Issue: Closing your account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Last summer in XXXX ( I dont have the exact day ) I made a payment of roughly {$800.00} to Navy Federal for my credit card which was intended to bring the card current after being behind on payments. The money was available in my account and the payment was confirmed, then it was returned back to my Navy federal checking account. Because the payment was sent back, it did not register my account as current anymore. In the subsequent months, the card continued to accrue late months and the card was closed. I was unaware of the card closure until XXXX when I checked my credit report. I stopped making payments again because I didnt know what to do when a card is closed. I was under the assumption that I could no longer make payments on the card. Ive called numerous times about having the card reinstated as it was an error that led to the closure. Ive also asked if at the very least, navy would remove the late payments, but Im always advised that navy does not do this although Ive seen them do it for others. Im currently under some type of repayment assistance and paying down the balance, but because the card was closed, I can not use it. Theyve also reported the cards {$10000.00} limit to the credit bureau so it is registering as I have XXXX available credit for this XXXX card but over XXXX in debt so my utilization has increased to 900 % and my score has taken a XXXX point hit. Ive sent a certified letter to them in regards to the late payments at the very least & requested for my card to be reinstated numerous times over the past year since the late payments are due to some sort of system generated error after payment processing. I am 100 % sure the funds to make the payment were available in the account and the reason for closure was the late payment that eventually led to the account being past due XXXX days. Ive inquired about reinstatement numerous times but Im always told Navy doesnt reinstate cards unless it was their error. This is an instance where it was their error. Either way, I have to pay the balance down, but with late fees, interest and the original principle usage, it will take time to pay it down. My credit score is in shambles because of what the closure did to my utilization. Navy has been an amazing bank to me and I want to mend this but this credit card mix up has taken quite the toll on me.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: I opened a checking account in XXXX XXXX with Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ), deposited {$25.00}. I was informed that restrictions were placed on this account due to results from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX. I disputed the results through XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/, the reporting agency. My bank confirmed that I was not liable and XXXX later notified me in writing ( and provided a copy of the updated report ) that the reported item was removed. On XX/XX/, I received a letter from NFCU stating they " requested the removal of the disputed information. '' However, the restrictions were not lifted ; and therefore, I can not access my account. I called the NFCU toll-free line on XX/XX/, requesting that the restrictions be lifted. My request was denied, and the representative stated that I needed to take the updated report to one of their branches ( 30 mins away from home ). I opted to call XXXX to inquire about how they report the updates and they stated that there is a live database that NFCU should have access to review the updates. I called NFCU back on XX/XX/ and learned they were unaware of this database. I took the updated XXXX report to NFCU on XXXX requesting restrictions to be lifted. The representative stated that she was unfamiliar with this kind of case and contacted two next-level representatives, who could not help. I requested to close the account instead. This request was denied. I requested information for filing a complaint twice before receiving contact information for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). I was not provided a direct contact for the institution to file a complaint. The representative also communicated with the manager, who stated that they needed the dates of my phone calls to their toll-free numbers in order to escalate. I provided this information. I was also directed to the security department, which MAY be able to help me. There seems to be no protocol to address my issue, and they are withholding my funds even though I submitted proof of the updated report from XXXX and provided them with the letter they, NFCU, sent me.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/, I XXXX XXXX, applied for a XXXXXXXX Navy Federal unsecured, revolving credit card. I was denied and received an email stating their denial and that they will send out a letter stating why I was denied. Adverse Action letter was never sent out to my home address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is in direct violation of Equal Credit Opportunity Act 12 CFR 1002.9 " A creditor must notify an applicant of action taken on the applicant 's request for credit, whether favorable or adverse, within 30 days after receiving a completed application ''. They did, however, send me advertisements which discouraged me from applying to another one of their credit cards and have also sent me a letter stating that I am now an authorized user on my father 's Navy Federal Credit Union 's credit cards. The fact that they are sending me propaganda is also in violation of ECOA 12 CFR 1002.4 and further shows that this is not a case of inadvertent error or technical, printing error or any other technicality otherwise implied. Navy Federal has been able to send me without any problems other postage but negligently failed to send me a proper adverse action letter as mandated by consumer law. I have sent them on XXXX XXXX XXXX more than 30 days later certified mail with a return receipt hardcopy of a Notice of Failure to provide Adverse Action letter. I am attaching a scanned copies of this letter on this complaint form with certified mail receipt, as well as the propaganda sent to me recently, and the letter stating that I am an authorized user on my father 's credit line.

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

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: Booked a car rental through XXXX, they never sent any confirmation number but they did debit my account. A few weeks before the rental date I reached out to them to request this information and they informed me that I was not in their system ( via email ). I filed a dispute with NFCU who initially credited me and had me send in the email, but their fraud department keeps claiming I didn't turn in the email although customer service can see it and I have 2 separate occasions where customer service confirmed receipt of the email on record. They closed the dispute today citing a lack of evidence. I believe their department is harassing me, either that or they're incompetent.
