When Good Credit Unions Go Bad

I should have seen it coming. Things have been slowly changing for years, but today, Silver State Schools Credit Union, you really ticked me off. When you sold your branded credit cards and my interest rate nearly doubled, I simply closed the card and moved on. When you made sure I couldn't add money to my IRA without sending you a letter each time, I (yes, I know this is bad) simply stopped contributing.

But today, my weekly automatic student loan payment, which should go out on Monday, was taken out before my paycheck was deposited. Your response? Sorry for the inconvenience, thank you for the 29 dollars, and don't let the door hit you in the ass, because we're locking it behind you and won't be back until Tuesday. Your money-scamming, underhandedness in this reminds me of why I don't bank with banks. I thought you were different. Maybe we're just growing apart. Now I see you love money more. Will money help you when I go? Probably, but I still think it stinks.
