History
Hello, I’ve been a member for over 55 years when it was Telephone Employee’s credit union. The service has been horrible for a while now. Today at the Signal Hill branch, I went in to dispute a claim and they said I had to come in and get a new card. I checked in today, I was told they would give me a new card while I waited. I mentioned that the card machine has been broken there for a while (months) .I know because it took a few weeks for my daughter to get her card, she had lost. While waiting, the girl who was helping me left for lunch. Meanwhile I along with another gentleman were waiting for a new card. He was told by your rep. that the machine was broken and if he wanted to go to Torrance. I asked him about my account; if they has frozen my card. He ignored me and kept talking to the other person. I walked out in frustration. I don’t plan to stay with WESCOM due to the abysmal service. In the meantime I am looking to see what is going to happen with my account and look for a new bank
