Consumer Complaint: Hi on XX/XX/2019, I purchased a used car through XXXX of XXXX in AZ and tried to buy GAP insurance since its finance thru USAA. I was told that per the Military Lending Act since I am a XXXX they cant sell it to me. I tried to buy one through USAA but they do not sell them anymore. This MLA is hurting the military service members unnecessarily. I told them this only applies to active duty not weekend warriors but they said it does. Is that true? XXXX XXXX XXXX wont sell the GAP. Thanks.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 I attempted to purchase tickets for a XXXX XXXX concert from a seller on XXXX. The seller sent me a screen shot of the tickets, which matched the description on XXXX and advised that he would transfer them to my XXXX account upon receipt of payment. I used XXXX, which is available within my USAA mobile banking app, to send {$180.00} to the seller 's email address : XXXX. The seller, with whom I was communicating solely via email through XXXX, then stated that he was was not seeing the payment and asked that I try again. I immediately became suspicious, sent him a screen shot of the transfer confirmation from my USAA app, and asked that the seller immediately transfer the tickets to my XXXX account. The seller stopped responding and I knew it was a scam. I promptly called USAA and asked that the transfer be reversed. A ticket was opened to investigate the disputed transfer, but I received an email on XX/XX/2019 stating : " Thank you for your patience while we investigated your Send Money transaction dispute below : Dispute date : XX/XX/2019 Disputed amount : {$180.00} Recipient 's name : XXXX XXXX Transaction date : XX/XX/2019 Transaction amount : {$180.00} Confirmation number : XXXX We've completed our investigation and determined an error did not occur for the following reason : XXXX is a personal money transfer service and does not provide purchase protection. The transfer was completed as requested and any dispute must be resolved with the user to whom you sent money to. If you have questions or would like to request copies of the documentation or information we used to make this decision, please call us at XXXX ( XXXX ), our mobile shortcut # XXXX or XXXX. We value your business and the opportunity to serve all your financial needs. '' Having now researched the matter further on my end, I understand that the major U.S. banks are all offering and promoting XXXX as a money transfer service, but are failing to provide any purchaser protection. As a result, XXXX has become inundated with scammers and fraudsters. The banks must know this and are failing to protect their customers. I find this unacceptable and ask that the CFPB investigate the matter and take action. There are a number of ways the banks can protect purchasers who use XXXX, including not releasing funds to the recipient until confirmation that goods/services were delivered.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account information incorrect
Consumer Complaint: USAA has been incorrectly reporting the balance of a prior loan on my credit report in the amount of {$8400.00}. They have been reporting the incorrect amount owed. Plenty of notices have been sent to them to dispute this issue and they have still not corrected this. Reporting false information, which in this case is misrepresenting the amount owed on a loan, a violation of FDCPA. Also, they translated that misinformation to a 1099-C. The loan balance that they have been reflecting on statements for over a year now is {$8300.00}. Filed a FDCPA complaint on XX/XX/2019 and received a response XX/XX/2019. In that response, they noted that XXXX XXXX spoke with me regarding this matter. That is incorrect. We spoke regarding a separate complaint regarding my credit card and trying to have the late fees waived. No one from USAA has reached out to me regarding this matter and they are falsifying communication records between them and myself with their last statement to the FDCPA for complaint # XXXX. I attempted to email XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/2019 as well as this evening. USAA is continuing to report false information. They changed my payment history on this account after three years on my XXXX report on XX/XX/2019. Also, my complaint submitted XX/XX/2019 # XXXX has inaccuracies in their response. Their representative XXXX XXXX did not contact me about two CFPB disputes. On XX/XX/2019 she contacted me solely about my closed credit card account and the dispute related to that account. This account and the corresponding dispute was not mentioned. Also, they advised to contact XXXX XXXX, but I have already tried on multiple occasions with no success. On XX/XX/2019, XX/XX/2019 and XX/XX/2019 I emailed USAA to complain about XXXX XXXX reporting to the CFPB that she contacted me regarding the account when in fact she did not. They have yet to respond. The call that took place on XX/XX/2019 needs to be pulled so they can see that XXXX XXXX blatantly lied in her original response to the CFPB on XX/XX/2019. The email included XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX sent me a communication via the USAA application with his direct extension, XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 I responded asking for a good time to call. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX responded with his office hours. On XX/XX/2019 I called, left a voicemail, as well as sent a message via the application. On XX/XX/2019 I called, left another voicemail and sent another message via the application. On XX/XX/2019 XXXX XXXX responded that he was out of the office when I had contacted him previously and will return XX/XX/2019 at XXXX a.m. On XX/XX/2019 I sent a follow-up message on the application. On XX/XX/2019 I called, left a voicemail and sent another message on the application. Not once did I receive a call from XXXX XXXX or any other representative of USAA for this previous dispute.

