Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I had a Charged Off loan with Navy Federal and was able to settle this debt in XX/XX/XXXX. The amount was settled for less and was agreed to the {$2400.00}. I have a written agreement from Navy Federal that I have satisfied my debt on this loan and there would be no further action needed on my part. I have contacted XXXX on this matter and there's no resolution and made me go to creditor. I have also called them and they insisted that I " wanted to pay '' the debt, when in reality I wanted to inquire about re-establishing an account, not opening an old debt. I received a FICO notification XX/XX/XXXX saying that I owe in the amount of {$4500.00}. They re-opened this charge off that was settled because I Inquired about " re-establishing '' my membership with them. This is now on " bad collection debt '' and has severely affected my credit profile. I no longer owe this debt due to settlement and needs to be deleted all together as it has affected my other creditors relationship and are threatened with closure.

Issue: Took or threatened to take negative or legal action

Subissue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

Consumer Complaint: Navy Federal Credit Union falsely threatened legal actions, falsely threatened to to contact my commanding officer, misrepresented credit consequences of falling behind on my loans, and illegally froze my accounts from XX/XX/XXXX - XX/XX/XXXX. The CFPB ordered them to pay the members for Improper Debt Collection. This is my second complaint because I made a mistake and put the routing number and not my account number.

Issue: Getting a line of credit

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I'm a veteran and open a saving and checking account with Navy Credit Union. I also open a money market account. I deposit several thousands and requested to get a personal loan for XXXX. I have excellent credit and no challenges. My debt to ratio is extremely low and have paid all accounts as described. I also have enough income to cover the loan amount. I questioned the desired amount and it was 12k less then what I asked and I still would need to place 3 % down. I question the amount with phone rep and she turned the conversation around and attempted to stop my interaction by phone or in person with Navy Credit Union. Presently I cant speak with teller at bank or by phone and I have money in Checking and money market account. They refused to allow me to do business with them and I cant enter bank to address anything about my account or by phone. I'm still seeking clarification why my loan requested was denied. Since there no reason for the denial.

Issue: Problem with cash advance

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Earlier this year Navy Federal credit union did an unauthorized transfer from my checking account to an installment loan without notifying me. This resulted in checks that I previously written being returned for non-sufficient funds. Navy Federal then charged me a NSF returned check fee, when the reason there was not sufficient money available and the returned was because they took it upon themselves to make an unauthorized transfer out of my checking account without notifying me. Then Later they completed another unauthorized transfer from my checking account to a revolving line of credit as a payment. I did not authorize this transfer either and was again not notified. That and that unauthorized transfer over-drafted my checking account. Most recently Navy Federal yet again did an authorized advance from my line of credit to my checking account to cover the overdraft that they caused In the first place, and the bogus fees that also were a result of their bad business practices of transferring money between customers accounts without notification or authorization. The unauthorized draft that they did from my line of credit account put my line of credit over its credit limit of XXXX

Issue: Getting a line of credit

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have been a customer of Navy Federal Credit Union for 6 years. They continue to take advantage of veterans using unfair business practices and misleading information. I did a lot of research for getting a debt consolidation loan and collected my balances, income information, and various other documents in order to apply. When I applied online, I was not given the option to even provide this documentation and was automatically denied by their automated system. Usually with banks they will at least evaluate the situation in order to find the best solution. Instead I was just treated not like a person at all. After contacting the bank they refused to work with me, or hear my case out. I've had several issues with Navy Federal over the past 6 years and feel like they take advantage of veterans by advertising they specially cater to them when in reality they don't.

Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Bought sight unseen before my husband was XXXX here in Texas. We hired an inspector, who recommended hiring a structural engineer to double check foundation -- structural engineer cleared foundation stating it needed " no fixes ''. We closed XX/XX/XXXX and not even a few weeks later started to notice doors swinging open and some not locking. My husband XXXX to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and by XX/XX/XXXX we had an estimate by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX when they let us know our foundation was in horrible shape and recommended taking action against the structural engineer because the foundation didn't sink over 5 inches in even a year and was definitely in not okay shape when we bought. On XX/XX/XXXX I hired XXXX XXXX XXXX to give us a second opinion estimate about our foundation and had to bring out a plumber out the same exact time because our washing machine drain was " clogged ''. XXXX was very upset the house ever passed inspection because it is now 8.5 inches sunk over our kitchen and laundry room and this had been exacerbated by the drought, but this absolutely was in horrible shape when structural engineer came out. XXXX took me around my house and showed me places the seller tried to hide severe foundation issues -- replacing roofing shingles, putting siding over entire fireplace brick wall that is pulling away from home, placing rooking shingles and tar on foundation to cover cracks, putting 2 thin boards on top of brick column that holds up roof to make it level, cutting bottom of doors throughout the home to have them clear the tiled floor ( the estimate to fix was {$42000.00} ). The Plumbing company that came out also on XX/XX/XXXX took less than a minute to walk into my kitchen and realize it is my foundation crushing my plumbing that is causing easy blockage in the pipes, they flushed them to try and help me, but they also told me that soon the plumbing would be compromised completely ( estimate to fix is ~ {$10000.00} - {$20000.00} ). On XX/XX/XXXX I hired XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX, a licensed structural engineer to take a look at our house and he was furious the house ever passed ANY kind of inspection, either visual or in depth. After receiving his final report he stated that entire fireplace brick wall is a hazard and at risk of collapsing in the next few years, there are severe drainage issues throughout home, the roof distress ( hills in the roof structure ), the brick column with 2 boards holding up the corner of the front porch roof is HOLLOW which is a building code violation, front door is not parallel along with many of the doors in the house. Also, the seller 's disclosure is incorrectly filled out, which listing agent did not catch and should have seen. I called Navy Federal Credit Union on Monday, XX/XX/XXXX to discuss the issues with the transaction, the evidence of fraud and negligence that should have eliminated the property for a home loan and their only response was " it's a legal issue that doesn't deal with Navy FederaXXXX and you need to talk to the VA. '' I have been in contact with XXXX XXXX, agent at the VA Loan Guaranty Dept, for several weeks about this issue and he stated " Good afternoon XXXX, Thanks for sending these documents over. We have also requested a copy of the loan file from Navy Federal as well. As I mentioned to you when we spoke, Im not really sure how we can assist in this situation but we are willing to review the loan file and documents you have provided. It would seem that the issues on this loan should be addressed directly with either the Structural Engineer or your Realtor. '' I have already discussed this with an attorney and the structural engineer has no fiduciary duty to us because we didn't directly pay him, and I am in the middle of filing a complaint with Texas Real Estate Commission against the listing agent. I have also been in contact with XXXX XXXX at the Inspector General 's office and he mentioned the VA Loan Guaranty Dept should be helping in this situation and so should my bank especially when I have evidence that the home never met the Minimal Property Requirements for a VA loan. Thank you
