208.0. "POOR SERVICE in this instance !" by LLOYDJ::OSTIGUY (Ice it !) Fri Feb 16 1990 14:26

I went to the PK DCU building and questioned a $ 75.00 withdrawal on 
my
account and they said they would mail me a copy of the transaction and

of course I received nothing. My last statement which came in about

3/4 weeks later showed a CREDIT for "incorrect withdrawal" for 

$ 75.00. Now all is well that ends well but you would think that

they would mail me a copy as promised or at least telephone me and

tell me that they did indeed find an error.

Has this lack of contact around questionable transaction happened

to anyone else - to me that is poor SERVICE.

208.1It happened to me at BAYBANKSRGB::SEILERLarry SeilerWed Feb 21 1990 17:4319
A similar thing happened to me on my BAYBANKS credit card.
After it was resolved, I read the fine print on the credit 
agreement, and discovered that if I challenge a charge, they are
required to *either* justify it *or* remove the charge, not both.

So while I agree that it would have been much better policy
for the DCU to have sent an apology form letter when they discovered
their error, I doubt that they actually actually violated any rules, 
and they aren't the only bank that acts that way.

If these notes are really read by someone in the DCU, how about this
for a new policy:  when a customer questions a transaction, always
send some sort of acknowledgement, either defending the transaction
or noting the adjustment.  Extended periods of not knowing what's
going on can be very frustrating.  I was so frustrated with BAYBANKS
that I bailed out entirely, whereas just a bit more communication
might have kept me as a customer.
