I will never do business with Diamond Credit Union ever, and I will recommend my friends, family, and clients to never use this organization. My problems began when I first opened up my loan. I wanted to use auto-bill pay with diamond, and they gave me an "ACH" form to fill out and fax to them. I filled it out immediately after receiving my loan. The first time, they said they never received it. I understand faxing can be a less than perfect way to send a form, so I offered to e-mail it. The rep told me they would only accept faxes. Her tone was negative and abruptly demeaning. Sometimes people have bad days, right? So I offered to fax it over a second time. This time I asked for the rep to call me to confirm it had made it over. I never received a follow up call. I then, called a few days later and asked for a manager, but the rep told me to fax it over and she would wait on the phone until it came over. Finally, Diamond received my ACH form and my payments would supposedly be taken out of my check account I have with another bank. A month later I received a letter from diamond saying they had not received payment. I called to find out what happened. Apparently there was an issue with the funds crediting diamond to pay my account, so I called and left a message to find out if I gave the correct account and routing number (which I found out was correct from my own bank). I did not receive a call back for the second time from diamond. So my frustration with their lack of customer service was increasing. I began to make my payments with a check sent in through USPS mail which is an inconvenience.
About two months later I received a call from my insurance company saying I owed a $15 processing fee and they had to cancel my insurance (which is a whole other issue), so I called to get it reinstated. By this time Diamond had found out that my motorcycle insurance had been canceled and they sent me a letter saying I would have to pay 2100 for the whole year for supplementary insurance. By this time, I had figured I would have to pay about $175 a month for insurance. The Diamond rep also called me and stated that I would pay 2100 a year for their insurance. This did not bother me a whole lot because I figured I would have to pay for two months of Diamonds insurance which by the way was the conversation I had with the diamond rep because I asked if it would be about 175 a month for their insurance. I did, in fact, get my insurance re-instated with my current carrier. So, for two months, I had Diamond's insurance that they SAID would be about 175 a month. The next letter I got from diamond almost gave me a heart attack. They said because I had their insurance for two months, it would cost me over $900. $900 for two months of insurance on a 12,000 motorcycle?? No one from Diamond told me about this, or that this would happen. Not only that, I asked how I could get the 900 fee waived and they told me to call my insurance carrier and have it "backdated" (which is illegal by the way). I told them, if I knew you were going to charge me 900 for two months of insurance, I would have taken care of this immediately, but of course, the conversation I had with the rep was aprox. 175 / month. I also asked how they got to the 900 number and there apparently is no rhyme or reason, and they said it's for "fees". I personally think they led me to believe the insurance was 175 a month on purpose, so they could charge me the full 900. Their customer service is lackluster. They don't return phone calls promptly. They are very ambiguous with explanations for their own benefit. They tell you to do illegal things in order to solve problems. They will not work with you to the correct the situation. They have no one over there that seems to know how their own insurance will be billed and give you no warning about the actual cost per month, and they don't seem to care about customer retention. I strongly caution anyone thinking about using this organization to choose an alternative, or relieve your current relationship with Diamond. read more
