Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I received a settlement offer from Navy Federal to pay off half of my {$12000.00} credit card debt. The settlement said If I paid half, my debt will be considered paid in full. I paid {$6500.00} to Navy Federal on X/X/2017 and since then I have not received any more communication from Navy Federal stating my debt has been paid in full. The balance still shows up on my account when I log in with a 24 days past due collection sign for minimum payment of {$30.00}. I have attempted several times to reach out to Navy Federal but no one seems to know what 's happening. I am hoping this was n't a new debt collection tactics and that my settlement contract offer is genuine.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Application denied

Consumer Complaint: I applied online as a member of Navy Federal Credit Union for a credit card onXX/XX/XXXX2017. Within a few hours in was an online message declining. I called the next day and onXX/XX/XXXX2017 to inquire why but was told the letter was mailed out last week explaining the reasons for being declined. However I never recieved anything so I called again todayXX/XX/XXXX2017 to ask could the letter be resent cause I never recieved it the representative told me no they wont do it. I explained as a consumer there are fair creit laws that state I have a right to be notified. The representative stated they will not email it through their secure online banking website nor resend it. This is pure nonsense things get lost in the mail so it should be no big deal to reprint and mail my credit decision letter. This is horrible customer service.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: About 3 months ago I applied for a personal loan with Navy Federal Credit Union to pay off my Mother 's car loan she has with XXXX XXXX for her XXXX XXXX XXXX. [ I did have a loan with Navy Federal, it was for a XXXX XXXX XXXX with account # XXXX ]. This loan was co-signed with my mother XXXX XXXX. She was going to trade in the XXXX XXXX & get herself a new car, but I decided to trade in the XXXX XXXX instead & purchased a new vehicle by myself. This was in late XXXX. About a week ago, I received a statement from Navy Federal with limited information. It stated that I owed them {$500.00} dollars & that my loan was subject to go to collections & this would affect my credit rating. My initial call was to XXXX the Sales person, who assured me that my car was completely paid off & did not know what was going on. At this point I was worried about the bad rating this would have on my credit so I called my Mom & asked her to help me find out what was going on. ( I initially thought it was a negative balance for the XXXX XXXX I just traded in ). When my mom reviewed the statement she noticed it was a different account number from my previous & only loan with Navy Federal. My Mom called Navy Federal on X/XX/2017 @ XXXX XXXX & spoke to XXXX in the customer relations dpt. XXXX advised my Mom that she was not on the loan she was pulling up. My mom told her that she was the co-signer on the loan & wanted information about the statement we had received. My mom also advised XXXX that it was the wrong account number & perhaps Navy Federal had made a mistake about the balance of {$500.00} we still had. XXXX asked my Mom if she was calling regarding the loan for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. When my mom heard the description of the vehicle she then told XXXX that the XXXX was her car & she still had a loan with XXXX XXXX. At that point XXXX told my Mom she was unable to give her any more information & she had to transfer the call to the Accounting Dpt. but not before my mom conference me in to the call. When we reached the accounting dpt we spoke to XXXX. I verified my information one more time & gave authorization for my Mom to talk to XXXX & discuss the account. When everyone was on the same page my Mom asked XXXX if she can tell us who signed the check or any credit application? We explained to her that I never picked up the check or signed anything documents authorizing the loan. At this point XXXX stated that we were going to be put on a 10-15 minute hold so that she can review all notes. My mom was at work & asked XXXX to please call us back because she was at work & I was getting ready to go to work. XXXX told us that they do not call out ever & if we wanted any further information we would have to call them back at another time. This is the last time we had any contact with Navy Federal.

Issue: Getting a line of credit

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Due to the hurricane I had damages to my car and home that I need extra cash for. I had a XXXX line of credit and my mother had XXXX. So we wrote my boyfriend a checking line of credit check so that we can use the funds to fix his car that was damaged and our home. I made a mistake and used my old XXXX check that I requested to close due to transactions I did not approve. I called navy federal and explained what happened. Agent said I can transfer funds instead of writing a check. We found out my boyfriends account was restricted so I transferred to funds to my aunts account. My mother and I could n't transfer it into our account because we 're getting ready to close on a house and ca n't have funds such as XXXX deposited into our account. So when we transferred the funds to my aunt account navy federal froze all our accounts due to fraud. My account, my mother, my boyfriend, my aunt, my brother in law and mother in law. I do n't understand how we can fraud our own accounts when we have almost everything with them and walk into the bank almost every week. They froze credit cards ... auto account ... XXXX ... everything. When I called to get everything straightened out I was treated like I did something wrong. The agent was no help at all. Also when we all went to the branch to talk to someone we were just shoved a fraud form to fill out without anyone really taking to use. They are not trying to help us fix something that is not what they say. We always try to get additional products with them by applying online and trying to move our services over. We tried to transfer money from our XXXX like we we 're told we can do but that caused all of our accounts to be frozen. Even after explaining the mix up with me writing a check connected to my closed account, they are not trying to listen and have caused a financial set back and stress.
