Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Froze my accounts on XX/XX/20 without any type of notifications. The company failed to send me an email, Text, or Phone call to inform me About anything. After attempting to use my debit card that was declined, I provided a call to the Navy Federal on XX/XX/20. After calling to see why the debit card was declined, A representative informed me that the company placed a freeze on my accounts for security purposes. The Company is requesting proof of ID and residents. Ive provided this information to the company multiple times prior to the incident. Ive yet again submitted the information to the company and they have yet to unfreeze my accounts or release my funds to me. This is unexceptional and action needs to be taken ASAP!

Today XX/XX/XXXX I received a email from Navy Federal stating that they are unable to grant me membership due to not being able to verify my identity how is this possible when my account has been open for months if my identity couldnt be verified they would have requested that information well before opening an account for me, I feel as if this is a stall tactic to keep my accounts frozen for no reason at all I explained the situation in my first complaint Navy Federal is trying to cover their tracks they are liars and I would never wish this treatment on anyone about their own money in their account how do you just freeze someone account with no explanation as to why I will have my lawyer involved in this matter immediately a rep begin asking me personal questions like what am I spending my money on I dont have to disclose this information to you all what give you the right to ask me that question

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

Subissue: Can't stop withdrawals from your account

Consumer Complaint: Filed dispute on a fee for {$110.00} due to funds sent in error to an unknown source. I alerted NFCU of this error, and they opened up a dispute, however, denied because they said that the error was my fault. They also stated that they will not credit me back the lost funds and have never done so for any member ever. Is there a way to prove this is correct as I have mentioned this case to others and they have received a credit back. I have since closed my account with NFCU due to the lack of member support I received in the matter.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: I received a letter in regards to a mortgage my husband has through Navy Federal Credit Union. According to a conversion ( in which both my husband and I were privy ) last week the mortgage is current showing no delinquent status. However, my husband and I received multiple letters claiming delinquently, threatening negative credit reporting, and foreclosure. These letters ( over 5 ) sent via first class and certified mail where mailed to an incorrect address. When contacted Navy Federal stated they had the correct address on file, and they did not know why the letters where mailed to the out dated address. This is either a case of malfeasance or malpractice, and either is not acceptable. Threatening to damage ones credit, foreclose on a home, all while sending notice of such actions to an incorrect address is deeply troubling. Navy Federal has been authorized and entrusted to assist Veterans and Active duty military members navigate home ownership using VA loans. I am concerned that the organization has grown too large, too quickly to competently manage Federal loans especially VA loans. My husband and I spoke with Navy Federal regarding the status of this loan last week. I called again today about letters mailed to me ( see attached ). I spoke with XXXX on a recorded line. The call was initiated at XXXX EST and documented and time stamped for this complaint at XXXX EST. XXXX was unable to explain why certified letters threatening negative credit reporting, collections, and potential foreclosure of a property where mailed to an address no longer on file rather than the current address.

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: A merchant has provided inaccurate information about their products. Once the merchant has sold me the products, I went home and starting to try the products ; however, I started to experiences side effects. The merchant told me that I would not. I then asked the merchant for a full refund, which they did not give me. Then I contacted Navy Federal to resolved the issue. They then advised me to give the merchant the product back, so it does not seem like I am trying to keep the products and get my money back. I did that. I called to check the status and they stated that I needed confirmation of receipt. I had to fight with the merchant to get the confirmation of receipt because they would not provide that. Navy Federal told me that they would not process my request because I did not have a confirmation of receipt. I finally was able to get the confirmation of receipt and submitted the documents through the portal. Navy Federal has informed me that they would not give me a refund because of the information that the merchant has provided to them. However, the merchant has provided me a partial refund in the amount of {$190.00}.
