Issue: Trouble using your card

Subissue: Can't use card to make purchases

Consumer Complaint: I recently received my credit card from navy federal containing a credit limit of XXXX. I went to the atm to pull XXXX dollars in cash and was denied and tried again for XXXX dollars to no avail. I contacted navy federal, and they said everything was good on their end and to go try again at another atm and I did just that. I tried pulling cash again and all requests were denied. I tried to make a purchase and there was a fraud alert that I acknowledged it was me who made the transaction. I called navy federal and was directed to the fraud department and was on hold for over an hour just for them to tell me they will not reactivate my card or authorize my purchase because of the current statuses of my other accounts, an overdraft, too much suspicious activity from my doing and claimed that " I was running up my card ''. I just want to replace my broken refrigerator for my family. my bank account status for navy federal is displaying " Your account information is being provided for informational purposes only. Providing you this information is not an attempt to collect a debt. '' Due to this status, NFCU understands that my account status is not a factor in using my credit card that NFCU approved. the entire time I was trying to resolve this issue, the customer service reps were very shady and reluctant to give me situational updates, navy federal is depriving me of my consumer rights, and I want a speedy resolution. I will be filing a federal lawsuit against NFCU along with other consumers experiencing the same unfair treatment consisting of constant Securities fraud and numerous consumer rights violations.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: I had open an account and Navy Federal Credit Union and maintained my account until I was moved out of my home when I was not there and several weeks later I was incarcerated for a period of time. And during this time my card was used, checks were cashed in my name, a large amount of fraudulent charges were made and apparently the bank never flagged anything until several months later and my account was shut down and I was told I was not allowed to be a member of Navy Federal Credit Union any longer, especially after serving in the United States XXXX as long as I did being put out like that without anyone asking any questions or trying to fix the problem was very foul. Now I have over {$1000.00} owed and I had nothing to do with it along with several other accounts that someone stole my identity with.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: 3 checks were stolen from me in XX/XX/2022 when I sold my house, these three checks were cashed by a lady named XXXX XXXX thru XXXX XXXX XXXX account from my Navy Federal Credit Union account ending in XXXX, during the months of XXXX thru XX/XX/2022 I traveled out of the country during this time I could not access my account on the app because the bank would block the international Ip address. on XX/XX/2022 the firdt check number XXXX posted to my account and paid for XXXX then on XX/XX/2022 a second check number XXXX posted to my account and paid for XXXX also and on XX/XX/2022 the third check XXXX posted to my account and paid for XXXX. I returned from my trip on XX/XX/2022 and upon my arrival and seeing my bank statements I did not recognized these charges so I reported it to my bank and asked for copies of these checks when I received them I was able to identify that these checks had been stolen and fraudulently cashed all three checks have different handwriting 's. I submitted a claim form after reporting it by phone and included copies of the checks. Navy Federal credit Union took a long time to process and even that I had uploaded the claim on their secure site they kept saying they had not received it but system reflected that they had, so I continued to upload several times during the next several months till they finally admitted receiving it all, and then they took their time to issue it to someone to work on it, and then after several months later they sent a secure message stating that I would not get a refund or credit back, I asked why this was not making sense so then I waited and they refused to give me a reason so I appealed in writing and they again took months to answer and replied that it would not be credited back to me again I asked what reason and they never gave me a reason. I want my money back and credited back to my new account that they opened when my account was a victim of fraud XXXX

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: My daughter is helping me submit this, and is typing this for me. I am elderly and XXXX veteran. Last year, from XX/XX/2022 to XX/XX/2022, a family member began using my debit card without permission, to buy things. they made a large purchase online. During the course of the year, they repeatedly stole my ATM card and used it to go shopping without my permission. I was unaware that they were stealing from me, and did not find out until XXXX or so, in the fall. During that year, i also gave this person my ATM card, so that they could do some grocery shopping etc, for me. I trusted them. They used my ATM card to withdraw money from the ATM, thousands of dollars a day at times. Over the course of the year my entire savings, {$20000.00}, was wiped out. We calculated that they stole at least {$27000.00} from my account. We didnt find out until my caregiver took me to the bank because my card was getting declined. There may have been a time when i gave them the PIN number for my card, trusting them and thinking they were helping me. After we found out, we managed to get a new card, which he then stole also and kept using. Even after we would change PINS he was able to use the card and steal the card. The bank is washing their hands and denying any fraud claims. I of course understand them not wanting to be responsible for such a large amount of money- however, as {$27000.00} was being vacuumed out of my account over the span of only several months, they did not contact me and recieved no notifications. They did not freeze my card, did not freeze my account... even when on certain days, there would be ATM withdrawals of {$1000.00}, over and over, from a totally different bank or random ATM. Even if they were not willing to help with the ATM withdrawals, i guess i was hoping that some of the shopping would be covered- as the card was stolen and used without my permission at all. the thief did not need my PIN to shop online or at XXXX... My daughter 's bank is very protective and will call her or freeze her card if she gets gas in a different town than usual! I just find it hard to believe that they missed this activity and that it did not seem suspicious to them. Of course I should have kept a better eye on the account as well but i have limitations due to being XXXX and when i needed information, i would just call the bank to ask about my balance. They never offered me any information about all the money being sucked out so rapidly. Even when it reached XXXX dollars, the only thing that happened was my card started getting declined. I understand and respect their decision not to help me out at all. But the fact remains that my card was stolen and used to shop, even if you ignore the ATM withdrawals. I believe that however small i should at least receive some small compensation. One thing was a TV that was bought for {$1500.00}, i certainly don't have that tv, as the person kept it for themself. Anything would be very helpful, because i am living hand to mouth and it is a real struggle at this point because i need more care than i can afford. The bank told me to take this issue up with the police. I did talk to the police and they were unwilling to help me, because they said this person was family and i gave them the card. But there were plenty of times that the card was stolen from me, and even the times that i gave it, i did not authorize them to steal so much money. I may try again to file a police report again, but i am concerned that this type of thing has been allowed to happen in America, and no one seems to have my interests in mind as a victim of theft, fraud. The bank and the police have refused to help me, and i don't know where to turn. I would appreciate any kind of help you could offer me, and I'm sure you can come to a just decision regarding my situation. Thank you very much for your consideration. Note : the bank did not give me any paperwork or emails regarding this decision yet. They notified me by phone, and told me they would send emails for appeals or with further question, to follow up with them in ten days. They have not sent me anything, and they have my current email because i receive correspondence from them. So the only thing i can upload would be the fraud claims at this point, or bank statements. which id be happy to have my daughter do. thanks.
