Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: unlawfully garnished the accounts Financial institution for processing illegal, out-of-state garnishment orders against its my bank account. Financial institution unlawfully froze my account, garnished funds, and sent payments to fake creditors based on out-of-state garnishment fake court order. Its a fake order because it was not a judge or real court meaning being recognized by the state constitution. There is not proof that a real court order exist, a real judgement and writ of execution to collect a debt does not exist. All writs and process issuing from a court of the United States shall be under the seal of the court and signed by the clerk thereof. Also the program that claimed to be creditors are not listed as debt collectors and not registered with the Secretary of State of Florida to do business or to be able to collect a debt. They did not credit me anything, they have not validated any debt or given any consideration to I. XXXX will not allow a statue to be used as a cloak for fraud. Unlawful garnishment that has injured me and caused involuntary servitude. Financial institutions cooperation with corsairs ( con-artists ) at the expense of me. Also if debt can only be paid with gold and silver according to the article 1 section 10 of the u.s. constitution why did that take currency from my account. garnishments that are usually designed to make sure people have money left to live on following garnishment. Financial institution left my account balance was left to zero balance. I do not ingress in florida where the fake order was established.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

Consumer Complaint: I am a 100 % XXXX Veteran, who receives XXXX every month. A few years ago my current bank, Navy Federal Credit Union attempted to take I believe {$600.00} out of my checking account, when my only source of income was XXXX, for a past due credit card balance, which is now closed and sent to collections department. They took it out without any phone call, notice, or email, and I immediately called them and told them they can not touch those funds, and they returned said funds within the hour. I started working in XXXX of this year, XXXX, and they must have been monitoring my account at all times because once they saw that I was working and my deposits were coming in and they weren't labeled as from the " VA '' or dissability, I guess they took that as they can now start taking money, no matter the date, no matter what is happening in my life, whether or not I'm a single dad with a XXXX year old daughter, but they started taking my money. First they took XXXX straight out of savings, and they said it was for said past credit card balance. I assumed they only took it because they saw that it was in my savings. This was in XXXX, XXXX I believe. Next was on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, first taking XXXX followed by XXXX, and the latter was taken out literally the same minute that my deposit hit. Again, no phone call, notice, email, or anything. A couple weeks later I had to leave said job, and am now unable to pay my bills, that was money I saved in my checking account and knew I would be leaving that job, and looking for a new one, closer to home. Not only do I believe they should not take someones entire check from them, nor half of a check, but I don't understand how one can legally and without a doubt know that the money they are taking is not XXXX funds, when those work deposits shared an exact checking account with where my dissablity got sent to. How do they know that every dollar they transfered was not at all dissability funds when they are " mixed '' together once it's in the account. Once a deposit hit or dissablity was transfered into that account, bills had to be paid, groceries bought, etc. so how can they possibly know where I allocate my money and what they are taking. I don't believe that's possible. Again, Not only that, how can they take so much, not care or know that the person is going to be jobless soon, and needs every dollar that they were saving. Now I can not pay bills, buy gas, etc. for the rest of this month. I have reached out to numerous lawyers all saying the same thing, this is not something they deal with. I have even contacted the veterans emergency line and they were of no help also. I really need that " cushion '' right now especially since I don't have a new job yet. I don't know how they can differentiate since it's shared with an account where XXXX was deposited into, and also, how is the amount they chose to take not against any law or act, having to do with not only veterans, but consumer protection. I need someone to tell me that they have to return some if not all, please if you can help. I am out of options. Again, this account is closed, sent to collections, I paid for this with a credit score downfall, This is what Navy Federal will not tell their clients, this is what they won't show on their commercials and adds. I am planning on taking them to small claims and explaining all of this to a judge, I have to try. I don't see how that is fair.

Issue: Problem with customer service

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX i submitted an inquiry to the irs as I had failed to receive my round 2 stimulus in the amount of {$600.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX I received a reply which lead me to discover the funds were sent via direct deposit in XX/XX/XXXX to a checking account with NFCU I used on my XXXX tax return. An account which as of XX/XX/XXXX was no longer open. Instead of sending the funds back to the treasury as per my findings, so a paper check could be issued. Navy Federal diverted the funds to my savings account which while still technically active. Had not been used by me in over a year. In addition, as my contact info was not updated I did n it receive statements and my online access was non active. Navy Federal then allowed the funds to sit in my inactive savings for upwards of six months so I was informed by a representative, only to then be allocated to help satisfy a charged off credit card I have with the credit Union. When I spoke with them I did so with a good degree of understanding as far as their collection process goes. This XXXX due to my having been employed with them previously as a senior collections representative. That being said I know it is not standard procedure to divert direct deposit funds automatically to alternate accounts without speaking with the member. Especially when it comes to federal funds. I also know their collection system " XXXX XXXX '' monitors any pending deposits for members with outstanding lending products. So it was known my {$600.00} payment was coming prior to it even arriving and the diversion request made preemptively. I also know the {$600.00}! would have shown on the daily reports assigned to collections reps. So the moneys were left there intentionally but without a doubt monitored. I can only assume in anticipation of either new activity on my part. Or for enough time to pass for them to assume I'd never realize it was there. Mind you I was no longer using this account which statements show. Regardless, it never should have went to the savings in the first place. This rings of deception per my understanding of XXXX. While writing this I did attempt to pull statements to provide. Only to discover that while my savings is open, it is in a credits only status and my online access has been restricted. Per the representatives I spoke with however up to my round 2 payment being taken by NFCU the account was open and available for use. I had to request statements be mailed to my address. I do give permission for CFPB to request them for review purposes

Subissue: Collected or attempted to collect exempt funds

Consumer Complaint: I have a current bank account with Navy Federal Credit Union. I had a charged-off loan from XXXX. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, {$350.00} were deducted from my primary checking account. When I called to inquire, I was told it was taken for the charged-off loan and because they saw a large deposit made in my account they decided to deduct funds. I wasn't given prior notification. I do not have a payment arrangement for a charged-off loan. The debt collection statute of limitations has passed. I want my {$350.00} back. When I asked for it to be returned, I was told they didn't have to return it and could take monies at any time even though it's charged off and I don't have to be notified.
