Bad customer service- di d not notify me they had decrease my credit limit
Did not notify me they had decrease my credit limit a few days ago. Penfed reduced my credit limit without notifying me. As a result, an automatic payment from this account to an outside creditor was returned. This caused the payment to be late and resulted in a fee to me. Really shocked at how Incredibly sneaky and irresponsible. I called and there was not explanation for not having notified my at the time of the decision. Complete dismissive and just read some jargon that did not excused their negligence to notify me in a timely manner.

PenFed Credit Union is the best!
PenFed Credit Union is one of the best financial institutions I have ever dealt with. The telephone representative was very knowledgeable regarding products and interest rates.
This company is all wrong.
This company is all wrong. Pen Fed Credit Union is awful. They offered and approved me for a credit card with great credit and also a Veteran and they gave me the runaround. I am so mad because this has happened to me three times over three years. I wouldn’t be so mad about it, but it cost me credit score points and hard inquiries. If you only knew the whole story, you would really understand why I am so angry. I have closed all my accounts that I quit using some time ago. Navy Federal Credit is an excellent choice.
I highly recommend veterans avoid this…

I have three loan application notations…
I have three loan application notations on my home page that are weeks overdue in being removed. I did not accept any of these loan proposals. After patiently waiting for the loan notations to disappear, and I was previously told that they would disappear in ten (10) workdays, I called yesterday and they still appear on my homepage of my Pentagon Federal Credit Union account. Why? This should have been corrected immediately. I do not understand this poor service after 25 years of membership with the Pentagon Federal Credit Union.
