Consumer Complaint: NFCU Subject : Explanation of Inability to Open an Account due to Confinement Dear Ally, I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to address a recent matter concerning an account application that appears to have been initiated under my name. I would like to clarify that I did not open an account with NFCU during the specified time frame due to extenuating circumstances that rendered me unable to do so. The application in question seems to have been submitted on XX/XX/. I must emphasize that during the period surrounding that date, I was in confinement and faced significant limitations in my ability to engage in any activities outside of my immediate living space. The nature of my confinement was such that I did not have access to the necessary resources, including internet access and physical documentation, required to open a new account. Moreover, my location was not conducive to such activities, making it logistically impossible for me to initiate any account-related procedures. I understand the importance of accurate record-keeping and the need for thorough investigations in matters like these. I kindly request that you conduct a comprehensive review of the application details and consider the circumstances I have outlined. It is my hope that this clarification will allow you to confirm my assertion that I did not open the account mentioned in your records. If there are any additional steps or documentation required from my end to support this claim, please do not hesitate to inform me. I am more than willing to cooperate fully to resolve this matter promptly. I appreciate your understanding and cooperation in this regard. It is my earnest hope that we can swiftly resolve any discrepancies and rectify the situation. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your response. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX I discovered that NFCU did not have the title to my vehicle on hand while trying to complete a sale of the vehicle. After multiple phone calls over the course of the two weeks to follow I was condescended and belittled by 3 supervisors who claimed it was my fault that the title had gone missing and one who stated that NFCU records showed them never receiving the title from XXXX. Once the records of both the CA DMV and NFCU XXXX and a branch in XXXX XXXX Florida were checked the following was concluded : In XXXX of XXXX, I made a request, through the branch in XXXX XXXX Fl, to have the title sent there so I could register the vehicle as I had just been stationed in FL. A request was made to CADMV to turn the XXXX into a paper copy ( per CADMV records ) That paper copy was mailed to NFCU with a tracking number to confirm receipt on XXXX at the address on file ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, PA ) ( per CADMV records ). From there it was sent via XXXX standard mail to the branch in XXXX XXXX FL. ( per NFCU records ). The branch confirmed that it has no records of ever receiving it or reaching out to me to inform me that it never came in. NFCU has an internal policy that if a title is sent to a branch and not claimed by the member that it is to be returned to the main title holding section in PA after 30 days ( per NFCU ). That policy was never carried out. ( per NFCU ) The events as outlined above and the negligence demonstrated by NFCU to follow common sense practice, such as utilizing mail with tracking service, and disregard for internal policy resulted in the title for my vehicle going missing and remaining missing for a period of 2 years and ultimately resulted in the inability of myself to sell the vehicle to an individual who had arranged to pay more than the remaining loan amount. In order to try and correct this matter NFCU filed for a duplicate title from CADMV ( per NFCU record ) and charged me a {$25.00} fee ( which they said would be waived prior to me giving consent for the order ). It was only after I received a letter stating that the amount had been debited from my account and confirming via the online app, and calling the help line that the amount was refunded to me. I tried negotiating for fair resolution on three separate occasions through a case manager as NFCU supervisors said case managers are the only ones who can do anything beyond. All three were denied. No further resolution has been reached. For these reasons and pursuant to 12 USC 5531 I am filing the complaint of abuse. Navy Federal Credit Union took unreasonable advantage of my reliance on them to safeguard the property held and displayed negligence on multiple occasions to follow set policy, which is not consistent with acting in the best interest of the consumer.
