Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits or withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I was paid a very good amount by my new employer on XX/XX/2022. My new employer is also helping me monetarily so I can get back on my feet after not working for over a year taking care of my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX veteran grandfather. My deposited check was first approved and my bank gives {$220.00} right away so I will have some money available for a couple days before they deposit the entire amount. I have never had an issue with this before. This time, after the notification of my approved deposit, they sent a different notification saying that it will be held for over 5 days to " protect me from fraud '' and the weekend days involved. I contacted them to find out exactly why this is even a situation because I have never deposited a fraudulent check and I have also deposited amounts larger than the current with no issues before. I was told that the check is being held by the Federal Reserve to verify that the funds would be available from the company writing the check. I was also told that one of the reasons this situation has risen is because they had experienced questionable checks from the same source before and it had absolutely nothing to do with my previous actions. After researching these claims I found out that it was a total lie from the representative I spoke with. I called the Federal Reserve and verified that they were not the one holding my check at all. I also spoke with the General Manager at my new employment and verified that there has never been fraudulent checks written from the business and another new employee was able to cash their check at their own bank with no issues at all. I called my bank again and spoke with a supervisor and only told that it will be requested to be re-reviewed and possibly cleared a couple days earlier than the 5 day to 7 day time frame I was originally notified of. The supervisor did not verify anything, the first representative I spoke with, was true. He also did not say that I was the main reason for the hold. I was given no proper explanation at all. I am complaining because this is a situation that is completely unacceptable behavior from a financial institution that has never experienced fraudulent activity from a customer before. Things like this should not be allowed to happen to people that are trying to back on their feet with help from others understanding the person 's current situation. Completely unacceptable.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my credit report and I noticed some accounts on my consumer report that should not be on there. This agency is in violation of 15 USC 1692g. They were to notify me of this in writing 5 days prior, I was not notified. As the original creditor, only I can validate this debt. I do not validate this debt. Therefore, the following accounts must be deleted from my report immediately : Navy Federal Credit Union - Account Number : XXXX Date Opened : The reporting of these account ( s ) is/are violations of 15 USC 1681 , and the Fair Credit Reporting Act [ 15 USC 1681 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( B ) ] : ( 2 ) Exclusions.Except as provided in paragraph ( 3 ), the term consumer report does not include ( B ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device ; So let me explain. Under the Truth in Lending Act 15 USC 1602 ( g ), credit card is defined as the following : The term credit card means any card, plate, coupon book or other credit device existing for the purpose of obtaining money, property, labor, or services on credit. This makes your social security card, drivers license/ID, and license plate credit cards that are/were used for the extension of credit. So, with that being said, with great power comes great responsibilities. It's really up to you how you want to use this information.

Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer

Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled

Consumer Complaint: Last Year during Covid-19 i was sick with XXXX. Navy federal received my payment XXXX days late for loan i obtain from them to further my education. I explained to navy federal numerous times about what happened to me those 2 months. Navy federal was so cold and heartless. Navy federal ruined my stellar payment history during the pandemic because of XXXX late payment. Now that XXXX, XXXX and XXXX have added XXXX pandemic hardship option to the dispute area I disputed this XXXX day late again to navy federal XXXX Within 1 week navy federal credit union responded that this account is accurate. I didnt dispute this account to be told that its accurate! I disputed this account with navy federal to acknowledge the new option that all XXXX credit bureaus have provided on their websites for me to choose. If my education loan was affected during the Covid-19 pandemic it says i can ask for relief. XX/XX/2021 we were on lockdown. I was sick with XXXX and did not go back to work until XX/XX/2021. Navy federal still received payment and chooses to ruin my credit.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I applied for a credit line increase with Navy Federal for my XXXX card. I was denied an increase based on a credit report PRIOR to my application. I notified Navy Federal that the report they are using is inaccurate. I requested they pull a current report to be able to properly evaluate my credit. They have refused stating they can decide what report they want to use. The current report will show at least a 40 point increase as well as credit utilization of 9 %.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX notified me that a deposit I made was being held and my account has went to the security team. Upon contacting them the same day I was advised I was given a check that may not clear and my account was on hold. After contacting the check issuer my Employer I was advised they issued a check to a closed account and needed to correct the issue and also sent a letter explaining the mix-up. I have been an NFC customer since XXXX and did not understand why I ended up in fraud. My entire online platform was placed on hold and blocked access to both of my secured credit cards in which I make payments directly from my checking account. On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with customer service again and was advised that my account was still blocked and I needed to make my payment until the investigation is complete. She attempted to transfer to the fraud team to unblock and explain the mix-up. I was able to schedule a payment with her, however on XX/XX/XXXX I receive an alert that I was late for payment on my credit, I was never late in history. I called again and was told it was an error and its no way to make a payment on my account while I was on hold until the investigation is over. I advised this would make my account report incorrectly and asked to close both secured accounts, however, this was never done. On XX/XX/XXXX, I receive another credit alert for both cards and late status, I called NFC right away and spoke with customer service. She advised my accounts had never been closed and were on hold with fraud, she transferred me and I waited an hour before someone picked me up at XXXX XXXX. The specialist put me on hold after I explained the issue and was really not trying to help, he sounded very disoriented and not interested in hearing my concern. By the end of the conversation he was unable to help and I asked again to close the accounts because they are secured and funds were available in my savings account to pay off. He paid off both cards and closed them, however, now my credit is ruined and the account has been reported incorrectly because of blocking access to pay the accounts online and was told payment would be scheduled. My account should have never been closed, it was a Human Error that caused this, please fix it.
