Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Consumer Complaint: I have already filed a complaint against Navy Federal for the amount of the loan balance they put on my credit report. This complaint is for the how they said they would set up a payment plan with me and instead repossessed my car a week later after I did exactly what they asked and stayed in contact with them. I was not told my car would be repossessed and was under the impression they were going to help me.

Consumer Complaint: Around XXXX XXXX I contacted Navy Federal Credit Union for a loan for a dump truck. I was asked to issue a bill of sale in order for the bank to review the value of the truck and determine loan amount. The bank came back after credit checks and I assumed VIN check and approved a loan of {$33000.00}. We accepted and signed agreeing to the loan under XXXX XXXX XXXX. Upon Arrival in Mississippi to pick up the truck, we realized after being there for a few days that the sale was a scam and that XXXX XXXX XXXX was in the business of scamming people. We immediately tried to contact the bank but XXXX XXXX was out and no one else seemed to be able to assist me with the issue. I sent numerous texts and emails and made phone calls and no one tried to assist. When XXXX returned I explained in detail what I found out from the BBB, XXXX XXXX, and various other websites that the owner XXXX scammed many other people the same way. XXXX tried to help and we continued to make payment on the truck until XXXX XXXX. I made numerous calls to the bank and was told rudely by one woman in the business collections department that it was n't there problem. After a few more calls someone from the business department called and asked me to tell what happened so they can best help me. I was told that the loan should n't have been issued in the first place and that no one actually did a vin check to see the value of the vehicle. Upon doing a Vin check they found out that the truck was only valued {$1500.00} and that it would n't be worth them repossessing the vehicle. I was told I would be contacted about the next course of action. I started getting letters from the bank saying they will need to take further steps if the account was not brought up to date. I called the bank and told them I could not afford to make the monthly payment as the truck was not in our possession and that is what we would have used to make the payments. I was told that the collections process would have to run it 's due course and I would be contacted by their lawyers. I received a letter from Attorney XXXX XXXX approximately XXXX XXXX to call about the loan or they will assume the loan is mine. I tried calling the number on the letter and no one picked up. I sent the letter back explaining that I contacted the bank and that the whole deal was a scam. I never heard back from the lawyer 's office. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a letter thanking me for a payment I did n't make. I rushed to the bank only to find out the cleaned out all the money from my personal accounts without my knowledge even though I was told the dump truck was the collateral for the loan. This really put me and my family in great distress to the point that I could n't go to work. I try really hard to keep my credit profile clean.

Consumer Complaint: I have insurance on my auto loan with Navy Federal Credit union, in the event I become unemployed/early furloughed from my employment, the insurance was supposed to be applied to my vehicle loan and other accounts with this financial institution, instead they have added this account to collections making it impossible for me to gain employment or housing due to the collection account, I have tried to resolve this issue with them to no avail and am now experiencing financial hardship due to this.

I am currently working on a written notice to Navy Federal Credit Union informing them that i require additional information and updates. During this whole situation they have not contacted me or my spouse to update us.

