Complaint ID: 7205603

Date Received: 2023-07-05

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, Id been in the process with Navy Federal of getting a Letter of XXXX XXXX that I could move forward with the sale of my vehicle. I provided all the information that the Navy Federal requested to proceed with this process and cooperated fully. I explained that I was trying to complete the sale on that day ( XX/XX/2023 ) due to the possibility of me not having time throughout the rest of the week to go through with the sale of my vehicle. I was told that the process might take some time, but the possibility of my receiving the letter on XX/XX/2023 was doable. Around XXXX XXXX, I spoke to a representative in XXXX XXXX regarding my Letter of Guarantee to see if it would/could be processed that day. Id also explained that I was at the dealership, and they were waiting for the letter to complete the sale. I understood it couldnt be done that day, but the representative told me my Letter of Guarantee would be available that day ( XX/XX/2023 ). She told me to check my email and the Navy Federal e-message for the letter within the hour. I hung up and waited for the letter but did not receive the letter at all. On XX/XX/2023, I called back to find out what happened to see why I hadnt received the Letter of Guarantee yet. Id further explain that I might not have the same time to complete the sale if the letter was not sent promptly. I still have not received the letter at the time of this CFBP submission, and I am still waiting. I was told false information from the last representative I spoke with in XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2023. If this process could not be completed on that day, she should have relayed that information so that I could have done something outside the expectation that Id receive the letter that day. Im very unhappy with the customer service, deception, and inconsistency.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, I made a deposit with two checks ( # 1 {$110000.00} & # 2 {$10000.00} ) from the US Treasury at a local Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) branch and per their funds availability policy the funds were made available to me the next business day. However, 24 hours after the deposit, and having made the funds available, NFCU opted to then arbitrarily put an extended hold on the funds and reversed the availability from my account. NFCU did this without warning ( an email was sent after the fact ). NFCU provided no factual rational that justified their actions, and I was told by an NFCU employee that the hold was placed because the checks had a high probability of not being paid, which made little sense as the checks were US Treasury checks. NFCU 's policy does allow for extended holds to be placed on funds for up to 5 days. However, their policy does not state that fund availability is subject to reversal after an initial hold has elapsed and funds have been made available. NFCU was not acting in good faith when it released the funds and then reversed that release without any fact based rational, evidence, or indicators of fraud. By NFCU 's explanation and rational, a customer has no way to tell when the funds actually become available, i.e., the customer can not rely on the balance shown in their account at any time until 5 business days have elapsed after the deposit as NFCU can reverse the availability at any time without warning or proper justification.

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, PA XXXX XX/XX/2023 Navy Federal Credit Union XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, VA XXXX Subject : Billing Error and Missing Remittance Coupon for Cash Rewards Credit Card - Account Number : XXXX Dear Navy Federal Credit Union Billing Error Department/CFO , I am writing to address a billing error and a missing remittance coupon regarding my Cash Rewards Credit Card account with Navy Federal Credit Union . I am reaching out in accordance with the provisions of the Uniform Commercial Code ( UCC ) Section 3-603 and UCC Section 3-311, which govern negotiable instruments and are relevant to this situation. On XX/XX/2023, I received a billing statement indicating a charge of {$3500.00} on my Cash Rewards Credit Card account with account number XXXX. However, according to my records, this charge has already been paid in full on XX/XX/2023, through a negotiable instrument, specifically a check payable on demand by the bearer. As per UCC Section 3-603, a person who has already paid an instrument in good faith and for value has the right to the discharge of the instrument. Therefore, I kindly request that you update my account records immediately to reflect that the aforementioned charge has been satisfied and the instrument has been discharged. Additionally, I have noticed that the remittance coupon associated with the aforementioned negotiable instrument has not been returned to me. According to UCC Section 3-311, the remittance coupon is an essential part of the instrument, and its loss or non-return should not affect the underlying obligation. Therefore, I kindly request that you locate the missing remittance coupon and provide it to me as soon as possible. I urge you to handle this matter promptly and in compliance with the UCC provisions mentioned above. I kindly request that all future communications regarding this matter be sent to me via mail. Please provide a written response to the address mentioned above. Thank you for your immediate attention to these concerns. I expect a timely response and a satisfactory resolution to rectify the billing error, discharge the instrument, and provide the missing remittance coupon in accordance with the applicable UCC provisions. Your cooperation in this matter is greatly appreciated. Yours sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Agent Without recourse Enclosure : A second remittance coupon Sent certified mail XXXX delivered XX/XX/2023.
