Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Consumer Complaint: A savings account was opened at a Navy federal credit union by someone whom stole my identity.To be a member of NFCU You must be current/former military and or be sponsored WHICH MEANS THIS PERSON CAN BE TRACKED DOWN.They also open account without verifying just whom a person really is, meaning the account was opened online with NO SS CARD AND A ACCOUNT ASSOCIATE STATED NO PICTURE ID. That is very disturbing and ONE SHOULD HAVE TO SUBMITT PHOTO ID, of AND SS CARD # .They also claim im not entitled to any of the documents used to fraudulently open the account the LAW SAYS DIFFERENT THAT I AM ENTITLED AND I am the victim being treated like XXXX.When there business practice in opening accounts is questionable at best. I may have to hire a lawyer im afraid as i want answers as per how this was done. My wallet was stolen bout 5 years ago by a former XXXX veteran but we could not prove it..NFCU may posess A ID with the man whom stole my wallet at work we could not prove he did it but we knew he did it.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX, after coming back from a XXXX, I realized I was missing some of my XX/XX/XXXX travel pay. When I discovered my XX/XX/XXXX travel pay was placed in a wrong NFCU account, due to a mistake in account numbers, that led me to discover my XXXX travel pay ( from a move from XXXX to XXXX XXXX was placed in the wrong account as well. I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ( XXXX ) and they sent a letter of indemnity on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, regarding my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment and my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment. NFCU returned my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment. However, they did not return my XXXX XX/XX/XXXX payment, totaling {$2600.00}. The trace number for the aforementioned amount is # XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX, I reached out to the XXXX. XXXX Legal Assistance Office, they helped me get another XXXX letter of indemnity. Again, the {$2600.00} was denied. I filed an Inspector General ( IG ) complaint in XXXX and received another Legal Assistance Attorney in XXXX after the previous one XXXX. That attorney, XXXX XXXX XXXX, arranged a three-way phone call with NFCU and myself also on the line and XXXX XXXX facilitating. The representative at NFCU confirmed that they were able to see the mix up. The representative on the line confirmed the XXXX letters of indemnity and XXXX XXXX letter of indemnity. The representative gave XXXX XXXX a new fax address to send a letter of indemnity in her legal capacity. However, after she sent the XXXX XXXX Legal Assistance letter, on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, on XXXX XX/XX/XXXX I called NFCU and they replied that they would not accept XXXX XXXX letter of indemnity, it had to be from XXXX. On XXXX XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX reached out to XXXX for a third and final letter of indemnity. XXXX only does two letters of indemnity, but they allowed an exception. However, this time NFCU came back saying there were insufficient funds and that the account had been closed. If youre reading this complaint and thinking, well she should have kept track of her money better. Rest assured, that I am beating myself up with that refrain already. But from a consumer standpoint, if NFCU told me where they saw the error, they have the trace number, and they saw that it went into the wrong accountit seems that the next step would be returning the money. Instead, NFCU has initiated bureaucratic roadblock after bureaucratic roadblock, saying I need another XXXX letter of indemnity when Ive already sent two on my behalf, telling my Legal Assistance attorney the wrong fax information, and conceding that they see the account transcription error when I call them. I feel like Im getting runaround. Through multiple XXXX and moves, I wrote the wrong account number down and only realized it in XXXX. I know {$2600.00} might be a drop in the bucket to NFCU, but its a lot of money to me.

Issue: Problem with a purchase shown on your statement

Subissue: Credit card company isn't resolving a dispute about a purchase on your statement

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Credit Union is refusing to help me regarding an overcharge for an XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, without my knowledge, consent, or even attempt to inform me, increased a rate that I had been paying for approx 7 months by XXXX the amount. After reaching out to XXXX several times and threatening a charge back, XXXX finally said they would adjust the charges. However, they did not provide the adequate refund, and still charged me approx {$400.00} too much, even after refunding a little over $ XXXX. As promised, I began the charge back process seeking the additional amount ( wasn't trying to get a reversal on the full amount, just the overpayment amount ). Because I was never even informed of, and obviously did not authorize ( no signed contract ) these charges, when NFCU asked for documentation to support my case, I told them I had none because how can I possibly have a copy of a contract that I did not sign?? NFCU refused to help me and even after contacting NFCU a second time, refused to help me. The following quote was my second contact attempt to NFCU, which they replied with a denial to help me. " You guys closed this dispute because I " did not provide documentation '', but I clearly stated that I did not sign a contract, so how would I have documentation of something I did not agree to??? I stated that if you requested a signed contract from the merchant, that they would not be able to provide one, since I did not sign one, so you guys turned around and asked me instead??? That literally makes no sense at all. This needs to be resolved ASAP, or I will be forced to contact the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. ''
