Issue: Closing on a mortgage
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Aloha, I have called USAA four times since XX/XX/2019 all relating to an inquiry for all digital copies of complete mortgage loan documents executed by USAA for my records and easy reference. My call on XX/XX/XXXX eventually escalated to the Office of the CEO for unknown reasons, and multiple people from that department have subsequently reached out to better understand what I need and more specifically wanted to know why I needed them ( latest call received XX/XX/XXXX from USAA Office of the CEO ). Again, I clearly restated my requested, confirmed addresses in question and asked when I could expect my request to be fulfilled. I was told it would be researched and they would get back to me. After a week of not hearing anything, I called in today XX/XX/XXXX to inquire about my documentation. I spoke to an XXXX ID # XXXX in The Office of The CEO, who ultimately stated that my case was still being researched ; and when asked who was working my file, what notes were reflected in the system, and the chain of people who have been handling my case thus far, I was told varying reasons from her on her ability not disclose said information to USAA needing to " protect my account '' by not disclosing that information to her inability to see any specific notes or persons working the case. So I'm to gatherThe Office of The CEO, who in part, handles grievances, conducts research and resolves complaints is incapable of tracking their own research or worse they are preventing consumers the access to their records in a timely and transparent fashion, which raises even more red flags. There is no reason why a simple request made on XX/XX/2019 should be this complicated, frustrating, and lengthly. I need assistance looking into this matter as soon as possible. Thank you.

Consumer Complaint: I have contacted USAA multiple times within the last seven or so years pertaining to my inability to make any transfers. Being that I have been a USAA member for twelve or so years, I was confused and until tonight XX/XX/19 I never received any information pertaining to why. I applied for a loan and I was denied, one of the reasons for denial was unacceptable banking behavior. USAA has repeatedly told me to call back in ten days and the report will generate with answers and every time I call back during said timeframe its either not generated or closed out. In the near future, Im applying for a mortgage and this marking on my credit file is hindering. Its been way over seven years and I never was contacted about fraud activity nor participated in any fraudulent activity.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XX/XX/2019 I was overcharged by a taxi for a fare of approximately 50 SGD that processed as {$390.00}. I was not provided with a receipt and I was unaware of the overcharge when the transaction was conducted. After reviewing my credit card statement, I filed a dispute for the transaction. However, the investigation concluded that no billing error occurred. I subsequently requested that the investigation be reopened and for more documentation detailing the results of the investigation, but I received no response.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement
Subissue: Card was charged for something you did not purchase with the card
Consumer Complaint: I have had a secured XXXX XXXX card with USAA for about 4 years. I am also currently living abroad for work. I recently checked my messages on the website and noticed that the {$35.00} annual fee was past due. The card statement said that this was due XX/XX/19, so I paid it. Several days later the card was closed. I called to ask why on XX/XX/19 and they said because I did not pay the annual fee. I saw in the statement that I had, so I asked them to reinstate the card or refund the {$35.00} I paid as they did not provide the service I paid for. They said they would do neither of those and I asked for a call back from a senior banking specialist as they would not let me talk to them over the phone at that time, and I have heard nothing since then. It seemed simple and obvious to me to either provide the service they took the money for, or refund me the money, but I cant seem to get help from them, so I am requesting your help in resolving this.

Subissue: Fee problem
Consumer Complaint: In XXXX I noticed that USAA charged me a fee " Excessive Trans Fee '' in my savings account for almost {$60.00} I contacted USAA via the chat in the USAA App and spent a long time waiting for any answers. USAA will not give me a refund because of Regulation under Federal Regulation D. Why would the federal government make a bank charge me a fee for using my savings account? This makes no sense, this is causing me a lot of stress and anxiety. I don't know why I must spend so much time correcting this mistake that USAA is blaming to their benefit on the federal government. Please communicate in writing only no phone calls.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Subissue: Transaction was not authorized
Consumer Complaint: On or about XX/XX/15 I transferred {$250.00} into my checking account to cover the highest balance and most past due of my two credit cards in the amount of {$250.00}. This left a remaining slightly late balance of {$150.00} due on the other card and it was agreed between myself and the USAA Special Debt Solutions agent on the phone that rather than have them auto debit the payment ( because of the inability to change, modify or cancel payments they create and the problems that caused in a previous transaction ) I would check back in approximately a week and make the payment manually. Unfortunately the medical issue that caused me to become severely late in the first place earlier this year reoccured and I was immediately hospitalized for an additional extremely long period of time and only within the past two weeks. Upon my return it was discovered that USAA had gone ahead and auto debited the {$150.00} from my checking account without my permission, force overdrawing the account which remained overdrawn without my knowlege or ability to correct it for an extended period of time because I was hospitalized yet a second prolonged period of time. Subsequently USAA closed and charged off my checking account that they unlawfully caused to become overdrawn and now they refused to fix the issue they caused in the first place. Ironically this is the very same group within USAA that is responsible for the class action that USAA just settled with the Consumer Protection Board and is exactly the same type of behavior that got USAA in trouble to begin with. It's vividly clear that USAA has not learned from their punishment and continues to engage in the same unlawful practices. When I was made aware of what caused my account to be closed the agent I was working with attempted to contact the USAA Special Debt Resolution unit that had unlawfully forced the ACH payment in the first place. They told her they would only reverse it if they could speak to me directly. She noted the account in great detail and then transferred the call. XXXX # XXXX then took over the call however instead of working with me as promised to reverse the unlawful charge he immediately went into trying to collect on my two credit cards. When I stopped him and said wait a second, you told the other agent you were going to take care of the charge and the only way you would do so is if you could talk to me about it and now you refuse to talk about that at all opting instead to discuss my other accounts he completely denied telling the original agent this however the calls are recorded and she clearly documented the conversation between all parties. XXXX # XXXX flatly lied to the originating agent for the sole purpose of getting her to transfer my call to him. In the end the call was terminated and he was nofitifed there would be consequences for his dishonesty. Dishonesty and unlawfulness that apparently runs rampant in his department. This group appears to be have been given carte blanche within USAA despite being the cause of the most recent two Class Action Federal Complaints.
