Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX ( posted XX/XX/XXXX ), I attempted to withdraw {$100.00} from my checking account at an ATM in XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX DC. The ATM did not process my transactionit spent a long time loading before proceeding to eject my card and not dispense any money. I didnt think much of it and proceeded to try a different ATM in the same building. The second one worked and I was able to withdraw {$100.00}. However, BOTH transactions posted on my account, charging me {$100.00} ( includes atm fee ) twice. Ive tried to contact my bank ( Navy Federal Credit Union ) multiple times regarding this. I disputed the first withdrawal and they notified me that they determined from their investigation that I benefited from the transaction. Ive called at least 3 times trying to speak to someone in the relevant department with no success. I was directed to just submit an appeal through the app which was rejected saying the same thing as the initial decision. If I could actually speak to a human there that works in the correct department, I think they would understand that it wouldnt make sense for me to withdraw the same amount in the same building on the same day if I got the money out that I was trying to withdrawal the first time. I think in whatever investigation they did, they are confusing the first transaction with the second. This is more about the principle at this point than the actual money lost as {$100.00} is not nearly worth the time I have spent attempting to resolve this. I just submit a complaint with the XXXX XXXX XXXX the other day as well and I will continue to escalate the matter until a human working with Navy Federal Credit Union reaches out to me to apologize for their negligence and refund my money.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I opened both a simple checking and savings account with Navy Federal Credit Union. As advised by the manager that assisted with the account, i made the required deposit. Less than XXXX hours after the account was created, Navy Federal closed the checking account without notification or explanation. When i had called to find out why, the representative could not provide an explanation. Later, when I tried to pull money out of the savings account that for some reason was still active, ATM services to do this were deactivated. When I called to ask why, the representative told me I could only utilize services for the savings account within branch locations or I could request a cashiers check. She also did some digging to find that the reason my new checking account was closed was because I have recieved a LIFETIME BAN from checking service for the remaining balance on a loan in XXXX when i was a young XXXX. She explained that any loss to Navy Fed constitutes an indefinite ban with no resolution pathway. This is contradictory because I had filed a previous complaint agianst Navy Fed in which I was receiving calls threatening legal action for the exact account the representative was referencing. In that case, Navy Fed did contact me to assure me that it was not them calling me and that the accounts were not being persued in any way and that there shouldn't be any issue with rejoining Navy Fed in the future. I have a professional relationship with Navy Fed as I work along side thier military account joins for XXXX recruits netting them millions of dollars per year. I do feel that there is something going on where I am being unnecessarily targeted for denile of all Navy Federal services except the in branch only utilization of a savings account. I was not notified of the account closure, there were no issues or flags during the account setup and the reason for closure was kept from me until I started askiing about closing the savings account and lifetime bans are apparently policy for any type of loss even if the loss was decades ago.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: I did a dispute over a year ago on my funds that were stolen out of MY account in the amount of XXXX and Navy Federal returned my funds that went to an investment company and then froze MY funds. I have been told the funds have to be disbursed by the investment company - reached out to the investment company ( XXXX XXXX ) and was told that the claim was already closed and they couldn't request the money back. Now my funds have been stuck in Navy Federal for what seems to be like almost forever. In this economy, I don't know how Navy Federal would freeze my account and my hard earned funds that I PUT IN MY ACCOUNT thinking it was safe and one of the best credit unions. With the recent attention Navy Federal has had with their discrepancies in denying loans to minorities, now I am not shocked. I get mail every month with my statement balance from Navy Federal but no one has EVER contacted me to let me know how to close the account and issue my funds back. In my everyday checking- {$9.00} cents, XXXX Checking - {$90000.00}, and membership savings- {$5.00}. All of these funds are mine and I would like these accounts closed and my funds back or my account access OPENED. No one has requested my funds so I don't know why Navy Federal is still holding on to them. I am completely distressed and I am trying for once and for all to get my funds back PLEASE! Can someone at! Navy Federal PLEASE SOLVE THIS ISSUE

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, I am writing to file a formal complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) regarding a serious violation of my privacy rights. It has come to my attention that NFCU shared my transaction history with a non-affiliated third-party company without my consent, which I believe is a direct breach of my privacy rights and may be in violation of federal consumer protection laws. I sent a certified letter to Navy Federal Credit in reference to this and have yet to receive a response on the matter. I have attached all related documentation. Navy Federal conspicuously states in their terms they DO NOT share personal information with non affiliates. I request a thorough investigation into this matter to determine how and why my personal information was shared without my consent. I request that NFCU takes immediate corrective action to address this issue and ensures that my personal information is adequately protected. I request that NFCU provides a detailed response to this complaint, outlining the findings of the investigation and the actions taken to prevent such unauthorized disclosures in the future. I firmly believe that the privacy and security of my personal information are of utmost importance, and I trust that NFCU shares this commitment. I am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau to seek assistance and resolution of this matter. I appreciate your attention to this complaint and your assistance in ensuring that NFCU complies with federal consumer protection laws regarding privacy rights.

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

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal took {$200.00} from a joint account that I share to pay bills. The amount was taken to go towards a Credit Card debt that they previously charged off. They stated they can not return the funds and they still collect on their own debts, and I should've gotten a payment plan. Before the account was closed Navy told me there were no payment plans available. I asked for something in writing that says they can take money from a joint account to satisfy a charged off debt. I didn't receive anything. The money taken has now put me in a hardship, because it was to pay my water and light bill for the month of XXXX.
