Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX My complaint : Navy Federal Credit Union drafted my checking account for {$540.00} on XX/XX/XXXX for a debt in my sons charged off checking account. My son and I have a joint savings account with Navy Federal. My sons checking and savings account was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX. I called Navy Federal today to ask for my money to be returned to my checking account and why would my checking account be effected because of a debt that has nothing to do with me and the Navy federal customer service rep as well as the supervisor in the Charge Off Department repeatedly told me because I was a joint owner on the savings account which has a balance of {$0.00}, and the money was then transferred to the checking account owned by my son only, his previous balance was {$5000.00} after my checking account from drafted his balance now is XXXX. I took my son to the police station back in XXXX to file a police report about the his checking account being defrauded by someone else because he lost his ATM card, and a check was deposited into his checking account. I called them back for a second time today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) at about XXXX and they let me know we were on a recorded line and talked with the customer service rep and supervisor but this time I was told a whole different story that the debt was now in his savings accounts which I am a joint owner on, but the debt owed had been in his checking account from XX/XX/XXXX until today according to the supervisor in the Charge Off Department. All the correspondence about XXXX XXXX XXXX Navy Federal checking account came to XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VA XXXX was only addressed to him not me. His savings account had and still has a balance of {$0.00} according to the customer service reps that I talked with on Saturday, XX/XX/XXXX and today at XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX. The information didnt change until I started to asked them repeatedly how am I legally responsible for debt in an account that is not in my name. I didnt know this was legal for them to draft my checking account to pay a debt that is not in my name. I just want my {$540.00} put back into my checking account. If you need more information please see my contact information below. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: I have been trying to open a business account since XX/XX/XXXX. I have been unable to because allegedly I have a past due balance on a personal account that was closed in XXXX. The alleged balance was charged off, but somehow still carries a balance. I have been requesting validation of this alleged debt every 30 days since XX/XX/XXXX. I have offered on numerous occasions to settle the amount owing in full upon their assurance in writing that they will provide me with the original instrument of indebtedness in its original form on or before XX/XX/XXXX. I repeatedly made these offers ; every 30 days to be exact. On every occasion, they have either overlooked or ignored my requests to exercise equity in redemption and by refusing to acknowledge that right, they have refused to accept payment in the process. That settled the matter legally and financially at XXXX hours on XX/XX/XXXX. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, the alleged debt is still there so I am unable to open my business account. With no valid documentation ensuring the alleged debt is 100 % verifiable and 100 % accurate, this alleged debt does not exist. The CFPB ordered Navy Federal to pay $ XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for these same exact practices. It is obvious that those same exact improper debt collection practices are continuing today.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: I had an invoked power of attorney over my father who was deemed XXXX early in XX/XX/2018. I made dozens of calls to NFCU overseeing his accounts to prevent any more fraud and theft from occurring. I had a valid POA in place and the very person who had abused him financially was then allowed to take over his financial through a fraudulent document and phone calls by manipulating the system/him and calling in saying he wanted my valid POA to be revoked and to place her in control. They went with the criminal activity all along, which in essence is aiding and abetting crime. He was XXXX by two medical doctors, in a locked XXXX unit, and had no ability to make XXXX XXXX. NAVY FEDERAL should have protected his accounts by not allowing the theft to occur as I gave them all evidence prior, during and after the fact. I have continued to fight to get this money back that was stolen from my father and that NEVER should have been, had Navy Federal done their job. There is no way his financial documents should have been taken over and diverted, period. There is no question as to the FRAUD that took place. He was XXXX! My power of attorney was invoked to protect him. They not only did not protect him but have given me the runaround for the past 7 months trying to dispute this. Credit Union NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION Desired Resolution They need to take responsibility for allowing a XXXX XXXX adult who was in a locked XXXX to be the victim of upwards of {$20000.00} in theft by a known perpetrator. They need to refund his account as they ALLOWED the theft to occur. They did not do their background check and erroneously took part in this crime and argue that he should be held responsible. While this is not technically Identity theft per se, it is similar, as the person who stole form the account holder impersonated herself as some one who should be given the POWER of Attorney under false pretenses. She knowingly and willingly knew she was not to touch any of his financial accounts. She had just been deemed to have exploited him in a state investigation for elder abuse. This was all conveyed to the NAVY FEDERAL credit union, along with phone numbers and documented paperwork. She in no way had any notarized power of attorney, had not revoked mine and no authority to take over his funds and steal from him. The fact that NFCU is in my opinion a crime, as I worked tirelessly to protect him and what they did is not only help the perpetrator but force me to get an emergency court injunction, adding thousands of dollars in legal fees.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 received a direct deposit check from my employer. Within a few hours upon the deposit, the bank just auto deposit one for {$120.00} for my car loan and {$150.00} for my credit card.

