Your Billing Rights
Questions About Your Statement
Please let us know right away if you have any
questions about your statement. This notice contains
important information about your rights and our
responsibilities under the Fair Credit Billing Act.
Notify Us in Case of Errors or
Questions About Your Bill
If you think your bill is wrong or if you need more
information about your transaction on your bill, write
to us (on a separate sheet) at:
HEW FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
PO Box 70990; SW Station
Washington, DC 20024-0990
Write to us as soon as possible. We
must hear from you no later than 60 days after we sent
you the first bill on which the error or problem
appeared. You can telephone us, but doing so will not
preserve your rights.
In your letter, give us the following
information:
1. Your name and account number. 2. Dollar amount of
the suspected error. 3. Describe the error and
explain, if you can, why you believe there is an
error. If you need more information, describe the item
you are not sure about.
If you have authorized us to pay your
credit card bill automatically from your share savings
or share draft account, you can stop the payment on
any amount that you think is wrong. To stop the
payment, your letter must reach us three business days
before the automatic payment is scheduled to occur.
Your Rights and Our
Responsibilities After We Receive Your Written Notice
We must acknowledge your letter within 30 days,
unless we have corrected the error by then. Within 90
days, we must either correct the error or explain why
we believe the bill was correct. Once we have
explained the bill, we have no further obligation to
you even though you still believe there is an error,
except as provided below.
After we receive your letter, we
cannot try to collect any amount you question or
report you as delinquent. We can continue to bill you
for the amount you question, including finance
charges, and we can apply any unpaid amount against
your credit limit. You do not have to pay any
questioned amount while we are investigating, but you
are still obligated to pay the parts of your bill that
are not in question.
If we find we made a mistake on your
bill, you will not have to pay any finance charges
related to any questioned amount. If we did not make a
mistake, you may have to pay finance charges, and you
will have make up any missed payments on the
questioned amount. In either case, we will send you a
statement of the amount you owe and the date it is
due, unless you have agreed that your statement is
correct.
If you fail to pay the amount that we
think you owe, we may report you as delinquent.
However, if our explanation does not satisfy you and
you write to us within 10 days telling us that you
still refuse to pay, we must tell anyone we report you
to that you have a question about your bill. And, we
must tell you the name of anyone we reported you to.
We must tell anyone we report you to that the matter
has been settled between us when it finally is.
If we do not follow these rules, we
cannot collect the first $50 of the questioned amount,
even if your bill was correct.
Special Rule for Credit Card
Purchases
If you have a problem with the quality of property or
services that you purchased with a credit card, and
you have tried in good faith to correct the problem
with the merchant, you may have the right not to pay
the remaining amount due on the property or services.
There are two limitations on this right:
You must have made the purchase in your home state or,
if not within your home state, within 100 miles of
your current mailing address. The purchase price must
have been more than $50. These limitations do not
apply if we own or operate the merchant or if we
mailed you the advertisement for the property or
services.
Change of Address
-
You must notify us in writing to change your address.
Because we perform monetary transactions by phone
request, it is for your protection and security that
we do not accept change of address information over
the phone. -
The Credit Union reserves the right to
destroy any mail returned to us as undeliverable.
FEDERAL REGULATION CC
Your Ability To Withdraw Funds At HEWFCU
Our policy is to make funds from your
deposits available to you on the first business day
after the day we receive your deposit. At that time,
you can withdraw the funds in cash and we will use the
funds to pay checks that you have written.
For determining the availability of
your deposits, every day is a business day except,
Saturdays, Sundays, federal holidays and the Friday
after Thanksgiving Day. If you make a deposit before
4:00 p.m. on a business day that we are open, we will
consider that day to be the day of your deposit.
However, if you make a deposit after 4:00 p.m. or on a
day that we are not open, we will consider that the
deposit was made on the next business day.
Deposits Through The Night Deposit
Slot
When making a deposit through the night deposit slot,
please keep in mind, deposits are collected twice a
day. Any deposit made through the night deposit slot
after 3:00 p.m. will be consider as being made on the
next business day.
Deposits Through A HEWFCU Automated
Teller (ATM) Machine
ATM machines are serviced and deposits are collected
one time a day. All deposits made through an HEWFCU
ATM Machine after 8:00 a.m. will be considered to have
been made on the next business day.
Longer Delays May Apply
In some cases, we will not make all of the funds that
you deposited by check available to you on the first
business day after the day of your deposit. Depending
on the type of check that you deposit, funds may not
be available until the fifth business day after the
day of your deposit. However, the first $100 of your
deposits will be available on the first business day
of your deposit.
