Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: During sometime back in XXXX of XXXX I believe I became a victim of identity theft. Someone may have stolen all of my personal information and from that point they began to open up credit cards and receive financial assistance in my name without my acknowledgement! All this was going on without my knowledge for a total of about 6 years. On about XX/XX/XXXX I decided to apply for and open up credit accounts for myself and this is when I found out that I was a victim of identity theft. I immediately contacted all three credit bureaus and reported the fraud. I sent in all needed documents to verify that it was not me. I have also blocked anything from my report without my knowledge. The account is listed as NAVY FEDERAL XXXXXXXX {$1000.00}

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Bounced checks or returned payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, my checking account was charged a {$29.00} returned check fee as a result of an ACH transaction presented for payment in the amount of {$820.00}. At no time during the statement cycle was my account ever below {$1000.00}. I requested assistance and clarification about the charge from my credit union ( Navy Federal Credit Union ). They responded that funds deposited into the account were not available, however the transaction log clearly indicates funds were deposited on XX/XX/XXXX. Regardless of the deposit timing or funds availability, the account balance would still not have fallen below {$820.00} ( the ACH amount presented for payment ). As a result of Navy Federal declining the payment and subsequently charging the account a {$29.00} fee, I incurred an additional {$30.00} fee from the merchant who presented the ACH payment ( FACTS payment system ). Navy Federal has not acknowledged its mistake nor compensated me fairly for my lost money, time, nor compensatory make whole relief for the ordeal they created. Navy Federal has agreed to refund the {$29.00} fee, however it took an extraordinary amount of customer time and effort to resolve their willful mistake. It appears Navy Federals internal accounting is prioritizing consumer fee receivables and targeting itss low income military and veteran customer cohort with predatory fee structures. Navy Federals reliance on a self-serving funds availability policy misleads consumers as to the actual available account balance. A review of account running balance amounts in comparison to when Navy Federal supposedly makes funds available makes it clear that Navy Federal is creatively interpreting its own policies to yield fees from its customers. This is predatory and should be stopped. If my running account balance says {$2000.00}, how can I have less than {$830.00}? Fraudulent accounting is how.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened to sue you for very old debt

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal claims to have reviewed customer call ( XX/XX/XXXX ) regarding closing the checking account. On the call the representative presented the option to close both checking and savings which was not the initial request/purpose for the call, or the best option for long term sustainability of the credit card that was attached to the savings account. I initially only inquired about closing the checking account. XX/XX/XXXX I received a letter from Navy Federal stating they will cease and desist all future communication and will not move forward with any future action they will wait for correspondence from me for any further actions. XX/XX/XXXX Navy Federal is moving to sue me in court in XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: I reached out to Navy Federal late XXXX regarding over {$8800.00} of unauthorized charges that consisted of XXXX and XXXX XXXX. Someone had got into my vehicle and took my husband wallet an my debit card was in it. After XXXX weeks of waiting I was informed that my claim was wrongfully denied so I emessaged the bank for a second review. After calling several time I was told giving the police report information would help speed the investigation so I immediately contacted the police department and got the information to them. It has been XXXX months and I have not received any update on my claim nor have I received any money while my claim is still being investigated. The only information I receive when I call customer service is that its still under review and theres no time frame. This isnt being handled properly and I need my claim approved immediately or I will have to seek further legal action for my money and the stress this has caused me financially.
