Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a Navy Federal Credit Union supervisor about the closing of my credit card account, the transfer of my security deposit and why. The Navy Federal Credit Union supervisor was very rude and told me " due to non-payment on my account for 3 months it was closed because that's what their terms and conditions state ''. Navy Federal has no right to close my account while it was in dispute.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, my husband answered a call from a scammer that claimed to be from Navy Federal, and he gave them confidential information about his account. As a part of that conversation, they took money from him and sent XXXX to me via XXXX, which was tied to my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account. Due to this transaction, my XXXX account was compromised, and I was locked out. When contacting Navy Federal Credit Union, I was told to contact XXXX. When contacting XXXX, they told me to get Navy Federal. It has been a complete merry-go-round with Navy Federal. They have been very unhelpful, and one person was actually rude. I finally was able to speak with someone in XXXX who told me that the restriction was because of the fraudulent activity on XX/XX/XXXX from the scammer and my email was compromised and that XXXX would have to be the ones to remove my restriction. I contacted XXXX where it all started and spoke with an awesome manager who worked tirelessly for two weeks to assist me ; she reached out to XXXX, to XXXX, and no one would give her any answers. After investigating and researching, she discovered that this restriction was not my fault and removed the restriction from my account. I've reached out to Navy Federal on numerous occasions asking for the same investigation and help, and they refuse to help me get the restriction removed. I even explained that I changed my email so there wouldn't be any more conflicts, and they still refused to assist me in removing that restriction from my account. I do not use XXXX as my primary banking because it's in Louisiana, and I live in Texas, and it's tough to find branches and someone to talk to in person. I use Navy Federal for all of my primary ( which I no longer want to do business with ) financial needs, and they are now causing inconveniences for me to use at the new banking institution that I've chosen to bank with because of my XXXX is restricted with them as well. I would also like to add that my husband 's XXXX was also restricted, and Navy Federal told him the same thing the restriction can not be removed, but his restriction was removed instantly after the scam.

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: I purchased a sofa from XXXX XXXX XXXX online and used my Navy Federal XXXX credit card and the charge hit my account on XX/XX/2022 in the amount of {$1400.00}. The sofa was delivered on XX/XX/2022 and was defective. The retailer asked that I accept the delivery and they would correct any issues so I let them know what the issues where, 1st, the material was pulled away from the back of the sofa and 2nd, the entire back was loose and visible moved when you sat down and creaked loudly. After several weeks of going back and forth with the retailer, they offered {$95.00} to fix the material that was pulled away and did not address the loose back only to say the humidity can cause that which is completely untrue. At that point, I contacted Navy Federal to dispute the charge. I completed all the information necessary and Navy Federal did credit me back the {$1400.00} on XX/XX/2022 and said they would wait to hear back from the retailer. I then saw where the funds were charged back to my account again on XX/XX/2022 so I contacted Navy Federal and was told that the retailer provided information stating I did not follow their 7 day return policy ( which in not true ) and that Navy Federal would send me the retailers response and that I could appeal it and hopefully get my refund since I have a broken sofa sitting in my home. That was the last I have heard from Navy Federal and of course they still have the charge on my account, they just stopped communicating with me and of course I'm sure there are time limits on these appeals and it looks like I'm going to be stuck paying for a broken sofa and no one will call me back or give me any guidance. I've contacted the retailer with no luck, the manufacturer with no luck and most importantly, Navy Federal with no luck. I even sent Navy Federal a letter addressed to their XXXX, XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2022, again with no response. Please help!!!

Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: It has taken far longer than initially estimated to close on my home equity loan application and I have not been given an estimated close date from Navy Federal Credit Union. I am at a loss on how to complete this application and have already spent over {$500.00} on a home appraisal required to complete the loan. I have reached out to my loan processor and both of her immediate managers with no response on estimated closure dates. The only response I receive is that the loan is in final review with underwriting. I first applied for this loan on XX/XX/2022. Advertised processing time was 30-45 days but due to increased demand, loan processing was estimated to be 75-90 days. I am now over 150 days into this process. Due to statutory requirements, our credit has had to be rerun and income reverified due to these delays. Please help me resolve this issue, bring the needed attention to my application and compete this loan request. Thank you!

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I noticed there was an ACH transfer from my Navy Federal Credit Union account. I reached out to the customer support team at NFCU. They closed the account and completed a fraud report. They advise me to change my user name and password and run a virus scan on my computer and phone. At which point they gave me access back to my mobile and online banking. They gave me a {$5000.00} provisional refund until the case was researched. 2 days after I went through this process, there were two other attempts for {$5000.00} each on the brand new account. Once again, we went through the process and opened another new account. I took my laptop to XXXX XXXX to have them do a thorough check and make sure it was free from XXXX or anything else. A few days later I called and had my mobile banking reactivated. Sunday XX/XX/XXXX, I was balancing my checking account and noticed on XX/XX/XXXX there was an adjustment in the amount of - {$5000.00}. I called them as soon as they opened and they stated my claim was denied. I was asked to send an email addressing my concerns. Which I did, and it takes 2-3 days for a response. I'm on hold as I type this complaint. Hold time is 30 minutes, I will hold for two hours to get this taken care of. I'm in the midst of purchasing a home and I don't have 2 or 3 days. I will not be held responsible for the actions of a common criminal, nor should I be. If you can please help me or point me in the right direction, I would greatly appreciate it. Kind regards