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems

Subissue: Add-on products and services

Consumer Complaint: I had a ( NFCU ) Navy Federal Credit Union GoRewards Master Card that I open in XX/XX/XXXX and had enrolled in their Payment Protection Plan sold and enrolled by ( NFCU ) Navy Federal Credit Union and administrator by XXXX XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and had maintain coverage during the life of the account the cost for coverage was {$.00} per every {$100.00} of the monthly balance. The program was sold as a insurance program offered by NFCU that covered death, disability, and or involuntary unemployment. Details are that this coverage would make the monthly payments during the coverage event and its duration and would pay off the account balance as a full debit cancellation in the event of death and or disability. In XX/XX/XXXX I was involved in an auto accident that caused me to become XXXX and unable to work and return to work I was on XXXX and XXXX until XXXX XXXX and Under Social Security Administration I was deemed XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and because eligible for XXXX benefits. XXXX had some delays in benefits award and payment and wasn't resolved until XX/XX/XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX I initiated the claim and again resubmitted medical information on XX/XX/XXXX for that claim. I had file a claim through NFCU and its payment protection plan serviced by XXXX. According to some records, XXXX and NFCU applied some payments under the plan that were in consisted with their payments and coverage from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and then close the claim with no reason and in breach of the terms and conditions and coverage that was offered. NFCU further the breach of this sold and paid for service by pursing addition financial account charges and fees in addition to the negative reporting of the account and collection reporting and actions on this account when it was a coverage event under the terms it was sold and purchase to me and the debit was to be canceled by NFCU and XXXX under the XXXX debit cancellation coverage program. NFCU and XXXX failed to provide the service sold and purchase under this plan, coverage, and benefit for cardholders and members. Which is not only a break in contract but also a violation under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( Reporting Inaccurate Information ), the consumer protection act ( Providing a level of protection as their customer, and being billed for services that are not being render ), fair debit collection practice act ( Collection on a debit that isn't correct ), Fair Credit Billing Act ( Billing and Charge for services that were not fully render as agree ) and possible other regulations. This issue has gone unresolved and the debit has yet to be cancel as per the terms of the program. I have some supporting documentation to provide in regards to this matter.

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: Over the course of six phone calls, I've attempted to amicably resolve the dispute with Navy Federal Credit Union. With continual requests for additional information, the requests not being provided in a timely manner, the situation culminated when XXXX with Navy Federal Credit Union security called me at approximate XXXXXXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and threatened me with bodily harm and death. The initial charge for approximately {$450.00} was made in XXXX with XXXX XXXX, a political sign manufacturing company. After many jobs having gone wrong previously with the company, I requested a refund for one of the projects which had gone wrong. I disputed the charge with Navy Federal Credit Union and the company has taken an unacceptably lethargic approach to resolve the dispute. After many weeks of back and forth communication with Navy Federal Credit Union, I provided Navy Federal Credit Union with every possible shred of evidence that the XXXX XXXX company had provided signage that was delivered with unacceptable damage and quality control issues. Today, XX/XX/2018, I sent final documentation to Navy Federal that they've requested with information that I'd sent the merchandise back to the XXXX XXXX company, as XXXX XXXX revoked online access to my online ordering account and refused to continue communicating with me by email. After sending the final requested documentation to Navy Federal Credit Union, I provided final warning that if I could not solve this amicably, I would be forced to pursue this matter in small claims court. It was later that evening that I received a threatening phone call from XXXX on the security team. I'll have to file a police report, as Navy Federal has access to personally identifiable information that would endanger my family if XXXX followed through on his threat of bodily harm and death.

Consumer Complaint: Im filing this due to the fact I've tried several times to reach out to understand why I have paid over XXXX in fees ... One recently call the agent stated, '' The System don't lie '' and I felt like that was slap in my face.
