Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Other problem

Consumer Complaint: In the summer of 2018 I received an email from USAA, my credit card company stating there had been a change completed to my account. Once I logged on, the company had reduced my credit limit from {$18000.00} to {$2500.00}. They said they ran a random check of my credit report and lowered based on the score. Now, this is not a brand new card. I've had and used this credit card my entire adult life ... Well over 30 years. I never have had my credit lowered by any company. In addition, I know I had taken a hit on my credit score so I wanted to improve my income to debt ratio. I paid off my entire balance with USAA in 2018. My balance was approximately {$14000.00}. Due to the company lowering my credit limit, it lowered my credit score drastically. Thus, as I have been actively working to improve my credit score, USAA continues to thwart my efforts by lowering my credit limit. It completely affected my income to debt ratio, which is why I paid off the debt completely. I could still be running a balance with USAA and they would not have touched my credit limit. I believe USAA is manipulating it's credit to it's members. I had USAA for my homeowners insurance and I dropped their coverage. Shortly after this, they lowered my credit limit. Since my credit limit was lowered by over {$15000.00}, I've had to work to try to improve my income to debt ratio. {$2500.00} was not much for me to use. I have newer cards where I was automatically given a {$5000.00} credit limit. Twice as much as USAA authorized for a 30 year member. It was improving my income to debt ratio. This weekend, USAA continues their deliberate attacks upon my credit again by lowering my credit limit to just {$500.00}. This time it is for non-use of the card. This is ridiculous. I've been with them for over 30 years. It's probably been close to a decade or longer where I had a late payment. I still have their auto insurance. My payments with my other accounts are on time. Actually, my payments to all of my accounts are listed as 99 % on time.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: I have a checking account in Usaa Federal Savings bank. Someone is attempting defraud me by submitting a W9 form which doesnt allow me to access my checking account information using the USAA mobile app. It stops me from seeing my checking account on the mobile act. The USAA isnt a law enforcement agency. It is blocking me from access to my account. I have contacted them and notified them they are denying my access. They wont provide me information. They should be held liable for their actions acting in a manor contrary to the law. I would like copies of who submitted such a request and what funds they are inquiring about. Someone is attempting fraud upon me. USAA is acting as an agent and should be held capable. They have recorded audio calls where I have verified my identity and they recognize me as XXXX XXXX XXXX. I have a right to due process yet they continue with this illegal and unlawful behavior!

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Overdrafts and overdraft fees

Consumer Complaint: I have had four NSF fees of {$29.00} charged to my account. Two on XXXX, the third on XXXX and the fourth on XXXX. All of these fees were from my account going into overdraft ; however, poor money management and budgeting were not the reason why. All four of these fees were from my account going into overdraft because of other, outside companies, incorrectly charging me. My bank, USAA, will not return the fees and refuse to do anything about the situation even though their fees were often the cause of the overdraft etc.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive notice of right to dispute

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX, I received a $ XXXX personal loan from USAA that offered a low interest loan to new military officers. I paid on time every month however got behind around XX/XX/XXXX however still made small payments ( less than monthly minimum of about {$450.00} XXXX. Without warning or negotiation, my loan was closed/charged off with an approximate balance of $ XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. USAA stated that the loan account was 120 days past due however I had been making payments each month, even if it was not in the amount specified ( always over {$400.00} ). I called and was told by a rep, I could only adjust my payment one time for the life of the loan. Once I missed that one payment, the next months payment amount was upwards of {$800.00} and it continued to go up from there. I made an approximate {$400.00} payment toward that balance for that month. The following month, the balance amount was {$800.00} and I again made an approximate {$500.00} payment which would bring the next month payment to {$700.00}. USAA then sold my loan to an UNLICENSED collection company, XXXX, who has multiple lawsuits against them for fraudulently collecting money. They are not licensed to collect in Georgia, has an F with the XXXX XXXX XXXX and has had several complaints about them. Unbeknownst to me when I communicated with them, I made 2 payments of {$400.00}. None of which, ever went to my USAA balance. It was basically thrown down the drain. XXXX also continued to contact me AFTER a cease and desist letter ; harassing me continuously. After I sent a letter to XXXX, USAA then sold my information to a second company who is similarly fraudulent. USAA was negligent in selling my information to TWO companies that are not legitimized and illegally collecting money in a state they do not have a license to collect in. The other issue is, I had an XXXX card with a $ XXXX limit, {$500.00} balance as of XX/XX/XXXX, also with USAA ; including countless other accounts such as multiple checking, savings, auto insurance, and stocks. I have also paid the XXXX card on time, and was about to pay off in full as I was attempting to clean up my credit. XX/XX/XXXX, I discovered USAA had used the Service members Civil Relief Act ( SCRA ) to " credit '' the remaining ~ {$500.00} balance and close the XXXX credit card! I qualified for the SCRA when holding the card and that was never offered to me or explained. When speaking to multiple USAA reps on the phone, I was told, my XXXX credit card was closed because it was a " business decision '' based on my loan that had recently closed - even though I was never late on that credit card. The USAA representative told me there were forms sent to my account inbox stating the closure of each account. I never received any documents or assistance as a loyal customer. I have been a member for close over 10 years. Recently, ( XXXX ) this debt has resurfaced into affecting my military XXXX XXXX XXXX clearance. USAA has informed me the loan is no longer theirs and they have already claimed it as a loss. So the debt is now in limbo.and I am possibly facing repercussions in the military career and personal credit. I was consistently making payments toward the loan and was not informed nor clear that this would close my account or remove my XXXX XXXX credit card.
