No additional information outside of the coordination of the estate of [redacted] was shared with ***, nor any other member of [redacted] ’ family His access to the account statement was out of our control, as he obtained this statement from [redacted] ’ home You mentioned on a phone call with Lisette Thurgood, that [redacted] ’ sister made a deposit and was given balance information Although you didn’t remember a specific date, we reviewed a transaction that occurred on January 17, We have spoken with the teller who completed the transaction in the drive-thru, and verified that no account information was provided during this transaction We also reviewed a copy of the transaction receipt, and the balance was redacted We have thoroughly investigated your claim and have not found any inquiries or records of interactions that would indicate that personal information was shared outside of what was dictated in the establishment of the personal representative If you have additional information or proof that would indicate otherwise, please contact us at your earliest convenience so that we can investigate further Sincerely, Tammy G [redacted]
