Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: I noticed my card was fraudulently being used and immediately reported the fraudulent charges. The Navy Federal Credit Union representative filed the claim ( which was approved and found to be fraudulent ) but she only reported one transaction although there were multiple transactions from the same merchant. Once I realized the representative made an error I contacted Navy Federal and advised them that the representative didnt include all of the fraud charges, so the bank had to create another claim that they denied. The initial claim was approved and found that I was a victim of fraud but the rep only added one item when there were about 9 items that I initially disputed. I appealed the decision and waited over a month and was denied again. Im the victim of fraud that is now being victimized by the bank

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Subissue: Application denials

Consumer Complaint: My wife and I submitted an application through Navy Federal credit Union for a home loan. We sign documents for a 20 year loan at an interest rate around 12.85 % APR. We also submitted the request to proceed. However, I received a phone call from our loan officer XXXX XXXX, advising that we were not approved. I asked why, if we already signed E signed documents, given us the rates in terms, and she advised per our guidelines. When I requested what the guidelines were or any more detailed information, she was very vague. I asked to speak to her supervisor. Her supervisor never contacted me back. Had a XXXX contact me and stated because of our XXXX score after I requested to speak to Supervisor, the supervisor also stated to XXXX that they can submit for an exception to be reviewed and we will get a response back which we were denied again. I felt like it. This whole process was misleading since we were signing you signing documents with rates in terms my regular process was never signed any documentation I had to I knew that we were approved very misleading

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Credit denial

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) has been at the center of racial animus and discrimination allegations in loan activities. I applied for a car loan with NFCU. I applied online for a car loan. I was denied but given an email or notification in the application process that I could appeal the denial. I waited 10 days to do so to get the denial letter. I called NFCY with the info in the credit report noted as a reason for denial. I also sent a secure message inquiring about the appeal to no avail. I verified my credit score at XXXX, job and income data, employer data, cash on hand at other financial institutions, and my home address. All data was verified telephonically with a representative. The data wasn't reviewed. I'm still waiting.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: I am submitting a formal complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union, expressing significant concerns about potential privacy law violations, particularly the insufficient disclosure of opt-out rights. As a responsible credit union member, I expect institutions like Navy Federal Credit Union to uphold transparency, fairness, and compliance with regulations. Recent observations raise serious concerns, warranting a thorough investigation into Navy Federal Credit Union 's practices. My primary concern is the apparent lack of disclosure regarding consumers ' right to opt out of information sharing, a crucial aspect of privacy. Section 15 USC 6802 ( b ) ( c ) mandates clear explanations, but Navy Federal Credit Union may not effectively communicate this information. The absence of opt-out information, a right under 12 CFR 1016.7, is troubling, hindering informed decisions and raising compliance questions. Beyond opt-out disclosures, concerns extend to potential Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 USC 1681 ) violations. Section 602a emphasizes fairness, impartiality, and respect for consumer privacy, areas where Navy Federal Credit Union may lack full compliance. The apparent lack of information on opt-out options may signal broader insufficient privacy disclosures. Section 15 USC 1681C ( a ) ( 5 ) prohibits certain adverse information disclosure without proper authorization, necessitating clear privacy disclosures under The Privacy Act of 1974. Notably, under 15 USC 6805, the privacy notice reveals involvement with third-party companies, implying potential Privacy Act and terms and conditions violations. 16 CFR Part 313 and 16 CFR 433.2 outline requirements for privacy practice information. Emphasizing 5 USC 522a in relation to identity theft, protecting personal information is vital, and any false use of identity, as suspected with Navy Federal Credit Union, contravenes the law. Additional concerns involve potential FCRA Sec 603 ( d ) ( 2 ) ( a ) ( I ) violations, as it prohibits having a consumer report containing solely transactional information. Such violations breach consumer trust and ignore fundamental principles of consumer protection. Lastly, 15 U.S. Code 1681s2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A underscores the importance of furnishing accurate information to consumer reporting agencies, a responsibility that must be upheld. In light of these concerns, I urgently request a thorough Consumer Financial Protection Bureau investigation into Navy Federal Credit Union 's practices. I implore the Bureau to address opt-out and privacy disclosures, considering relevant laws, and ensure compliance with privacy laws and consumer protection statutes. I appreciate your attention to this matter and trust the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau will take necessary steps to safeguard consumer rights.
