Central Credit Union of Illinois in Bellwood, IL

Muy Buena atencion

It was discovered that 25 years ago there was an unpaid balance on central credit union visa. It should have been dispersed though a bankruptcy. As I'm opening a new account, the credit union tells me its ok, they wont touch your account. Lies! next thing you know my account is frozen and the collections department have gone for the day. Made arrangements to pay $25 per pay period with Joanie. She collected four payments from my account, and then stopped. it was almost a year, then $25 was collected unexpectedly! I don't have a problem with paying what's owed. I do have a problem with taking money from my account without my knowledge!! there needs to be a set schedule and stick to it NO surprises!

Just awful. First up, my wife and I were pretty shocked that we both got TWO HARD CREDIT INQUIRIES just to open an account here, so if you're trying to maintain a solid credit score and stay on top of your FICO score, think long and hard about this. Beyond that, we found the staff to be mostly pleasant, outside of management who were unhelpful when dealing with requests to downright hostile. We never dealt with any fees or overdraft charges or anything, so we can't speak to that, however we were told in the end that we were depositing too many checks and they didn't have the staff to handle the few checks we'd bring in a week from my wife's side business. The office is VERY dated looking and somewhat rundown and on a relatively barren section of 1st Ave across from a liquor store. Overall, we'd never recommend going here with your business. Management is intrusive and hostile, the staff is pleasant enough but seem bored, the place seems rundown, they will hassle you for doing anything outside of direct depositing one or two paychecks a month (despite there being no set limits in any documentation, admitted by the management, making it up to their discretion) there are many better options locally, and they slapped TWO HARD CREDIT PULLS on our credit reports to open a checking account, which to me is unbelievable and unacceptable. Avoid