Consumer Complaint: USAA Savings bank is still showing a XXXX credit card open on my credit which belongs to my ex husband. I have been divorced for 5 years, my name was to be removed from this account per court order, which I believe was taken care of at that time. I do not have access to this credit card, nor have I used this credit card, however my ss # is still tied to this account as it is affecting me. I have called USAA whom claims I am not on the account, I have disputed this record on my credit with XXXX and the negative credit is still effecting my score. I have asked for it to be removed and no actions have been taken on behalf of USAA Savings bank.

Consumer Complaint: Two deposits were made today {$470.00} and one for {$410.00}. XXXX USAA is withholding {$680.00} of those payroll checks. I tried to resolve with going to a supervisor to no avail. I believe it is illegal to keep that much of a payroll check I would like to issue an investigation into this situation. It is not the first time funds have been held with no rhyme or reason or consistency in their policy.

Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: After a review of the documentated comments and a statement that was sent to me from USAA on my previous complaint XXXX, I have this dispute according to my files back on XXXX XXXX @ XXXX I spoke to a young lady XXXX XXXX reference to a {$100.00} XXXX XXXX taken from my son 's card when she told me it was on overdraft charge I stated we did not want that card used for overdraft fee that it was my son 's emergency card and need for that purpose and his Dad 's name was on it as a co signer as he was trying to form some credit rating. Again after this conversation, another cash advance was taken for the same issue and I spoke to another representative XXXX about this, there is no way my husband could have approved using this card in this manner as he was out of state and did not have the card in his possession at that time. I feel that we are being taking advantage off and I'm sorry if someone didn't do there job on that end but how is that our fault when we spoke to someone twice concerning this. I want another complaint sent to USAA so we can get this cleared up. Have a great day

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Subissue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Consumer Complaint: I spent almost 2 hours trying to pay in full my mothers car loan with USAA today XX/XX/19. First I talked to the estate department ( which by the way is useless, I can see their only goal is to collect money which I was trying to do but they would not take it ) then they had me on hold for 30 minutes to transfer me to the loan department. After being on hold for 30 minutes I hung up. Then I called the loan department. They put me on hold for 30 minutes to transfer me to the estate department. When I spoke to the estate department they told me I had to pay off the loan with the debt collector XXXX. This is where I have a real problem with this process. When I spoke to XXXX a few weeks ago they told me I would not get the title for 60 days. The estate department was sure to advise me that there is no coverage on the car unless I am using it for estate business. So USAA is holding me hostage with a car that I will have paid off and that I can not register and get insurance on and therefore can not drive, since I dont have a title. This is not fair and is not right. I had a car loan with USAA and when the loan was done I got my title in 2 weeks. I would think that when someone dies USAA would like to actually be helpful instead of a hinderance and then people would want to do more business with USAA since the process is easy.

Subissue: Problem with rewards from credit card
Consumer Complaint: XXXX and XXXX XXXX signed up for the USAA Cashback Rewards Plus XXXX XXXX Card that advertises 5 % cashback on the first {$3000.00} ON BASE, 2 % on supermarkets up to {$3000.00}, and 1 % all other purchases no limit. We made 5 purchases all on base, and the first three cleared ( 2 x commissary and 1 x shopette ) and was not paid 5 %. In fact the shopette purchase appears to to have been paid 1 % and the two base commissary purchases at 2 % ( default for grocery ). On XXXX XXXX, XXXX contacted USAA on chat and phone only to be told that the merchant code for the COMMISSARY that is clearly part of the transaction name is " grocery '' and so they won't honor 5 %. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX contacted USAA on chat and asked for an example of a merchant code that WOULD qualify as an on base purchase and they said they can not provide. I suspect that USAA knows there is NO merchant code that actually signals an on base purchase and thus they will NEVER pay the 5 % cash back up to {$3000.00} because the merchant codes are reported by the actual store. Additionally, USAA is a military oriented company. The commissary, shopette, and exchange are common to EVERY military member and their families. If they are a company that requires military affiliation, but then can't understand that almost ALL commissaries, shopettes, and exchanges are ON BASE then they are clearly roping service members in only to not uphold their end of the deal. *Details of the program and links are included in the attachment

Consumer Complaint: I am having multiple issues with an USAA account that was over drafted by unauthorized usage on an account where I am an authorized user and not an authorized cosigner. The account was used without my knowledge or my fathers knowledge and is being reported as a defaulted collection. I have taken a police report and included it to company reporting data. I have asked for an investigation into the matter and an affidavit as well a complete listing of charges made on the account. No investigation or documentation was received. I have asked multiple times to have the matter reviewed.
