  I was unable to open a checking account with Navy Federal after applying. I received an email stating that I owed a balance and that if I wanted to get a checking account; the balance would need to be paid. I contacted the company that held the balance. According to the account information, the account had been paid. Since there as a zero balance, I decided to contact Navy Federal again. The customer service representative named ***, told me that she could not discuss the account with me because it had been charged off. I asked her if I needed a letter in order to reopen the checking account. She told me that it did not mean that I did not need a letter, it was just the fact that she could not discuss the checking account with me by any means. I warned her that I had received an e-mail from Navy Federal, stating that I could re-open the checking account, once the balance was paid. She still declined to go further in the conversation and refused to post a zero balance on the account. This occurred on May 5, 2023 around, 8:29 AM on Friday. The representative said that her name was ***. The phone number is **************. I find it contradictory that I was offered the opportunity to open a checking account based on the balance being potentially paid off and then refused by the representative over the phone. Pure hypocrisy.

  There was a fraudulent charge on my account and I was directed to deal with the merchant directly. The merchant reversed the charge on 4/14/23. As a result of the fraudulent charge (as well as attempted fraudulent charges), I was charged returned payment fees on 3/28, 3/30, 3/31, 04/03 for a total of $116 and OOPS fees on 3/24 3/28, 3/29, 3/30, 04/04, 04/07, 04/11 for a total of $140. I contacted Navy Federal on 4/20 with documentation as well as an explanation on how these fraudulent charges, as well as attempted fraudulent charges, how I was directed to resolve this issue with the merchant and how that resulted in my normal recurring ACH transactions being underfunded. The first representative saw the issue, and helped to credit the return payment fees. She transferred me over to someone to help with the OOPS fees, and the representative was rude and didn't want to look into it. He refunded one fee as a "courtesy", however there's no courtesy in refunding money that should have never been taken in the first place, had I not been directed to deal with the merchant prior to filing a claim.

  Nearly 20 years ago, I was a member of NFCU but closed my account after moving away from a branch location. This was before mobile deposits, and such existed, so it was more trouble to deposit checks long distance.My wife and I are in the market for a HELOC, and after comparing rates decided to go through NFCU, so on 3/14, I submitted an online membership application. I got an automated email on the same day requesting identification documents, which I uploaded immediately. On 3/22, I received an email that my membership was denied with no explanation as to why. After several days of phone calls with NFCU (every call took nearly 3 hours of hold time) security department, they couldn't identify why my application was flagged. I was asked to fill out an appeal form to provide them with the information needed to remedy the denial. I reviewed the questions on the form while on the line with Security so they could clarify any questions I had. The form asked for basic information such as name, phone number, and address. A section asked me to explain what went wrong in my application and how it is different now. I asked the department what I should put here since they didn't see a reason for denial, to which they said, "Leave it blank.". Essentially I submitted the appeal form on 3/28 containing nothing more than my name and number, and they told me to allow up to 15 business days to respond. It is now almost MAY, and we have an active HELOC application (through my wife) that is still on hold due to this. My loan officer just reached out this morning, stating security claims they never got my appeal, even though I have RECORDED phone calls from one of your supervisors stating they see/saw my appeal form. It was still in line to be reviewed approximately 20 business days after sending. Either the security department is lying or inept; neither is acceptable. If NFCU doesn't resolve this soon, the loan will fall apart, and we will be forced to take our loan elsewhere.

  Dear *** *******: 
  
  Your recent concerns which were submitted via the Better Business Bureau, Complaint ID number ********, have been referred to me for a reply. Please excuse the delay in our response. 
  We have researched your concerns. Our records show you submitted an application for Navy Federal membership on 14 March 2023, and our Security department requested additional documentation to verify your identity. The documentation was not received; therefore, your application was denied on 22 March. On 22 April 2023, you submitted an application for a Navy Federal Home Equity Line of Credit (HELOC) account. On 17 May, your HELOC application was denied due to Navy Federal being unable to verify your membership eligibility. On 14 June 2023, you submitted another application for Navy Federal membership, and your membership was established. Should you wish to submit a second application for a HELOC account, you may do so by calling the number listed below, online at navyfederal.org, or by visiting your local Navy Federal branch. 
  

  Should you have additional questions or if we may be of further assistance, you may contact us at any time by calling 1-888-842-NFCU (6328).

