irishman 10 Posted August 30, 2004 Report Share Posted August 30, 2004 Why do credit unions go for paystuibs? Second what do they do with them?? call the employer to verify your income or just file it away somewhere? let me know you guys. Hi Morrow! Link to post Share on other sites

chingasaholo 10 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 if you got your checks your card should follow shortly. I just got mine, I applied way after you though..wonder why you havent recieved your's yet? Mine is fairly worthless now, since I've already transferred the money to other accounts I shredded the checks josh Link to post Share on other sites
irishman 10 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 am I correct that PAtelco visa is a loan? meaning then that no matter what amount you use, you still pay as if you took the whole amount out?? Link to post Share on other sites
chingasaholo 10 Posted August 31, 2004 Report Share Posted August 31, 2004 I still havent exactly nailed it down. more like a line of credit that has alot of flexibility. I just transferred the whole lot to another bank account, I can massage the funds easier at my home bank. Patelco's online system isnt anything like BOFA's After I got the funds there I could distribute them to my accounts with BOFA instantaneously. Patelco transfer's take almost a week to get completed.josh Link to post Share on other sites

46langham 10 Posted September 2, 2004 Report Share Posted September 2, 2004 I applied for my cards on august 20. Patelco will not send cards until all information is send in. I also call every two days to see when the cards was to be sent out. lamar Link to post Share on other sites
irishman 10 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 cards are not sent out yet, but sdon;'t you have access to the money in the account for transferring?? Link to post Share on other sites
morrow 199 Posted September 3, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 cards are not sent out yet, but sdon;'t you have access to the money in the account for transferring??No, because I couldnt sign up for a savings account online, did it all through the mail....still waiting for that info too. I dont have an account # or anything, and to be honest Im getting pretty frustrated with thier customer service. Applied on the 6th. Havent heard anything from Patelco as far as my approval, savings account, credit card...anything. Ive had to call them and initiate the communication. Here is it, almost a month later and Im still without my savings account #, credit card, or even a measly email from them!They said my card was mailed last Thurs. If I dont get it tomorrow, you can bet that Im gunna piss on someone for it! (not really...cause that would be kinda gross ) *sigh* much better now. Link to post Share on other sites
rgates1 10 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Congratulations Morrow!....thats my next goal to get to the 10,000 plus credit limit club!rg Link to post Share on other sites
chingasaholo 10 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 customer service sucks, right along with their website. I'm really glad I didnt do things by mail Morrow, If you could get your account number and stuff maybe you could log onto your website and get some access to your funds there? If you do this you could have some funds in your account by a few days. That's what I did, I couldnt stand the wait and I needed the money. Just got a new Heat pump for my house installed with part of it. The rest going for remodeling and paying off about every bill I have in full.joshp.s. I've finally bought the big screen TV i've been drooling about for 2 years A treat to myself for a good job of credit fixing, of course a raise helped here too Link to post Share on other sites
Mack D 10 Posted September 3, 2004 Report Share Posted September 3, 2004 Morrow I don't understand why you are having such a hard problem. From the time I applied and was approved I had my card in less than two weeks. I set up my savings account on line and only had to fax them my paystub once. For me they have been great. Sorry to hear about all of your trouble with them.Mack Link to post Share on other sites

I'll keep it right next to the Amex blue I never use It's basically worthless to me now, since I've already sucked the money out of the account......but it does look cool!jl Link to post Share on other sites
morrow 199 Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 I GOT MY ACCOUNT NUMBER!!!!!!!!Then I went online and signed up for a checking and applied for an auto loan. I asked for $35k....Im not really looking to get a new car, but if the payment is the same or less (due to reduced rate) then it may be worth it! Plus they use the same inq...no loss.Will let you know what happens! Link to post Share on other sites
morrow 199 Posted September 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted September 10, 2004 Got approved....$25k. 4 years @ 5.2%5 years @ 6.2%7 years @ 7.2% Link to post Share on other sites
creditaware 10 Posted September 11, 2004 Report Share Posted September 11, 2004 Patelco are weird - only gave me $2500 for the credit card, but approved me for a 4 year $34,000 auto loan @ 4.2%I've only been in the USA for a year and they said I didn't have much experience of larger credit lines.... and wouldn't take my UK experian report into consideration.... apparently income was more important for the auto loan (probably becaused its secured on the car)Due to patelco I now have my dream car - Porsche 911! only one experian pull too.... Had to give a gentle reminder about the credit card (they seemed to forget about it) - they tell me I should get it next week. Link to post Share on other sites
