Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: I have escalated this issue several times. They have assured me that my account I will get paid a day early after the VA send them my XXXX. That is not true. It is based on the account that I have. They have consistently made it extremely difficult to understand which account I am on and which type of account actually gets the benefits that they are talking about. This has never been resolved, they blamed me for not being in the right account after they set it up incorrectly at first. I have been in the wrong type of account this entire time. It as exacerbated my physical and mental wellbeing in a profound, negative way. They said, as a courtesy, they post it on Saturday. That is not a business day. Why not Friday? Their online calendar is extremely misleading, making me believe I get paid earlier than I should, leading to $ XXXX of overdraft fees since I have been with them. I spoke with XXXX, a supervisor, on Friday XXXX. She didn't know anything and then hung up the phone. As of this message, I do not have my money because it will post on a " Saturday? '' I have never understood how or why they post my check earlier, but only sometimes.

Issue: Fees or interest

Subissue: Charged too much interest

Consumer Complaint: The credit union charges every month interest in cash point, plus the interest for the amount use on the card, then insurance which I think is unfair to the consumer, as opposed to that fee covering the pay back amount.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Creditor has reported my loan account charged off for {$2000.00} and {$1400.00} past due as of XXXX XXXX with a status date of XX/XX/XXXX. All payments were made and the balance shown represents late charges PLUS INTEREST on those late charges. The attached loan disclosure reveals the late charge is {$29.00} BUT the disclosure does not give an interest amount on late charges. Thus, the creditor is in violation of the Truth in Lending Act. Potential lenders viewing my credit report will assume that I did not make the monthly payments and the charge off is due to this failure rather than a dispute as to interest charged. Additionally, the creditor has ignored my numerous requests to differentiate between the late charges which I am was willing to pay and the interest amount included with the late charge balance. According to the Fair Credit Billing Act, I was not required to pay the disputed amount and can not be penalized for withholding payment for amounts in dispute. Creditor 's report to the credit bureau that my loan account was charged off violates the Fair Credit Billing law.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I have previously submitted a complaint to Navy Federal Credit Union on XX/XX/2021 ( Complaint ID : XXXX ) about denying me an extension of my own credit. As stated in 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( a ), it shall be unlawful for any creditor to discriminate against any applicant, with respect to any aspect of a credit transaction. An adverse action, as defined in 15 U.S. Code 1691 ( d ) ( 6 ), is a denial or revocation of credit, a change in the terms of an existing credit arrangement, or a refusal to grant credit in substantially the amount or on substantially the terms requested. This further supports the fact that I was discriminated against and violated as a federally protected consumer under Title 15 Chapter 41 and that it is unlawful to deny me an extension of my own credit. Navy Federal Credit Union has not replied to any complaint that I have submitted and has surpassed the 30 days of investigation into this situation. I DEMAND that this issue be resolved as soon as possible and that the remedy I ask for is fulfilled.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Difficulty submitting a dispute or getting information about a dispute over the phone

Consumer Complaint: To Whom it may concern, My personal bank withdrew a payment from my checking account according to the date the payment was to post to the biller, with sufficient funds to process the payment requested. My bank, NFCU, uses XXXX to process payments, and according to NFCU XXXX did not produce the check timely to the biller, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the payment was requested to be sent to. For example, the payment was withdrawn from my NFCU checking account XX/XX/XXXX, the payment due date to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I was notified by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the payment had not been received. I was in contact with NFCU, who could not explain the reason XXXX did not process the check to date. NFCU refunded my XX/XX/XXXX withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX, as well as refunded the late fee XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX assessed to my account. On XX/XX/XXXX, after receiving the refund from NFCU, I submitted the payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX for the XX/XX/XXXX late payment as well as the late fee incurred. To avoid any delay in payment, payments were processed to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, using their online portal. I received a letter of Good Faith from NFCU, XXXX to submit to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX the biller. After the letter was submitted by myself, and NFCU, to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX requesting acceptance of the Good Faith letter to lift the credit reporting delinquency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX would not accept/process the Good Faith letter to where NFCU indicates they were to deliver the payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX by XX/XX/XXXX. After numerous calls to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, the delinquency remains on my credit report. Please note the Good Faith letter from NFCU CheckFree/Fiserv notes my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account number under my name. A request was made to where I asked assistance from NFCU months later, asking they further reach out to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, identifying the error of payment was on their part, with no avail. Due to the lack of cooperation from both banks, this reduced my credit score to the point I was unable to co-sign for a student loan for my child 's second year of college in the fall of XXXX, which was not an issue the year prior due to a good credit score. NFCU was advised of this adverse event caused by their delinquency of processing my payment timely, to where no further assistance was provided on behalf of NFCU to clear this matter. I am providing bank records, showing adequate funds were available at the time of the request to process the payment from my NFCU checking account according to the date requested to pay XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. In addition to providing those documents, it's noted in my bank records where NFCU refunded the requested payment from XX/XX/XXXX ( for the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX payment ) as well as refunding the late fee XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX charged to my account. Documents included in the submission will also show a snapshot of my XXXX report showing an excellent payment history ( no delinquency ) with this lender, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as XXXX XXXX XXXX statements reflecting those payment corrections within a timely manner after the issue was identified for that time frame.

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/2021 I deposited a money order in the amount of {$490.00} into my business account at Navy Federal Credit Union in XXXX, SC. XX/XX/2021, I received a letter from navy federal saying my money order was returned. I then called XXXX XXXX to see what the problem was. XXXX XXXX told me my money order was cashed because I deposited into my account already. I was charged an overdraft fee because of it as well. Navy federal keeps responding with refer to make and when I do nothing is being done. I am getting very frustrated.
