617.0. "Request from Chuck" by PLOUGH::KINZELMAN (Two Terms, 1 in office, 1 in jail) Thu Oct 22 1992 11:26

I'm on the road and so don't have my DCU notebook with me, so could
the person who asked about their kid's account balances not figuring
into their "overall" balance, please call Chuck via Lisa at
223-6735x221. Chuck left me a message that he  would like to talk to
you and I don't have your name with me. When you read this, mail to
the moderator and he can delete this note. Thanks!

    	Why the "covert" dealings on this?  If there is a policy
    	clarification, or if there is some way to benefit from the
    	balance totals in family member accounts, we'd all like to
    	know about it!
617.2Nothing covertESBLAB::KINZELMANTwo Terms, 1 in office, 1 in jailWed Nov 18 1992 09:282
No covert dealings, in fact I've not heard about the result. You're right,
there should be a clear policy on this.
617.3Nothing Covert, just out of notes for awhile!HEAT::BOLDThat is a definite maybeSun Nov 22 1992 00:3344
    No overt dealings, just someone that has been away from notes for
    awhile.

    Here is what happened when I called Chuck's line as requested in the
    base note.  Unfortunately, I did not take down any names but everyone
    that I talked to was both friendly and quite helpful.

    I never talked to Chuck, but did talk to an administrative person and
    explained my problem, which was that DCU had decided to charge me a fee
    for a credit card, which is something I refused to do and cancel my
    card.  And then I subsequently found out that if you had over 6k in all 
    your accounts that the fee would be waived, which when including my kids 
    accounts I meet the criteria for a no fee VISA.

    The person I talked to on the phone took all the information down, and
    indicted that she would get back to me very shortly.  Within a day someone
    else got back to me with the information. When DCU looks at a
    account and all their subaccounts they do a match on not only the
    account number, but the address as well.  It seems my son's address was
    not the same as mine, therefore, his savings did not go toward the 6k
    number.  I don't know how is address got messed up, but they corrected 
    the address and ask if I wanted a new card.  I
    indicated that I would be glad to get a new card, but if they ever try
    charge me a fee again, that I will cut it up and send it back, because I
    already have both a VISA and a MC from other institution that have a
    guarantee of no-fee for life.  I want to suppor the DCU, but I also
    want the best deal I can fine.  

    So all in all, I am very please with the service from the DCU on this
    matter, and I apologize for not detailing this sooner.

    Now, the second task is for the DCU to streamline their loan
    applications.  Why do I or anyone who has had loans with the DCU in the
    past and have not had any problems, have to fill out a complete loan
    application every time.  My bank has figured out how to do it, as well
    as the finascinal company I got my last car loan from.  They asked a few 
    question, ask me to sign a loan form swearing that the information I gave 
    them was true, and then gave me the loan.  They have figured out that by 
    using credit reports and a few verifying pieces of information, to grade 
    the credit worthiness of someone.  DCU needs something like this!


    PS, Paul, thanks for looking into the VISA issue.  I appreciate the
    support
