Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Racial discrimination

My son has called me on multiple occasions Because Navy Federal will not allow him to take his funds out of the bank. The Bank has asked him for his Drivers License, Passport and any other ID's that he can provide on top of his password. They are still hesitant on giving him his funds. I have had to continuously call the bank about this situation and it gets no better. This bank continues to racially discriminate against our black men. My son in particular. The excuses that are given is that he is in the drive thru and they can't see his face. Then he goes into the branch and they give him more of a problem.

Desired outcome: Public apology and even a class action law suit to compensate the individuals who have been effected by this unjust service.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Customer service

WILL NOT RELEASE FUNDS OR SPEAK TO A MANAGER TODAY

I unfortunately do not have the luxury of direct deposit with my employer. Manual Paychecks are released at 4:30pm on payday. My last payday was Friday, March 25, 2022. That day I purchased a newer vehicle at a dealership and received the loan through this bank. It took well over an additional one hour on the phone and well over a half an hour in a local branch to complete this after receiving a preapproval. Due to their delays, my paycheck was submitted after their 6:00pm deadline. If submitted prior to that time, after the very small amount released after the check is approved, the remainder is released on the next day (Saturday). Per a call to the bank today, Monday, March 28, 2022; I am being told the remainder of my funds will not be available until Tuesday, March 29, 2022. This is 4 days after my check. Again due to their delays. I was also informed that I could not speak to a manager for 1 to 2 business days, due to their turnaround. This will be after my funds will be available. So, this bank is will to lose both my loan and banking, due to their delays. DO NOT DO any business with this bank or they will screw you.

Desired outcome: Release my funds & Apology

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Unauthorized ACH Debit Transactions

On February 23rd, 2022, I discovered several large ACH Debit transactions I DID NOT authorize on my Flagship Checking account. I immediately dialed Navy Federal customer service and their fraud department, where I was informed that my Flagship Checking and Share Savings accounts were compromised.

NFCU Fraud Department closed my original checking and savings accounts, opened fresh accounts, and transferred my existing funds to those new accounts. I was assured by the fraud department that I would at least receive a provisional credit of the funds that were fraudulently stolen from me within 10-15 business days. More than 17 business days have elapsed, and I have not received any provisional credit.

I've called up NFCU customer service once again, and I was told that the investigation is "behind," and I wasn't given any estimated time frame on when the investigation will end so that I can have my stolen money back.

The fraudulent ACH Debit transactions total to about $13,000. NFCU allowed this fraud to occur, and we, as members, are clearly not NFCU's "mission."

Desired outcome: I expect to at least receive a provisional credit of the funds that were wrongfully withdrawn from my account.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Improper Customer service

To whom it may concern,

Hi! My name is Ma. Evelyn Rosell, I would like to file a complaint in regards to call handling by Marshall Craige Holm, ID no. 41852. I am really hoping that this complaint will reach to his manager or supervisor named Brandon M. Jewell. Marshall is not good in handling customer service. Me and my husband were deciding to transfer to another bank because of the way I was treated when I made a phone call. And it was just so easy for my husband to tell his bad experience to his colleagues and will not recommend Navy Federal just for this experienced. I just called and asked why my credit card was not working. The first lady answered transfer me to another guy, and the guy told me , there was a black in my credit card so he needed to transfer me to another department. Marshall answered me and told me that there was nothing wrong with my credit card. I explained to him that I got declined few times. And he accused me of using my husband credit card or doing some transactions without my husbands authorization. I told him, I can bring my husband on the line. I explained to him that by the time my credit card got decline, I have to use my husbands credit card, and my husband was just right besides me. But, Marshall was so rude and sound so descriminating and telling me that I am not allowed to use my husbands card. I even explained to him that me and husband are living in the same house and he is working and studying at the same time that he asked me to take charge of our budget so I needed to log in sometimes to check our expenditures just to maintain our budget, but my husband is just with me when I am doing it. But Marshall sounds so descriminating and told me I am not allowed. And I told him, "even my husband is besides me?" Anyway, I felt so bad that he made it sounds like I am stealing and I am not authorized. So, I told him, I also have a power of attorney. So to make the story short, me and my husband ended up going to one of the branches of Navy Federal, Oak Grove, Tennesse. We gave the power of attorney and the lady did not even accept the power of attorney. She explained that I don't need power of attorney because I am already in all of the accounts. Her name is Mirasol, she helped me and my husband resolved the concern and explained to us what happed why my credit card got declined. She also explained to me that the previous conversation over the phone was I was transfered to FRAUD department. It was so frustrating and the way they handle the call is very unprofessional. You guys will lose customers and people will not recommend Navy Federal because of people who are judgemental, without proper customer service, without listening to the customer, asking the right probe questions. You guys need to trained them well. I din't even know that they transfer me to Fraud department. My concern was just simple, why my card is not working, and yet I was accused of using my credit card without authorization, which is horrible because I am also the owner of the account. These customer service don't know how to value customer, don't listen, they don't resolve concern! They need to be replaced with people who can, before you guys will lose revenue in the future because of that kind of people in your business.

