Encoding errors are generally handled by adjustments sent between credit unions and other financial institutions. You should notify your credit union so they can investigate the error. Generally, credit unions require you to notify them of any error(s) within 30 days after the statement date. However, the time period for this prompt notification may vary by credit union and state.
