On her date of death, XX/XX/2020, she had in her Credit Union checking account {$510.00}. On XX/XX/2020, my mothers husband/spouse notified the credit union of her death.

Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: I, XXXX XXXX, a federally protected consumer and NATURAL PERSON, has been disproportionately VIOLATED by Navy Federal Credit Union. I opened my NFCU account in XXXX and in the beginning of XXXX NFCU made an unlawful decision to not send me an updated card and close my credit card account. At that point I had not fallen behind on my account so I was totally confused and completely stressed about their poor decision. It was at the peak of the pandemic and to make matters worse NFCU began taking money out of my checking account to put towards this closed credit card account causing overdraft fees. NFCU closed closed my account and negatively reported an unvalidated debt without my permission, which was of no benefit to me violating the Consumer Credit Protections Act. Pursuant to 15 USC 1601 ( a ) these laws were put in place to protect the consumer against inaccurate and unfair credit billing and credit card practices. Performing actions on a consumer account without their permission is undermining congress. NFCU repeatedly called/ texted me, took money from my checking account causing other bills to go unpaid. My consumer rating took a major hit because now this closed account is making my utilization high making it hard for me to get financing for a reliable vehicle to make it back and forth to work to maintain a living for myself and my family. I now know my rights and I am done being being violated and I demand remedy for the unnecessary stress and mental anguish this credit union has caused me.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: I spoke with Navy Federal Credit Union on several occasions and desperately tried to show proof of fraud and dispute transactions done fraudulently, it all started, when I purchased a new XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX from XXXX in the XXXX. I filed a police report the same day at the XXXX precinct because of high call volumes on my account and my XXXX had been previously compromised. I deposited XXXX dollars into my account in XX/XX/XXXX and with the new XXXX I thought I was safe and it would not be compromised. I started using XXXX XXXX because XXXX XXXX and its easier for me to send money. I did not know about the XXXX data breach until later in the year and that's when I noticed something was wrong with so many transfers from my Navy federal Credit Union account . I called them them in XXXX to dispute charges and when it came to the transfers to XXXX XXXX I know that someone was stealing my money. ( MY XXXX WAS COMPROMISED AND CLONED I HAVE PROOF NOW THAT SOMEONE USING MY IMEI AND PHONE NUMBER MADE TRANSFERS WITHOUT MY PERMISSION. I AM FILING ANOTHER POLICE REPORT. NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION RESPONSED IF I MADE ONE MISTAKE REGARDING WHICH TRANSACTIONS WAS FRAUD THEY WOULD DENY MY ENTIRE FRAUD CLAIM WHICH THEY HAVE ON MORE THAN TWO TIMES. MY SECURE CREDIT CARD ALSO HAD A FRAUD AMOUNT ON XX/XX/XXXX FOR XXXX XXXX FOR XXXX WHICH SOMEONE CREATED A XXXX XXXX AND USED MY NAME AND A DIFFRENT TELEPHONE NUMBER. THAT MONEY WAS REFUNDED AND THAT IS THE ONLY AMOUNT THAT NFCU HAS RETURNED.

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Bounced checks or returned payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I made an attempt to deposit money through a several ATMs. The ATMs werent taking deposits. We only have one physical branch in the XXXX area. But there are several satellite ATMs. I went to every one of them and had no luck. Every ATM was either not accepting deposits or the machine was out of service. Due to the fact that I dont have a way to get to the branch all the time and I homeschool ATMs are my lifeline. Because I couldnt get money in NFCU returned a automated payment of mine from XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX I again attempted to use the ATM at the branch and it took me through the whole process and then said it couldnt accept my deposit. I immediately contacted Customer Service as I have done many times before regarding the availability of ATMs in my area. I was told that people have been complaining and they have been working to resolve the issue. There was no remedy that I was offered except to submit a complaint. I explained that I had done that and all I was told is that the pandemic caused them a lot of issues. While I get that NFCU is suppose to make ATMs available for customers to pay bills and maintain their accounts. I had to drive to two separate locations before my deposit was accepted. This is an ongoing and continuous issue. Now I am left to pay fees for a returned payment because I couldnt get the money deposited. This has been going on since XXXX and I have been patient but this issue needs to be addressed formally.

Issue: Problem when making payments

Subissue: Problem during payment process

Consumer Complaint: As XXXX XXXX veteran who has raised XXXX kids successfully and got a letter from President Obama and XXXX XXXX XXXX Obama through US Congresswoman XXXX XXXX, I have lived super honorably to support my young kids. To purchase something, credit utilization is very critical. Only thing most Americans cares is closing statement date, Navy federal credit union used to comply with me and my request, whenever I made a full payment to make credit utilization low ( zero ) on closing statement date, Navy federal updated and reflected on the same day to new statement ( closing statement date ). But, unfortunately, Navy federal credit union worker who is in charge of closing date statement has played with me and abused me for over weeks, Attached files indicated that I paid XXXX dollars in the credit card ending XXXX ( cash reward ) on XX/XX/XXXX to make credit utilization as XXXX before original closing date XX/XX/2022 but Navy federal credit union worker ****** ***** intentionally did not reflect on the new statement, the worker who is in charge of closing statement sent a message that they changed closing statement date to XX/XX/2022 without my consent and without considering my strong opposition. ( my opposition evidence is included in the attachment file of this case ). So I have waited to make a credit utilization XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX new closing statement date, based on the information they provided about closing statement date XX/XX/XXXX, I made a payment early morning XXXX dollars on XX/XX/2022. But in the middle of night, around XXXX pm on XX/XX/2022 ( which is not closing statement date ) Navy federal credit union worker posted closing date statement on XX/XX/2022 at XXXX. It broke the promise with me who is client and who has waited over weeks for a long time and work hard to make a payment for low credit utilization to purchase something very important for my kids in the near future.. Navy federal XXXX their client XXXX XXXX for over a month.. Navy federal credit union knows that how much important credit score and utilization for XXXX life and family. My supporters who are more than millions of XXXX, XXXX, XXXX Americans, all veterans who has served Americas freedom and I request Consumer financial protection bureau to instruct Navy federal credit union President/CEO to response to this urgent case ASAP.

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

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 someone hacked my bank account with navy federal. They filed a dispute on my transactions and sent the money to their self. Navy federal didnt notify me of this situation nor did I get any text messages letting me know what had happened. I contacted navy federal and filed a fraud claim on my account. Navy federal then closed my account and told me I would be held responsible for the transactions that I did not authorize. I explained to navy federal that I didnt authorize those transactions and my account must have been hacked. I was told it could take up to a year to hear something back and if they deny my claim that I would be held responsible for the negative balance. So someone can just steal my money and get away with it and I have to be held responsible. Navy federal has a policy that covers any funds that have been taken from customers. Navy federal made me feel as if I was a villain instead of a victim.
