Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2021 I was made aware that checks that I wrote from my XXXX XXXX account on behalf of my non-profit organization, the XXXX XXXX XXXX, were stolen out of a blue postal service mail box in my neighborhood on XX/XX/XXXX, altered, and cashed for fraudulent amounts. While I have only ever written checks to Farmers Market vendors from that account for small amounts ranging from {$5.00} to {$150.00}, the following transactions were approved by Navy Federal Credit Union as they were deposited into accounts in that bank : check # XXXX to XXXX XXXX for {$900.00} check # XXXX to XXXX XXXX for {$950.00} check # XXXX to XXXX XXXX for {$950.00} It is very clear from the check images that my original signature was not used and that they were tampered with. I filed a police report with the XXXX Police ( report # XXXX ) and the police confirmed there have been many cases of this fraud happening and I was not a singular case. I also filed a report with the U.S. Postal Service Inspector General, and filled out a fraud/forgery investigation form with the bank. The Postal Inspector 's information is below : XXXX XXXX Postal Inspector - Mail Theft U.S. Postal Inspection Service Washington Division XXXX ( Desk ) I have asked about the status of having my stolen funding of {$2800.00} refunded back into my account so I can fund my farmers market operations, and XXXX keeps informing me that I need to have some further evidence of what the original amounts on the checks had been before Navy Federal Credit Union will reimburse XXXX, and then XXXX would reimburse me. I have told XXXX that my records show that I wrote the checks in alphabetical order ( 9 were stolen and only 3 were deposited ) and that would mean the original amounts and payees were as follows : XXXX 's XXXX - {$92.00} - XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$10.00} - XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX - {$10.00} - XXXX All of vendors confirmed that they never got the checks I had originally mailed them. But Navy Federal Credit Union is telling XXXX I need more evidence, which I simply can not produce because I wrote the checks quickly and did not mark them in a check register. XXXX believes that NFCU is asking for " unreasonable evidence '', which means they want an image of the check before it was altered. Why would I have that? Do people regularly take pictures of checks before they put them in the mail? I need help pushing this forward in order to continue to fund my farmers market operations and it seems to be at a standstill where Navy Federal Credit Union does not want to pay for the fraudulent account that they held for XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I believe other evidence would be to look at all other checks I have written on behalf of the market to review handwriting as well as notes - I have never written a check for " Labor, '' for example, and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is not employed by the XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with the interest rate

Consumer Complaint: I was pre-approved, signed documents, and picked up a payment voucher for an interest rate of XXXX for 60 months with Navy Federal Credit Union for a new automotive purchase up to {$35000.00}. The pre-approval did not specifically state it had to be a car. After I purchased the motorcycle, I got the finalized loan documents stating my interest rate now jumped from 2.69 % to 8.90 % for a loan amount of {$27000.00} and my monthly payment jumped from a little over {$400.00} a month to {$580.00} even though my documents show 2.69 % and I did not agree to or sign any paperwork for 8.90 %. I called Navy Federal and they stated since I bought a motorcycle and not a car the 8.90 % was the best they could give me. Now I am stuck with a loan at a higher percentage with a monthly amount that I can't afford and I can not return the motorcycle to the dealership. This puts me in financial hardship that I did not create myself. This is very misleading and fraudulent behavior from the credit union to provide you approval and have you sign documents agreeing to a lower percentage then later having you involuntarily commit to paying a significantly higher interest rate for their profit.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX @ XXXX. I reached out to the company to inform that I had lost my job due to COVID-19 XX/XX/2021. I wanted to be proactive before my payments were late. I explained I had been doing XXXX XXXX and XXXX until I found another position and unfortunately had to max out my credit cards to stay afloat. I informed I had found a position but won't get my full paycheck until after XX/XX/XXXX and asked for the payment to be pushed to XXXX. The first representative was extremely rude and lacked empathy. She offered a repayment plan which would have cost me more interest instead of the extension. I have never been late on my payments even when I lost my job I still made sure my navy federal debit was taken care of but with my wife the only one working we are starting to lose footing and I turned for help but the representative treated me as I was asking for too much by skipping two months. I requested a supervisor so that I would not be rude which was a dead end as the supervisor hung up on me. When I called back he then refused my call stating he was in a meeting. The 2nd representative was a little more empathetic and gave me an extension until XX/XX/XXXX but that still doesn't help my situation just puts me in a more stressful one since every XXXX I make will be put on the debt and I will be without money until the end of the month. This is not how I envisioned being a member and needing help. It was already a struggle to go from making XXXX per year for something out of your control to driving XXXX and XXXX just to stay afloat. And to be treated that way is disheartening when I wasn't in collections.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: Thank you for taking the time to help out with this matter. I have been a NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION member for more than 5 years and It saddens me that I may need to close this account due to my human rights and as a consumer, infringed on. I have asked NAVY FEDERAL to provide me with my ORIGINAL negotiable instrument, yet I was sent copies. I have sent a NAVY FEDERAL number certified letter, with return green slips. All have come back ; still no response. The goal was to find, verify and validate my current agreement, making sure I am paying for something that is not a tax or interest incurred, or my contract being sold days after my purchase. My negotiable instrument has been destroyed confirming with a NAVY FEDERAL representative phone call in XX/XX/XXXX. I have waited longer than three months for a response. While I wait, I still am faced with damages considering fraudulent reporting to creditors, stopping any transaction that needs my credit report. NAVY FEDERAL continue willingly ignore me, FCRA Section 623 CUSHMAN v. TRANS UNION CORP. US COurt of Appeals for the Third Circuit Court case 115 F. 3rd 220, to not update inaccurate information on my act and to third party credit bureau 's, failed to respond to ALL of my letters, FCRA Section 611 Part ( A ) ( 1 ), and continue to misrepresent themselves and power. FDCPA Section 809 ( b ), FTC opinion letter XXXX from XXXX. Under 15 USC 1692A, B, C, D, E, F, G, AND, J were broken. All in all, as a consumer my rights are still being infringed upon, my financial standing has taken a toll for now the worst due to this negligence.NAVY FEDERAL continues to claim they are the true lien holder, I have claims and evidence that I have no liens against my name. The solution I am demanding is back pay of lost finances, taxes, and interest incurred on my name from trades on my name, total closing of my account as well as my vehicle loan. on said account or totaling my loan out to XXXX $ as well as refund of all taxes, interest, incurred from trading on my name, IMMEDIATELY. I thank you for your time. XXXX
