What are the exact steps to using the NFCU CLOC? I am still unsure how it is done. I have had the account for a couple of years and received a message that if not used it might disappear. I have the PenFed PLOC and have no problem. It is embarrassing to ask, but better to ask and know. Thanks in advance.
I particularly wonder how to use it without writing a check. Isn't that possible?

I don't have it myself so I'll have to defer to others for specifics, but if I recall correctly you can have them send you a separate set of checks just for accessing the CLOC.
I would find it strange to purposely overdraft for the purpose of using the CLOC and using a separate CLOC check would be my preferred method (assuming they are available).
I don't have any experience with the CLOC either but isn't there a way to transfer available credit directly into your checking account as cash?
I have my NFCU account page open. There is no way to transfer from my Checking Line of Credit to my e-Checking account.
My e-checking account and my CLOC share the same account number.
I once tried to use my CLOC check as I was unsure if a deposit would hit prior to a large check I had to write. The deposit hit before the check cleared and the CLOC check just deducted the money from the checking account.
It would be great if you gave them a call and see how you need to use the account. At the 13.9% interest, I would only use this line as a short-term loan if say a zero percent deferred interest account was coming due.
Either you can overdraw your checking account or preferred give them a call and order a book of checks (Free of charge) and write a check to use it then just pay it off. Strange you got a mail about that as have had mine for several years along with others and have never used it.. Wonder if they are going to start clamping down on this?

No. You can transfer from an NFCU credit card to your Navy checking account, but not from the CLOC to Navy checking.
To use the CLOC, you write a check from the checkbook they sent you (it has to say Checking Line of Credit), then deposit that check into a checking account that isn’t from Navy to be able to used it.

May I ask how long you have had the CLOC?
About two years.
