After painfully executing two Share loans for my son's college expenses, I have concluded that PenFed is by far the most inept financial institution I have ever dealt with. I opened an IRA account with them the last time they had a high interest savings promotion, but missed the window. I will be closing that account and not using it. It took well over 30 days and many phone calls to get at Share loan completed. That is more time than a lot of home loans take. With money in a PenFed account that fully backs the loan, I am amazed at how difficult they can make it. The loan disbursement people obviously do not read instructions written by the people making the loan. I had to lend DS tuition and living expenses. Today, in the check he had PenFed send me to reimburse me for the cash was made out to him, not me but with my address on it. So here it is, about 2 1/2 months since we started this loan and I am still spending major amounts of time trying to get them to get their paperwork straight! The first loan was no better. Now I have to consider weather to do the third and final loan with them. My intent was to not have loans scattered across different institutions for DS's school loans.
Even if they are backed by the Federal Government, a financial institution has to display a certain level of competency to get my money.