  Account #******************; ********** ; ********** This is a formal complaint that you are reporting inaccurate and incomplete credit information. I respectfully request to be provided proof of these alleged late payments, and payment history. Per my records I have always paid these accounts on time and never paid late. The following late payment information therefore needs to be reinvestigated as it is inaccurate, and then removed from my credit file as it is falsely reporting. 15 U.S. Code 1681i. Procedure in case of disputed accuracy; I respectfully request to be provided proof of this alleged late payments, and payment history. I am maintaining a careful record of my communications with you for the purpose of filing a complaint with the FTC should you continue in your non-compliance. I further remind you that, as in ****** v. ***** ***** ****., No. ******* (C.D.Cal. Nov. 14,1995), you may be liable for your willful non-compliance if the validation of debt request isn’t completed. Please have the creditor provide the validation documents to the BBB as well as certified mail to me . If creditor can not provide the requested payment history and documents, please have this account removed from my credit file. However if the creditor does provide payment history to confirm this debt I will pay. It was communicated to me to reach out to creditor to expedite the removal. As of the date of previous complaints, it has been over thirty days with no compliance to the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681) enacted by the United States Congress. By their findings, it is now my legal right to have these accounts and inquiries (FCRA 15 U.S.C. 1681n) removed. I understand the individual in receipt of this letter is most likely not an attorney. Therefore, I have attached the laws and definitions to educate any person of my legal rights in the United States of America.

  Navy Federal has permanently blocked my ***** account for no justification. Their reason is that someone I know sent me ***** through Navy Federal for an amount of $150.00. His name is ******* ******. Someone reported to ****** Bank, the money was drawn from, that the transaction sent me was fraudulent. ****** bank, without investigating this charge, reported this alleged fraudulent activity to ***** and Navy Federal Credit Union. I reached out to my friend after I got information from Navy Federal that my account has been blocked. ******* swiftly contacted ****** Bank to find out who reported the fraud because according to him, he transferred the money to me.. It was found that ******* has multiple people on the account he used to send me the *****. One of them - his Niece - reported to the bank that someone has fraudulently transferred money to one ****** ******* through *****. This is the reason why my account was banned by navy federal. After ******* got his Niece involved, ****** Bank recanted the Fraud charge and labelled it as an error/miscommunication and sent a note to *******. ******* gave me that note and I took it to Navy Federal Member Service Center in Fairfax - VA. Initially, Navy Federal through their representatives LIED to me that it was ***** that blocked my account but not Navy Federal. ***** vehemently denied that and Navy Federal later conceded that it blocked my account. This is a brazen attempt by Navy Federal to discriminate against me for no apparent reason.

  I am writing to dispute the denial of my loan application at Navy Federal Credit Union. I believe that my rights under the applicable consumer protection laws have been violated. As a borrower, I meet all of the credit and income requirements specified by Navy Federal Credit Union. However, my loan application was denied, and I believe that this decision was based on incorrect information provided by Navy Federal Credit Union's credit reporting practices, which has resulted in a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA) [15 U.S.C. § 1681 et seq.]. I request that Navy Federal Credit Union provides a written explanation of the reasons for the denial of my loan application and the inaccurate information that was reported. As a consumer, I have the right to accurate information under the FCRA. I also request that Navy Federal Credit Union corrects the inaccurate information on my credit report and reconsiders my loan application within 30 days. Please note that as a consumer, I have the right to pursue legal action if Navy Federal Credit Union continues to report inaccurate information and violates my rights under the FCRA. I would prefer to reach a fair resolution without resorting to legal action. Thank you for your attention to this matter. To rectify this situation, I am requesting that Navy Federal take the following actions: Correct the inaccurate information on my credit report as soon as possible, in accordance with FCRA requirements. Approve my credit application with a reasonable interest rate and a zero-down payment, in accordance with ECOA requirements for equal opportunity credit. Provide me with compensation for the damages I have suffered as a result of this error, including any expenses related to credit application fees, additional interest paid due to a higher interest rate, and any other related financial damages.

  I applied for a HELOC product offered by Navy Federal Credit Union around March 17, 2023. On the application, I provided the reason I was applying for the loan, which was "Business Acquisition." I was conditionally approved for the HELOC product on March 22, 2023. Part of the verification and underwriting process is to confirm the value of the property used as collateral for the HELOC. I had the option of using Navy Federal's 'valuation' or ordering a full appraisal. I opted for the appraisal as the value given to me by Navy Federal was much lower than what I thought was the value of my property. Navy Federal's valuation was around $544,500, and the appraisal I ordered and chosen by Navy Federal, was $576,000. This allowed a larger line of credit. After I paid the appraisal fee of $640 and credit report fee $6.55, I was informed "NFCU does not grant credit on the terms requested." As mentioned, the very first communication I had with Navy Federal regarding this HELOC application, very clearly stated the purpose of the loan was for business purposes. After I received the letter of denial, I emailed and called my loan processor without success. I was never emailed or called back and I've noticed the loan application has been removed from my online account, so I no longer have access to the associated documents. I am requesting a reimbursement of the $646.55 I spent on this loan application. Navy Federal knew they would not approve this loan, as they do not grant credit of HELOCs for business purposes. I should have been told this in the first conversation I had and never given a conditional approval. Intentional perversion of truth in order to induce another to part with someting of value is the definition of fraud.