Desired outcome: I just want to be heard and those people who improperly handled my call and accused me of fraud needs to be replaced. They don't know how to do their job.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Total disregard for customer time

Walked in Fairfax city Fairfax bld branch to inquire about an equity loan. Teller informed us that the person dealing with that (David Courtoise) was in training (backroom) and it will be done in 45mn. She texted him to confirm his availability and asked us to comeback. So we drove back home and came back 50mn later. We asked for him only to find out he was not available for at least 2 more hours. David did not have the courtesy to come out and apologize. The attitude of your staff in this branch was very rude with the exception of the teller. Acting like we were intruding? No one else knowledgeable to help us?

We and our family have been members for 60+ years and probably will get a loan elsewhere. I will make sure to leave feedback everywhere possible.

Desired outcome: Fire all of them.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Mortgage loan pre-approval letter

Megan Mosa,

As per our phone call when you stated that Navy Federal CU had not even started to process our application. You now have received four verbal and two written documentations ordering you to cancel our application since:

1) NFCU wrongfully directed me to apply for a pre-approval letter knowing that NFCU would not do anything in time for us to include NCFU on the purchase of our new primary residence.

2) The NFCU mortgage rep assured me that NFCU would meet the no0n on Friday deadline, but NFCU failed to perform.

3) Since NFCU failed to meet the required noon on Friday deadline with no less than three requests for urgent processing but our Mortgage Loan Officer completely failed to take any action until I escalated my inquiry and demanded that I talk to my Mortgage Loan Officer.

4) The NFCU Loan Officer we had a telephone conversation with (after a three hour wait) appeared more confrontational, and her demeanor was nothing short of pointed and rude (that person was you - Megan Mosca).

So, because of your unprofessional behavior we again hereby demand for the fifth time that you not only finally cancel our application but you and NFCU STOP contacting us about this in the future since have already received our Mortgage Pre-Approval Letter from a different lender (without any deceit or hassle) so that we could submit the offer with our Realtor on time.

We are very disappointed and demand a refund of the $48 credit report that was never used or disclosed prior to starting the application process (entrapment).

Desired outcome: $48 refund and an apology

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Navy federal membership

Someone attempted to open membership with my personal info and old mailing info- per Navy Fed the person said they were military- navy opened the acct- how? If they did the correct secure checks they would have confirmed I am not military and denied the account. The only reason the acct was closed was because the opening deposit didn't clear- so, what if the deputy cleared- then navy federal would have allowed someone to open an account in my name- with false information

Desired outcome: I want navy to see their error and fix it and allow my membership- I don't feel I need to submit documents and continue to follow up when navy federal should have better consumer security

