Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022, I was admitted to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX resulting from a XXXX XXXX While under their care, my wallet ( containing my Navy Federal Credit Union access number ) and personal belongings were out of my possession. When I was discharged ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I saw that someone had forged my signature on the discharge papers and even spelled my name wrong. It was not a family member because the hospital did not allow any family members to visit me. My daughter brought a change of clothes to the hospital but had to hand them off to a security guard who gave them to me and the security guard had to escort me to the car to go home. On XX/XX/XXXX, my wife discovered that our Navy Federal Money Market and savings accounts were empty and they told her that I had withdrawn the money online, but I do not bank online. We filed a fraud claim with the credit union, contacted our other bank ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX credit cards and learned all of our joint accounts were maxed out or depleated. I filed a report with XXXX XXXX Police, fraud report with XXXX, XXXX 'XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as identity theft fraud report with Social Security, the FBI, and the XXXX XXXX XXXX I have also received numerous notifications of credit denials ranging from {$20000.00} to {$70000.00} from all over the country which I did not apply for. One of them was from XXXX and I informed them that I am not a member and did not apply for it and to mark it as fraud. I notified all 3 credit agencies and had my credit score/report frozen. I continued to receive credit cards in the mail ( which I did not apply for ) with credit limits up to {$5000.00}. I have contacted all financial institutions reporting the fraud and shredded the cards without activating them. Every financial institution involved has been very helpful in working to resolve this issue except Navy Federal Credit Union. The branch manager ( XXXX, VA XXXX, XXXX XXXX, was very rude. He even told me that even though the bank found some of the money from our joint account ( {$5500.00} ) and the claim was valid, Navy Federal would not return the money to our account, but we could still continue to bank with them. XXXX XXXX told us that the funds were unavailable, despite the letter from Navy Federal that I received stating that the {$5500.00} would be returned to our account. Thank you for your attention and help in this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Getting a loan

Subissue: Denied loan

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I was conditionally approved for a student loan through Navy Federal Credit Union. Upon receiving the approval I was asked to provide income verification for the loan that I applied for. I submitted a copy of my XXXX XXXX as proof of income as it was one of the options that I was given as proof of income. On XX/XX/XXXX they declined my documentation. They declined my documentation stating that it was beyond 60 days old and I needed to upload my pay stubs from the past 60 days. I submitted the documents they did request. On XX/XX/XXXX while reviewing my status of my loan online, I discovered that the documents that I submitted were also declined approval. I called and spoke with a representative on that date and they stated to me that they required a letter from my employer stating that I am still employed at my job. I obtained the letter from my employer and submitted it to the portal for them to review. XX/XX/XXXX I called Navy Federal again to review my loan application because I noticed that my letter was not approved. The customer service representative couldn't answer as to why it was not approved and said she would call back. I did not receive a call back. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Navy Federal stating that my loan would be declined due to inactivity. I called Navy Federal on XX/XX/XXXX due to them not being open on the weekend. When I spoke to the customer service agent he stated that I needed to send my latest paystub due to XXXX of the prior paystubs being over 60 days out. I submitted the paystub and awaited approval. XX/XX/XXXX I noticed that the online portal stated that my latest paystub wasn't approved. I contacted customer service again on XX/XX/XXXX. When I spoke to the customer service representative they stated they needed my XXXX XXXX. Even after I was told my XXXX XXXX wasn't approved because it was 60 days out. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a call from a Navy Federal Credit Union Loan representative. The representative asked me was I on XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX I told her yes and that I just had XXXX. She asked me when I was returning to work and I explained that I would be back in 3 to 4 months. She then asked me to upload any documentation from my doctor to show how long I would be out and something from my employer to show I have enough accrued time until I return to work. On XX/XX/XXXX I received an email from Navy Federal denying my loan application due to " Current income does not meet the minimum loan guidelines ''. It is my belief that my loan was denied not because of minimum income requirements but because I am on XXXX XXXX from my employer.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Money was taken from your account on the wrong day or for the wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I had a charge from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for {$390.00} XX/XX/XXXX. The hotel was brand new with amenities. The hotel stated they hand an indoor pool which is the reason I chose this one because I knew we would be staying inside the whole time. The pool was not finished and that ruined our stay for the kids which made it miserable for me. I disputed the amount with the hotel and with Navy Federal put neither company empathized with me as I se we wasted our money. There wasn't anything I could do during our stay because my Fianc was in meetings the whole time and we weren't able to change hotels.The clerk at the hotel told me they were still under construction. They should not have the amenities posted misleading customers.

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: On XX/XX/XXXX I paid {$15000.00} to XXXX XXXX. The contracted amount I was supposed to pay was {$9000.00}. XXXX XXXX XXXX had contacted me on several occasions to say additional work needed to be done. However, in none of these instances did he ever provide a written estimate for the additional work he said was necessary as required by law. Furthermore, because I criticized and called XXXX XXXX out for verbally disrespecting me for calling to find out the status of my XXXX XXXX that he had for over a month XXXX XXXX told me he would only accept a cash payment. XXXX XXXX charged me {$6000.00} over the agreed upon contractual amount. This is the amount being disputed. My complaint is against Navy Federal Credit Union for mishandling this dispute. The dispute was filed on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I received a message from Navy Federal to upload supporting documents for this dispute and I did so that day. I never heard anything more from Navy Federal Credit Union. On XX/XX/XXXX I accessed the NFCU website to check the status of the dispute. The screen read there were no open disputes. I called Navy Federal and spoke with someone in disputes. She read through the notes and informed me she saw my documents uploaded and she also saw that the dispute had been closed. She saw no evidence that I had been contacted or notified at any time by NFCU. There was never a temporary credit issued. Disputes have a limited amount of time to processed before expiring.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I have had the financial institution of Navy Federal Credit Union, as my primary means to engage commerce since the late XXXX 's. I have experienced some health challenges that seriously impacted my functioning. The NFCU made the decision to close my checking account about XXXX. The account, remains closed to date. This eliminates any opportunity to I would have to engage in Point of Sale transactions with a debit card. I receive a compensation based on my military service and current health condition. The NFCU has always said once member always a member. Why is it acceptable that I do can not have debit card nor credit card, while my compensation is deposited my account? I have and continue to be shut out of engaging in commerce during a time that cash transactions are being less integral to daily life. I have attempted to resolve this matter in writing on the following dates XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX. If you could assist me in this stalemate ; I would greatly appreciate it. No monies have been taken from me per se. However when NFCU sold account under name with the exception of my savings accounts, I have been limited to access proper nutrition, and all other aspects of my self care. As a XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX descent whom has XXXX to support the USA in the time of XXXX ; I have become dismayed. Is this what NFCU means by the mission is our members? Yours truly, XXXX XXXX
