Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I had not used my checking account in a very long time. Maybe a 7 to 8 months. I had less than {$10.00}. In the account and the bank never took funds. However I put money in my account so I could pay my mortgage. Soon as the funds was put in they took the {$800.00} Without warning. No notification sent to my phone. Normally I get a notification for everything from this bank. Randomly took the funds and said it was because of a credit card that was closed a year ago. The funds are not put back, they did not care the funds was for my mortgage. Now I'm a month behind. When I trusted a bank to protect me. They go and do this. I really needed that money. Now I have to figure out what I'm going to do to try and pay my mortgage, food ect. Why take funds now? Why not take funds the other months? Waited and took money causing a hardship

Consumer Complaint: I filed a claim with Navy Federal Credit Union and my local police department. XX/XX/ Saturday morning I noticed fraudulent charges on my debit card.

Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage

Subissue: Changes in loan terms during the application process

Consumer Complaint: We applied for a NFCU VA mortgage on XX/XX/XXXX after locking in a mortgage rate of 6.125 %. I had shopped with 5 other lenders and NFCU was the cheapest by a full point so we were happy. We provided everything requested by our loan officer within 24 hours and he told us he had zero concerns about financing and we would be approved. We both have XXXX credit scores, have been XXXX XXXX for 20 years, and our tax return showed an AGI of around {$270000.00}. Additionally we have zero debt and are outstanding credit risks in absolutely every way. On XX/XX/XXXX, after hours on a Friday night, we received an automated denial email. We were unable to speak to anyone until Monday, when we were told that NFCU had to make a decision within 30 days and the underwriters needed to go home on Friday and since they didn't have everything they may have needed that they issued a denial. I had last spoken to our loan XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and he told us he had everything they needed so far and if the underwriters needed anything he would let us know. We were shocked at the denial. We immediately asked for an appeal, then we were told that the underwriters said we showed a monthly loss of {$25000.00}. This is ridiculous, our tax returns clearly show this is not true. The underwriters were deducting depreciation and showing it as a loss. I sent them the language from the XXXX XXXX for lenders that stated " Depreciation shall be added back into income '' and " Lenders are encouraged ot make VA loans to all qualified Veterans who apply ... .Underwriters must apply reasonable judgment and flexibility in administering this important Veteran 's benefit. '' NFCU then sent me a screenshot of my supposed loan application. I immediately noticed several errors, including incorrect phone number, incorrect address, incorrect LLC dates, {$25000.00} loss, etc. I let them know I had never seen this before and I didn't know who filled that out. The next day I logged into the NFCU portal to look at the application again, and it was different from the screenshot NFCU had sent me. Clearly someone at NFCU was modifying our loan application without our knowledge or consent. I have attached screenshots of both versions so you can see this for yourself. At this point we were {$10000.00} into sunk funds paying for appraisals, non-refundable earnest money, etc. so we offered to put 20 % down on the VA loan. While it wasn't our first choice, it would retain the 6.125 % interest rate. NFCU denied that, but offered us a loan for 5 % down at 8.250 % or 20 % down at 7.375 %. When we finally received our official denial letter it stated that we had an incomplete credit application ( we had NEVER been told this, in fact we were told all along that they would let us know if they needed anything else. I believe they stated the application was " incomplete '' because they ran out of time with the 30 days ) ; and that we had insufficient income for the amount of credit requested. This is ridiculous. I make {$150000.00} a year and my husband makes {$180000.00} a year. They had our taxes showing AGI of {$270000.00}. We asked for a loan of around {$910000.00} and even offered to put 20 % down which would take it to around {$730000.00}. It is ludicrous that NFCU denied us for a VA loan with 20 % down but offered us a conventional at 5 % down. The only difference is the interest rate. We ended up not getting the house, and losing the {$10000.00} due to NFCU.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I received this Garnishment Notification : " Navy Federal received legal notice of CHILD SUPPORT ORDER in the amount of {$24000.00}. If you don't have the funds necessary to cover this amount, your account will be frozen immediately. To resolve this matter, contact CALIFORNIA DEPARTMENT OF CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES at XXXX and reference case number XXXX. '' I contacted both parties and informed them that this had to be a situation of fraud and requested they both do a thorough investigation before proceeding with assisting with fraud, identify theft, securities fraud, breach of fiduciary duties and tort violations against me by high jacking my funds. I never got a call back from either party, only an email : " {$7900.00} was withdrawn from your XXXX XXXX account ending in XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. '' This left me with {$0.00} to my name. Then had the nerve to notify me that next day that my account was overdrawn, and I'd be charged a fee! I immediately informed Navy Federal that an unauthorized withdrawal had wiped out my bank account. Upon transferring me to the Levy Department, I was informed that NAVY FEDERAL AUTHORIZED AND MADE THE WITHDRAWAL ON MY BEHALF based on the letter sent to them, from the California Child Support Division stating I owed them money for unpaid child support. I told them it was fraudulent, and they are in violation and asked them to return my funds. It was the middle of XXXX and XXXX season, and I need to pay my bills, rent, and use that money to complete a project that was underway and near completion. On top of that, the project was out of town, and this would immobilize me and my small business. The Navy Federal representative told me there was nothing they could do about it because I should have paid my child support. I informed them that I had never been to California and don't have any kids in or from California. I asked for the proof that was gathered from the investigation, showing this debt, lien, and levy to be valid. I was told it was valid because it came from " the government '' in the form of a letter my accounts would be frozen until the said amount was paid in full. In XXXX of XXXX, The Refund Disbursement Check was sent to the Navy Federal Corporate Office, but they returned the check and told them to send it to my personal address. I requested Navy Federal to return the funds electronically since that's how the funds were fraudulently disbursed from the start. They told me it was out of their hands, and I'd have to wait on the check to arrive and deposit it into my account. Here we have clear evidence of, but not limited to : Fraud ( constructive ) - in the sense of a court of equity, properly includes all acts, omissions, and concealments which involve a breach of legal or equitable duty, trust, or confidence justly reposed, and are injurious to another, or by which an undue and unconscientious advantage is taken of another. Malice - In the law of torts, malice means a wrongful act done intentionally, without legal justification or excuse, and with the knowledge that it will cause injury or damage to another. - In the law of libel and slander, malice means an evil intent or motive arising from spite or ill will, personal hatred or ill will, or culpable recklessness or a willful and wanton disregard of the rights and interests of the person defamed. Gross Negligence- in banking is a term that refers to the professional negligence or misconduct of a bank or a banker in their dealings with customers or clients. - A lack of care that demonstrates reckless disregard for the safety or interests of others, which is so great it appears to be a conscious violation of other peoples rights or duties. Gross negligence is a heightened degree of negligence representing an extreme departure from the ordinary standard of care. - Failing to verify the identity or the authority of the person who requests a transfer or a withdrawal from a customers account, resulting in unauthorized or fraudulent transactions. - Breaching the fiduciary duty or loyalty to the customers or clients by acting in their own interest or against the customers or clients best interest. The results of these actions led to a great season of turmoil : 1. Utilities were shut off in XX/XX/XXXX. 2. Evicted in XX/XX/XXXX. 3. Breached contract for not completing the project upon the agreed time causing me to lose what had been put into the project, ( time, travel, resources ) and final pay, which was approximately {$45000.00}, XX/XX/XXXX. 4. My fianc called off the wedding accusing me of lying, cheating, and having a child in California that I didn't tell her about, XX/XX/XXXX. 5. Ruined personal and business reputation causing loss of opportunities.