I was in a Federal Prison from February 17, 2016 on a 70 month term. Upon my release I went to NFCU and was informed that I owed over $1000. I explained my situation, filed a dispute, no response. I went back down to NFCU San Diego, spoke with the mgr, we called the fraud dept and the lady that answered was useless. After explaining to her that my case is public record and she can view it online, and that there was no way i could have overdrawn the account. She commented that the records online stated i was sentenced on May 24, 2018, to 70 months. again i stated i was incarcerated since 2/17/2016. i said do the math...if i was free in 2018...add 70 months (take off 10 months for good behavior) that would make me free in 2023. but if you add 60 months to 2016, it would be 2021. which means i was incarcerated during the time this fraudulent activity took place in 2017. She still insisted that no she only sees the filing stamp date and my claim is denied. It is 2022 and I am still getting no resolution for this situation. Its always a dead end once you have to speak to someone not in that office! So dissappointing.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Banking and customer service

I had problems with Credit card limits, access to funds, wait times at bank and security problems.

I asked for and increase to my credit card from the minimum 3000 start up amount. It was declined three times with no reason stated other than a credit review. My Credit is excellent and I have no bad reports. I have over 100 thousand in assets. My wife had to travel, let he bank know and her funds were closed. She called the bank and could not access her monies. Wait time in the bank is always poor. The last time the teller was flirting with another employee and talking on his personal phone for over and hour while we waited. I closed both my wife and my accounts. Went to another Credit Union and got the service we needed. Poor bank, poor employees, no customer rewards, low interest rates on savings and checking accounts, poor military bank period.

Desired outcome: Strive to change, get better employees that are customer first, fix security to many passwords and access to you money is not easy. Change your credit card review section, something is wrong there !

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Navy federal refi cash out loan at 2.5 percent, 30 year loan.

Who I am - I’m a retired veteran with 90% service-connected disability. I had served in the military for 30 years before I retired. I’ve been a member of Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) since 1985, 37 years.

Date of Business Transaction - We started a cash-out refinancing our home with Navy Federal Credit Union (NFCU) on October 19, 2021. The loan has not been closed as of today (Feb. 11, 2022).

Dispute of Interest Rate in Refi - at the beginning of this refi, we locked in our interest rate at 2.5% with 3 chances to lower it if interest rate comes down after we locked it. There’s no agreement that our rate will be raised if the loan does not close at certain date. Instead, NFCU postponed the closing dates with the SAME rate a couple of times during this process. However, we’re asked by NFCU to sign an agreement in which the interest rate was raised to 3.1% on Feb 10, 2022.

Where we are now in the refi - we had got our loan approved officially at the rate of 2.5% after we had our house appraised in January 2022. However, instead of closing the loan, NFCU kept adding requirements one at a time which has delayed the process even more. First, they asked for a termite inspection, and we did it ($200.00) and it passed. Secondly, they asked for inspection of all our fireplaces, and it passed ($175.00). Thirdly, they asked for well water test results, and we did it. It passed except for one test which is being fixed as I write this (approx $250.00 or more as we are still testing). The loan officer emailed us two days ago (Feb 8, 2022) that we need to treat our water and redo the test so that we can close the loan. We got our well treated and will install the UV Lamp on our water system on Feb 14, 2022. Then on Feb. 10, we’re told our interest rate was raised to 3.1% or we can withdrawal the loan, which is totally against our agreement, that is, locked rate of 2.5% never changed during this refi process.

Distressful Long Refi Process - at the beginning, we requested the loan be closed in 2021. But we’re told by the officer that the process might take up to 90 days or longer because of the Virus. And the 2nd loan officer asked us not to worry because if the loan didn’t close by Dec 27, 2021, we’ll get $500 credit when we do close. However, In reality, we got nothing, instead, the refinance process is even much longer than 90 days and still hasn't been closed as of today. During this long process, NFCU replaced 3 loan officers working with us and added one supervisor. There were weeks that we never heard a word from these loan officers or when they called back, they only called later Friday afternoon. On our end, since we want to close by 2021 and as early as possible, we’ve always responded as quickly (within 24 hours) as soon as possible whenever they requested any information (accept with the water test which we have no control over).