Consumer Complaint: I obtained a loan from Navy Federal Credit Union in XX/XX/XXXX for the amount of {$14000.00}. I paid on the car up until XX/XX/XXXX, 9 months before my loan should have been up but it was repossessed by Navy Federal after I spoke with them and set up a payment plan. I owed a payment and a half {$530.00} on the car but they wanted {$2000.00} to get it from out of repossession. The whole time i had the loan everytime I was late their " financial advisors '' would always " restart '' my loan to give me time to pay this resulted in me paying over {$12000.00} and only having {$4000.00} reflect on the loan. After repossessing the car they put an amount of {$10000.00} on my credit report. They then sold the car for {$3300.00} and preceded to hound me for the XXXX. Finally at some point they sent letters requesting smaller and smaller amounts. Then this XX/XX/XXXX I received 2 letters from Navy Federal both checks from both accounts I had with them. Redress checks {$3000.00} for the auto loan and {$20.00} for the credit card account. I then preceded to take action to have the accounts finally removed from my credit report. I was successful with XXXX but was told by the other two credit agencies that the information was correct and I still owe the money. I 've tried contacting Navy Federal by phone to ask about the redress and why I still owe and no one can answer if I owe and how much also they said I had to write them if I had further questions. I 've wasted a lot of time and money on Navy Federal the past 6 years. Thousands and thousands of dollars with no car to show for it. They constantly sent me letters and calls always threatening to repo my car and the one time they do, while I was pregnant may I add. They did not once tell me they were going to repo it that day we had an payment plan in place and they took that action knowing I would not have {$2000.00} that would n't even go towards the loan but fees and ect. I would like Navy Federal Credit Union to compensate me the full amount of the auto loan and credit card. I would also like them to remove their accounts from my credit reports and completely sever ties.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I disputed an account that appeared on my credit report from Navy Federal Credit Union. This accounted was paid and settled ( CLOSED ). Today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) I am receiving emails saying that I have missed payments from this account and my credit score has dropped 24 points over this. This account is CLOSED-SETTLED. However for some reason they have listed 'Between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX your NAVY FEDERAL CR UN automotive account balance decreased by {$1900.00} from {$8100.00} to {$4100.00}. ' I have spoke to Navy Federal on the phone today ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and they stated all three accounts I had with them have been settled and are closed and that I will have to file a dispute AGAIN to fix their error. I should n't have to go out of my way to fix someone else 's error.

Issue: Fees or interest
Subissue: Problem with fees
Consumer Complaint: I received a mail offer for a 0 % balance transfer for a promotion period of 1 year. I went to my account and clicked the link for this transfer. I initiated the credit card transfer from XXXX to Navy Federal Credit union XX/XX/XXXXfor the amount of {$3500.00} and the entire amount was accepted. My statement endingXX/XX/XXXX had total activity amount of {$7500.00} which included the balance transfer amount. I figured if I paid all purchases for that statement which was due XX/XX/XXXX then there would be no interest accrual. I paid {$4100.00} but my actual purchases were {$4000.00}. I paid extra to put some toward the balance transfer balance. My statement ending XX/XX/XXXX had an interest charge of {$11.00} but I could not understand why. I contacted XXXX XXXX XX/XX/XXXX to get some clarity but it made no sense so I sent a reply and further explanation on XX/XX/XXXX but I still had not received another response byXX/XX/XXXX so I decided to call. I explained as above about the interest and he said if my full statement balance had been paid then there would be no interest. The full statement balance included the balance transfer that was suppose to be 0 % interest for 1 year. I explained I transferred to avoid interest but instead still being charged interest. Ultimately I told him I wanted my {$11.00} and he agreed to credit ( it would show up in about 2-3 days ). He further explained interest would be charged again if the entire balance is not paid to include purchases and the balance transfer amount. Bottom line I found this to be a very sneaky way to charge interest because what is the point of 0 % interest balance transfer.

Consumer Complaint: On Thursday XXXX I processed a deposit into a Navy Federal ATM. The deposit included one item which was a Cashier 's Check for {$14000.00}. The deposit was made after the cut off time for the XXXX, so I did not expect funds to be available until XXXX. I called the credit union to confirm the date that the funds would be available and was told that they would not be made available until Wednesday, XXXX, as there would be a two business day hold placed on the item. The item was an Official Check which is a next day availability item according to Reg CC. The item was made payable to myself, endorsed by myself and was deposited into an account in my name. I inquired if I could come pick up the check and cancel the deposit to cash the item at the institution it was drawn on, and was told no, because the check was imaged by their ATM. I was also told that if I went into a branch to make a deposit, the funds would have been available sooner ( even though the transaction date would be the same ). This is a violation of Reg CC. Placing a hold because I made the deposit at the ATM instead of at the branch is senseless. Also the item is a next day availability item.
