Complaint Policy
Federal Credit Union Complaints 

Laws that NCUA Enforces: 

If you have a complaint regarding the regulation of your Federal Credit
Union, you may file a formal complaint by sending us a letter - no special form is required - to the NCUA regional office for your state listed below. 

Before you contact us, please contact the credit union to attempt to correct the problem. You can do this over the phone, in person or in writing. If you believe the credit union's staff is unresponsive to your inquiry or complaint, address your concerns in writing to the president or chief executive officer of the credit union or the credit unions supervisory committee. 

Your Letter, Fax, or E-mail should Identify: 

§  The full name and address of the credit union

§  A clear explanation of your problem

§  A brief description of what action you want the credit union to take to resolve the problem

§ Legible photocopies of supporting documentation (if you have it) Do not send us your original statements orother documents.
§ A copy of any written correspondence you have already had with the federal credit union regarding the issue at hand and any 

reply that you received
Be sure to include your name and postal address in the letter, fax or email. 

Once NCUA receives your written complaint: 

                        

- We will acknowledge its receipt 

- log it into our records 

- a sk the credit unionʼs supervisory committees to conduct an investigation. 

- W e ask the supervisory committee to reply directly to you, or delegate staff to reply, and send a copy to us. 

How long does it take? 

The process generally takes from two to six weeks. Depending on
the credit union's response or the type of complaint, we may take additional steps or use a different approach. If we do, we will notify you in writing. 

Please note: 

NCUA cannot represent consumers in settling claims or recovering damages. However, if your complaint brings a violation to our attention, we
will take steps to ensure the federal credit union complies with applicable laws and regulations. 

As a regulator, NCUA does not own, operate or control credit unions,
nor do we establish their operating policies and procedures. We do not
have the authority to overturn individual lending decisions made by credit unions. We also cannot dictate the range of services they offer. NCUA cannot offer legal or accounting assistance. 

Complaints caused by error or misunderstanding are often resolved voluntarily by the credit union. However, many complaints stem from
factual or contractual disputes between the federal credit union
and the member. If you and thecredit union are unable to reach a mutually agreeable settlement in such a situation, only a court of law can impose a remedy and award damages. We recommend you consult an attorney for guidance if you want to consider pursuing a legal remedy.
