    CDs 12 Month Rates

    Not impressed. Got a CD last November. The staff person put the wrong SS number. I was back home 60 miles away before I realized it. My bad. Central does not issue earnings statements. So the same staff told me
    Thought I would buy a truck in August. Asked about using CD as security for a loan. Less than 25% of the value of the CD. The person that answered the phone did not know if Central did that. Supposedly talked to a loan officer. I held on til she reported back, " we don't do that". The original staff didn't know what a passbook savings account was. I am dating myself, but I retired from FDIC. So on the maturity date of 11\13\19 I will be moving my money
    Still scratching my head!!
