Navy Federal Credit Union Complaints - Interest Rate/Credit Limit

Review all Navy Federal Credit Union complaints

Navy Federal Credit Union

Posted: 2008-12-31 by   Andy
Interest Rate/Credit Limit
Complaint Rating:  100 % with 2 votes
Company information:
Maryland
United States

I contacted Navy Federal by email inquiring about who I should contact about lowering my credit card interest rate. Instead of replying with the information I asked for, they took it upon themselves to do a credit check on me (without my permission) and then denied me an interest rate reduction. Furthermore, they raised my credit card limit by $2000 during the same time that I was inquiring about an interest rate reduction. They wouldn't lower my interest rate at my request, but decided to increase my credit limit on their own? This is not the Navy Federal that I signed up with a few years ago.

When you ask for a reduction in rate, any responsible lender will pull your current credit report in order to determine if you qualify for a reduction. I have a Navy Federal nRewards Visa card and also asked for a reduction in rate, but I assumed they would pull my credit again LIKE ANY OTHER LENDER. By asking questions of the phone representative I spoke with, I found that Navy Federal bases their rates STRICTLY on credit scores and cannot make exceptions to those rates for the whiny members because it would be unfair to the other members who don't complain. (hello, the rates are great anyway!!) I also found that Navy Federal reviews credit card accounts annually and if an account is handled in a responsible manner, the limit is automatically increased as a courtesy. From doing further research about credit reporting agencies, it appears that this is a POSITIVE factor on a credit report because the ratio of debt to credit limit is a huge factor in credit scoring. It shows that the consumer can have a lot of available credit and not MAX it out. So the higher the limit and the lower the balance = better for the consumer.
