Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: Hello, Good morning, my name is XXXX XXXX and I have a credit card with navy federal for about 2 years now. In 2021 is all when the fraud started with this card. We have asked the company repeatedly to not share our card number or send it virtual in an email is it can be compromised. Of course they did do this and the card was used in XXXX and XXXX. My husband and I are showing almost XXXX of debt on there for 80 % of charges we did not complete we have tried to look at everything and go purchase by purchase but it is too difficult to identify which purchases we made vs. Fraud. We are seeking at this point a settlement amount and the account closed. This is not fair to us as the customers to have over 10 fraud obstacles. We have been beyond frustrated and exhausted all energy. But with a XXXX XXXX paying off for what others have used we will not be doing that. We have not disputed this or reporting most because as stated above we have no clue what some of these charges are. We have charges for overseas prices. This should be caught in the first place. As stated above we are seeking a payoff amount so this does not go to our credit for our future house but we will not be paying this unless there is an agreed amount.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX XXXX reached out for a payment on account we arranged to have {$160.00} to be debited. XXXX XXXX then took {$2200.00} on XXXX and I was sent a receipt showing what was authorized. Also during the conversation I advised them that the {$160.00} was a one-time payment and to not store my banking information. I contacted XXXX XXXX to have funds refunded and contact bank to dispute. Per banking representative I was not able to dispute transaction until it posted. After transaction {$2200.00} was posted I file a dispute with bank and I have not received a resolution yet. XXXX XXXX then as of XXXX debited {$160.00}. I contacted XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX. Both companies pointed blame at each other. XXXX XXXX has caused hardships because of their actions for both my wife and I.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Bounced checks or returned payments

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Credit Union, without notice to its customers, ceased crediting accounts with deposits from check under XXXX XXXX dollars. Furthermore, they have delayed deposits more than one processing day as per their agreement. I have also found that they do not reverse or seek to assist customers with debits that are in error. Most recently, NFCU allowed for a canceled set of payments to disrupt my bank draft that has been processing for more than two days.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card

Consumer Complaint: I used my Navy Federal credit card while traveling out of the country at the airport in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and returned on XX/XX/XXXX. Upon my return I found the following charges on my credit card. XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX XXXX, XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX I proceeded to call Navy Federal Credit Union to file a fraud claim about the charges on my account and I was told to destroy the card and another card was sent to me. I waited a few months and called back in XXXX since the charges were still showing on my account. I was then told by the representative that the first agent I spoke to on the phone forgot/failed to file a claim in XXXX. She proceeded to file a claim and then told me that the charges would be removed including the interest and late payment charges. The charges were removed only to later show up with a letter stating that they have evidence that it might have been me. I asked for the evidence and they refused to provide it to me. I then sent a PDF of my itinerary showing that I was out of the country and also provided an incident report from the police department in my city. They later denied the review stating that they were authorized over the phone but refused to provide the phone number used for the phone authorization. I asked for a new investigation since they failed to file a claim and follow up on the fraudulent charges for months but they told me I have to go to court and get a subpoena to get report from each merchant involved in this case. I am absolutely devastated as this charges are currently affecting my credit score thereby affecting my business and finances. I would appreciate your assistance in resolving this matter. XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: Navy federal did not notify me that my account was past due before submitting a negative report of late payments on my credit account. When I received their collection letter, I immediately paid the account in full. When I spoke with their staff, they initially said they did not submit any late payment report but when I checked my credit score it had dropped drastically and it was due to their late payment report. Three different people advised that an advanced payment specialist could remove the negative report from my credit report but when I spoke with credit card supervisor she said that information was incorrect and their policy was not to remove it. They should remove it and they should not be able to drop a person 's credit score so drastically and then tell you there's nothing they can do.
