NASA FCU Sends Out Wrong Letter to Thousands

Editor’s Note: A number of current and former NASA employees in the Washington metro area received a letter dated 1 November 2005 from the NASA Federal Credit Union which announced “your credit application has been approved. Your new cards will arrive in the next 10 days”. Well someone goofed – big time. The NASA FCU sent this letter out by mistake to anyone with a NASA FCU VISA card that was being automatically upgraded – giving the false impression to a lot of people that someone had applied for a credit card under their name.
