Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: My phone pickpocketed at a bar/disco on XXXX. They were able to unlock my phone & send money via texts, totaling {$5400.00}! I didn't realize anything until my XXXX Watch notified me that I had left my phone behind. I asked my friends for help & began searching. It was eventually found on the bar with my wallet ( attached to the case ) so I assumed all was ok. The next morning, I notice on my laptop texts to numbers I don't recognize. I look & see that they are payments and get concerned. I look at my phone but all these questionable texts are deleted. Then I notice my NFCU & other banking apps are also deleted. I immediately call my bank, start changing my passwords, cancel my debit card ( was in my wallet ), etc. I had just gotten paid & my auto drafts ( mortgage/bills ) hadn't completed yet. Because of that they were able to take a large sum from my checking account and once that was drained, the {$1500.00} overdraft protection I have in place was maxed. Then my savings kicked in to cover the funds being sent out. My bank makes it sound like everything would be ok & place a provisional credit to my accounts for the total amount taken. A month goes by & my bank immediately pulled out the {$5400.00} ( again ). I call to ask what happened & they say the incident occurred on a 'recognized devise ' so they are not covering the fraud. I appeal explaining the situation again, providing screenshots of the texts, watch notification, police report, ect. Then yesterday I call for an update ( because they've NEVER provided any ) & was told that they again will not cover it because the transactions were approved. They clarified that by saying that the system had send texts confirming Yes/No and " I '' replied yes. BUT since my phone was not in my possession then, that wasn't me. Why would I make multiple, rapid, large late night ( XXXX ) purchases? To numbers not saved in my phone? Totaling {$5400.00}? That totally drained my Checking/Savings accounts & maxed my overdraft? Clearly that wasn't me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I XXXX XXXX XXXX open a XXXX-credit card with Navy Federal Credit Union . Fast forward to XX/XX/XXXX I was dealing with hardship, so I reached out to Navy Federal Credit Union, and they decided to give me 2 months payment free to catch up on my payments. In the two months I lost my credit card, and I didn't know due to me not using it because it was maxed out. Two months later I go online to naveyfed.com to start making payments again but my account was locked. I called them to let them ask why my account is locked, they stated that I spent {$24000.00} over my spending limit. I stated to them How is that possible!!! 1. My account was locked due to hardship and maxed to spending limit. 2. how did you guys allow the thief to spend {$24000.00} over my limit 3. Why didn't the fraud department catch the transaction while they were taking place?

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: This is related to complaint XXXX for XXXX. NFCU has not been able so far to send anything proveing I ever agreed to be a co-applicant or co-owner of a credit card my husband opened in 2011. They are now withdrawing funds from my seperate savings account to make minimum payments because they say the agreement they can not prove allows them to do that and they will continue to take the money out of my account monthly. They further will not return the payment they took without any authorization unless I sign an agreement to be responsible for the balance.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: I went to the drive through atm at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XXXX between XXXX and put cash into the ATM i didnt count exact how much i put in, it was around {$900.00} the atm jammed then spit cash back out and said it couldn't take it. I took all of the cash that it spit back out. And then it said it kept the rest of my money because I did not take it within the timeframe and to contact my financial institution. ( I assume it was jammed as no more money came out ) I couldn't it and I only got around {$400.00} back so the rest of my cash was in the atm. I contacted XXXX XXXX they said to file a claim with navy Fed regarding this and I was issued a credit for $ XXXX navy Fed while they said they would look into the claim and said they would get the exact amount that was deposited as I wasn't sure of the exact amount that I put in the ATM or the exact amount that was not given back to me. Which is why I was expecting for Navy Federal to reach out to XXXX XXXX to find out the exact amount and get that ATM transaction because I did not receive a receipt. 2 days ago navy Fed revered the credit and said I benefited from the transaction .... they didn't reach out to XXXX XXXX to see the atm transaction that happened or even to get the exact amount that was put into the machine which I knoww is available. I reached back out to navy Fed 2 days ago and they got back to me today XX/XX/16 saying the same thing the claim is considered " resolved '' which it isnt as they never got the exact amount and I'm missing my money.. I need this money I'm a single mom and how can an atm just take my money and the bank doesn't even take the time to help their customers im not trying to scam anyone. I was recorded I'm sure at the ATM when I was there. Please help me
