Issue: Dealing with your lender or servicer
Subissue: Trouble with how payments are being handled
Consumer Complaint: After several weeks of money being in my checking and savings account with Navy Federal, there was a random adjustment on my account which left me with a balance of {$0.00}. When calling to clarify why this occurred I was told that it was due to a charged off student loan. When I asked about more information on this student loan I had no record of on my Navy Federal account page or credit report, the representative said the only way they've tried to contact myself and my cosigners is through phone. Neither my cosigners or myself have received any phone calls about this particular loan, given I am still in college, so there was confusion why I needed to start paying back the loan while I was still in school anyways. The representative hung up in my face when she couldn't provide the proper answers to my questions about this loan I have no record of. I asked for a reported fraud and investigation in a later phone call back. On XX/XX/XXXX I received my paycheck but noticed that when checking my account, it was adjusted again and my entire paycheck was gone. I called Navy Federal that morning informing them that the money adjusted was for my rent and car note and needed to be reversed because I did not authorize anyone to deduct from my Navy Federal account. I was transferred to the private loan company in which they informed me that 1 ) They would not reverse the transaction 2 ) They acknowledged that they had notes that I wanted an investigation for fraud, yet did not follow through and 3 ) They would continue to pull all funds deposited into my Navy Federal account although authorized to stop. Through all phone calls I have yet to be updated about this private student loan, they have yet to give me a remaining balance or loan number, and they refuse to help me understand why representatives cant give me any information about the loan other than its charged off.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX I contacted my credit card company ( NFCU ) and reported fraud charges that were made in another country. I was in the USA at the time of these charges. My current balance at this time showed {$5800.00}. I was told there would be a temporary credit and once investigation was complete the credit would be permanent. The amount of the fraud is about {$2400.00}. However, today my balance in still {$5800.00} NFCU has not credited my account to reflect the fraud therefore will be reporting inaccurate information to the credit bureaus.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX XXXX submitted a home loan application at your XXXX Navy Federal Branch with Ms. XXXX ( XXXX ). She provided excellent customer service but every encounter thereafter was less then professional. XXXX advised us the we would receive an offer letter within two weeks of submitting the loan application. Using the XXXX provided all requested documents on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We did not hear anything from Ms. XXXX for over a week. My husband called and emailed her several times. After three weeks we finally received a call and email correspondence on XX/XX/XXXX, stating that a decision was made and to return her call to go over the decision. My husband spoke with her and she advised him the the loan was denied and she did not provide specific details regarding the loan denial. She merely stated that we had to many delinquencies in the past 12 months. My husband is a veteran and he served XXXX yrs. in the XXXX XXXX and we are both government employee 's. We have had a attitude of service for both the country and state of California but no one will serve him! Ms. XXXX XXXX did not provide information about were we could retrieve the information used to deny the loan. Her lack of professionalism with regard to timeless, providing information, and lack of customer contact throughout the process, made our experience horrible. My husband and I feel discriminated against because we were asked where we wanted to purchase our home, because he is paying {$740.00} per month in child support ( which will cease in XX/XX/XXXX ) and because my husband and I complained about her vigorously. We called the Navy Federal Branch manager and supervisor ( who we couldn't get on the phone ) who we left messages with requesting a return phone call. No one ever returned our calls. We submitted a written request for an appeal of the decision and yet again ; no correspondence, decision, contact, answered calls. As a matter of fact the phone number she leaves on her voice mail is disconnected. Call it : Her Cell - XXXX and the number she says to call her at XXXX ( disconnected ) We will be reaching out to the State Attorney General 's Office to see if any laws have been broken and to request some mediation/resolve. We would love to here from you.

Consumer Complaint: I requested a 5 year amortization. Navy Federal Loan Officer XXXX XXXX refused to let me have a 5 year amortization and insisted I could only have a 15 year amortization. Navy Federal also had a promo he pretended not to know about. I submitted a complaint and requested a different loan officer. Navy Federal equity loan department did not honor my request and did not assign me a new loan officer. For over 2 weeks their dept. has kept it as the original loan officer XXXX XXXX. I called again on XXXX and spoke with a Supervisor in the equity loan dept. named " XXXX '', number XXXX. XXXX also did not switch me to a loan officer. Instead of complying with my repeated request for a new loan officer to be assigned, he kept talking to me about me submitting paperwork. He continued to argue with me that I should return the loan application paperwork, and continued to not assign me a new loan officer and now I am filing this complaint. XXXX XXXX should be fired for trying to deny me the promo, and not signing me up for the promo as the notes on my application stated I wanted. He also tried to bully me into a 15 year amortization instead of 5 year amortization. Navy Federal specifically told me on the phone that I could have a 5 year amortization, and he tried to deny that. XXXX, should also be fired for arguing with me about loan paperwork and trying to convince me to return loan paperwork when he was not complying with my request for a new loan officer to be assigned.

Issue: Opening an account

Consumer Complaint: This was a few years ago when I was a XXXX or so in the XXXX. I had fell for a loan scam where the scammer asked for my banking info to input funds. like a dummy I fell for it and who ever the guy was deposited fake checks in my account and my account ended up restricted or whatever. I called navy fed then to solve the issue, they did conduct a investigation and said I was at fault for depositing the checks. In which I DID not the scammer did. They never went into detail about anything. Im disappointed in how they treated the manner. Even though I didn't deposit the checks I figured I pay the amount of what it was, to see if I can get my account back. So I called the bank and talked with the charge off department, and the representative told me as long as I paid the amount I can open a new account in which I was really happy about, because I love navy federal. So I paid them the amount only for the security team to tell me I can't open a account, which made me upset. So I get scammed from some XXXX on the phone ( which I take full blame for ). For a check that I guess went through ( my access was restricted so I couldn't see ) and I can't open a account/account restricted? What happened to protecting the MEMBER? Did y'all even verify my signature?

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Credit Union is not providing validation to verify that three separate accounts belong to me. I will be uploading the considerable correspondence that has occurred regarding : ( 1 ) an auto loan ; ( 2 ) a credit card ; and, ( 3 ) an additional account that has not been clearly described in any written communication. I am requesting your assistance because when I wrote to secure the copies of the agreements for these alleged debts and a payment history to verify the amounts owed, I received a letter ( which I will be providing to you via upload ) saying that this information had been provided to the credit bureaus and that I should seek validation from the credit bureaus. I do not believe that this response is in accordance with the provisions regarding consumer rights under the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act. I believe Navy Federal Credit Union has this information and that their following comments are inappropriate and inaccurate : " We have investigated your claim and found the account information we furnished to the credit reporting agencies is accurate and that this debt is a valid debt owed to Navy Federal. If you wish to pursue this matter further, you may submit your dispute directly to the credit reporting agencies. '' I am hoping that you can intervene and help me secure the information I am seeking. I believe that Navy Federal Credit Union is the appropriate resource to provide validation.
