Tees Credit Union

Rubbish.Told me they would take repayments from child benefit money which was totally fine with me, they'd take the whole amount and put the spare into a saving account. Great.They then back tracked and evaluated my application on my overall income instead and rejected me.

Used these for years never missed a payment. Suddenly decided this year they couldn't offer me a loan. Happy to pay out when I was unemployed but now I am working iv been knocked back with no explanation

would like to talk a person hard use online try get some cash

I want open 4 accounts for four saving accounts I have over £20,000 plus to deposit, having second thoughts opening accounts for my 4 children due to these reviews. I think I will avoid using them as purpose to help others with my money

I've had my first loan today from Credit Union..2 ladies called Amy & Rachel were really helpful, explained everything to me, all very strait forward... I'm really pleased with how it's gone & the interest is spot on..Thank you Amy & rachel x

OK, I so much want to be positive here. I truly believe the idea of a local credit union that understands the needs of the community around it should be supported in any way possible.Although this place advertises itself as an alternative to loan sharks, claiming to offer loans at far lower interest rates. However, this is dependant on whether you are accepted or not.In my case, I used to own my own business. My shop would make several hundred pounds a day. That was until I had a stroke ten years ago.Now things are a lot different. I don't have to disposable income I once had. However, I have made sure I paid any debt in full, on time (usually earlier). Because of this I have a perfect 32 year payment history of credit.Combined with being a member for around 8 months, saving with them every month, I thought I'd be an ideal customer.When a family emergency occurred, we thought we'd apply for a loan. During the process, they got my date of birth wrong and then took two weeks to decide I wasn't eligible for the loan.Well, that's their decision, but what it does show is that no matter how well you've maintained repayments over the years, and no matter what you've been through in the process, you still can't rely on them to help you out in an emergency.It also really doesn't help when the lady dealing with your complaint admits they made a mistake but can't do anything about it now.I guess the only people you can rely on are the doorstep lenders.

How you meant to get money out if no one picks the phone up plus I was told if thay had to close staff would work from home so people could still get money ?
