Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX Was calling in since they closed my account down for fraud - was speaking a XXXX at the time, during the convo she said we need to open a new account, We were doing that all of sudden she stops and says " I am no longer allowed to speak to you please take your ID Into a local branch and verify you are XXXX '' I asked her what the heck happened she refused to speak to me. I asked to speak to a manger, XXXX said the info I am getting is not adding up. Everything I said was adding up. It is the fact that I am a XXXX and my voice does not match the correct pronoun, because of this they locked me out of my account. Because of my voice, this is 2020 I should not have to disclose personal private info about my gender to a phone rep and have my account locked because of this! I am so dishearten by this bank that I am 100 % switching on Monday. Disclination at its finest.

Issue: Getting the loan

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX someone took out personal expense loans. One for {$9900.00} and one for {$32000.00}. I was unaware of the loans when Navy Federal Credit Union sent me bills for each account. My accounts were hacked into around the same time as the loans. I have resolved getting most of the money back but Navy Federal Credit Union said that I am responsible for the two loans. I never applied for, signed any documents or qualified for the loans. Two people involved in the hacking were actually NFCU accounts holders that did a Member to Member transfers from my accounts into theirs. I did file fraud paperwork on XX/XX/XXXX with the Fraud Unit and filled out paperwork and sent it to XXXX unit. My biggest complaint is why am I having to pay back loans that I didnt apply for. The loan payment on each loan far exceeds my monthly income.

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: 1. I applied to Navy Federal Credit Union XXXX NFCU XXXX for a refinance loan for my home. In working with Ms. XXXX XXXX, an agent and/or employee of Navy Federal, I wanted to be as transparent as possible, I declined an appraisal waiver that was offered and sought an appraisal of the value of my home ( hereafter appraisal ). 2. In a phone conversation, Mr. XXXX verbally communicated that the cost ( fee ) for the appraisal would be {$490.00}. ( offer of verbal contract ) 3. NFCUs Ms. XXXX stated that I could not hire my own appraiser for this service, as NFCU policy was to hire an appraiser for the processing of the loan. 4. I agreed that the {$490.00} for the appraisal could be applied to my Navy Federal Credit Card. ( acceptance/agreement to verbal contract ) 5. As Ms. XXXX and I agreed to the appraisal and the cost and the method of payment, she applied the charge to my credit card. 6. I paid the fee for the appraisal in advance of the service being performed. 7. The transaction date of the charge to my credit card is indicated as XXXX 2020. The date that the charge posted was XXXX 2020. The price of {$490.00}, as agreed, was charged. 8. Subsequently the appraiser contacted me to arrange a date to view and appraise the property. She stated her name as Mrs. XXXX XXXX. We agreed that XXXX 2020 would be acceptable to both of us to conduct the appraisal of my home. 9. According to the Virginia Department of Professional and Occupational Regulation ( DPOR ), Mrs. XXXX holds an active license for Real Estate Appraisal. She is a Certified Residential RE Appraiser a. Name : XXXX XXXX XXXX, bXXXX Virginia License Number XXXX c. License Description Real Estate Appraiser dXXXX License Status Active e. Rank Certified Residential RE Appraiser f.

According to theXX/XX/XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX SCC ), XXXX XXXX XXXX is the registered agent of, LLC XXXX entity ID XXXX ). 11. The registered office of Mrs. XXXX Capital City Appraisals is 6.3 miles driving distance ( using a map software ) from my house. 12. The principal office address of Mrs. XXXX Capital City Appraisals is 17 miles driving distance ( using a map software ) from my house. 13. The appraiser, Mrs. XXXX, arrived to the property on the agreed date and time. She arrived with a male partner, whose full name I did not record. The man stated that his name was XXXX and he was a contractor. There is a XXXX XXXX, who holds a valid contractors license with DPOR and at a common address with Mrs. XXXX. 14. I escorted the Mrs. XXXX through the interior of the house. Her partner, XXXX, collected measurements and information of the exterior of the house. They collected the information that Mrs. XXXX deemed necessary and required to fulfill the task. 15. Mrs. XXXX did not indicate that she did not intend to complete her task. Mrs. XXXX. They departed with all questions answered. 16. Ms. XXXX contacted me to explain that the appraiser had declined to complete the appraisal. 17. During this conversation with Ms. XXXX, she told me that Navy Federal would credit {$390.00} of the {$490.00} cost for the appraisal in good faith. The difference was explained to be a trip charge. 18. I was uncertain of what a trip charge consisted and why it was being assessed. 19. We agreed to deposit the funds into my account at Navy Federal. 20. {$390.00}, of which Ms. XXXX spoke, was deposited XXXX 2020 into my account at Navy Federal. 21. I did not receive the service for which I paid, which was an appraisal for {$490.00}. Even with the good faith deposit, I was left with a trip charge for {$100.00}, for which I did not ever agree to pay. 22. The appraiser willingly declined to complete the task, for which Navy Federal had collected payment from me. 23. I reconfirmed the location of the appraisers locations from the Virginia DPOR and SCC. If traveling from the closest location, Mrs. XXXX is 6 miles or approximately 12 minutes away from my home. 24. After reviewing the transaction, deposit, and appraisers location information, I do not agree with the cost of the trip charge. Therefore, I dispute the trip charge. a. I did not agree to pay Navy Federal for a trip charge when I agreed to pay for the appraisal. b. I did not agree to a trip charge when I paid my funds. c. I agreed to pay {$490.00} for an appraisal, which the appraiser declined to perform after traveling to the property. d. The desire to decline to produce an appraisal is not an action or fault that I caused. e. This was a willing action that the appraiser chose to decline to perform the task for which I had paid. 25. The only agreement that I have with Navy Federal was a verbal contract, an agreement to pay {$490.00} for an appraisal to be performed of my home and to obtain a copy of that appraisal. I paid the fee. The appraisal was not generated. Navy Federal credited {$390.00} back to me and deposited this into my account. I dispute the trip charge of {$100.00} as there is no basis for the charge.

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: There was an unauthorized account opened in my name. I've tried disputing this information with no luck from Navy Federal Credit Union. I completed all of the necessary steps in order to have this information blocked from my credit report and have my credit reporting statutes enforced. All of this information was submitted to Navy Federal and they refused to block the information. I called Navy Federal in XX/XX/2020 with an XXXX representative asking what do I need to do to resolve this issue. They stated I could pay the balance off in order to have the negative information removed. I paid Navy Federal the entire balance due. Once the balance was paid I called back a week later inquiring the status of this information being blocked. Navy Federal stated they could not remove this unauthorized account because it shows a payment made on the account. The payment was made on my part because I followed their instructions in order to have this resolved. My score has dropped nearly 100 points due to this issue. It has caused me a great deal of stress while currently XXXX. Please assist me with having this account removed from my credit profile.