One test is 18 hours the other are over 10 business days, their requirement not mine. Remember we didn't know about the water testing requirement until 19 Jan 2022.This process is long as it requires time to grow cultures in their lab to test the water.

How Much We Have Spent - we’ve spent over $3000 on this process. Appraisal $600.00, Termite inspection $200.00, Fireplace inspection $175.00, Water testing $250.00 plus as we are still in testing, $2,000 on UV water treatment and water filters. Total $3,225.00.

This virus has delayed everything to no ones fault and even the loan officer said in the beginning it could takes months and we told him we are willing to work with you just let us know what you need. Just getting the parts for the water treatment took over 2.5 weeks.

Desired outcome: we request that NFCU, not change our locked loan. We are asking Navy Federal to allow us 10 Business days from today 11 Feb 2022 to get the required testing done

Think you're eligible for part of the Navy Federal Credit Union $23 million settlement affecting hundreds of thousands of customers? If you are, you should be hearing from NFCU soon.

"Consumers should know that Navy Federal Credit Union will contact you if you are eligible for compensation under the consent order, " said Moira Vahey, a spokeswoman for the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, the federal agency that investigated the credit union's allegedly deceptive debt-collection practices.

Some consumers have contacted Military Times with questions about who to contact for information about whether they might qualify for compensation. If you believe you've been overlooked, you can contact the credit union at [protected], NFCU spokesman Brian Parker said, or file a complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at www.consumerfinance.gov/complaint, according to Vahey.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau alleged that the credit union misled its members about its debt collection practices and also unfairly froze customers out of their own accounts without adequate warning, affecting hundreds of thousands of people. In addition to the $23 million in compensation to consumers, the credit union must correct its collection practices and pay $5.5 million to the CFPB civil penalty fund.

Navy Federal officials agreed to the settlement without admitting or denying the allegations, according to the consent order. Officials said earlier in a statement that "where our collection practices have come up short in the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau's estimation, we have made all the necessary changes. We have cooperated with the CFPB throughout the process."

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Fraud/forgery

Date of incident: January 5th 2022.
My wallet was stolen sometime in late 2021 and military ID and license was used at the drive through ATM that includes interaction with the bank teller. An unidentified female provided my stolen military ID to the teller and was able to withdraw almost $5, 000.00. The issue here is that I am required to provide a word or phrase when I am on the phone with a customer service representative however, they did not require for it to be given at the drive through and proceeded to give the money without truly identifying the woman. This is unacceptable as I have been with Navy Federal Credit Union for more than 12 years and have been serving in the military for more than 10 years. I fight for our freedom and the money I am entitled to after earning just disappears with truly confirming and especially that amount of money. I called Navy Federal as I check my account on a daily basis, I found out this occurred 2 hours from where I live so I drove the next day in order to get answers from the manager.
When I get there, the manager takes my ID to the back and goes through the tapes, she comes out and asks me "did you just forget you took money out because the individual looks like you?" I was truly mind blown because why would I waste my time making the drive and what kind of question is that? I asked her if I made a police report that they could retrieve the tapes in hopes of obtaining any leads such as a license plate number or something. She told me no, they can't give tapes to anyone. I left there feeling disappointed and honestly, I am going to change banks because I could not trust a bank to hold my earnings if they are just going to willingly give it out.

Desired outcome: Protocols update/investigation/cooperation with the police

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Personal loans

They claim they exist to assist and help Veteran's active or other wise. Biggest lie ever told. In reality that don't give two [censored]s. So many better bank's and credit Union's that deserve the attention and business of Veterans. I'm not one to ask for help. However When I've needed help, they failed to do anything. I recommend you take your business elsewhere.

I had to call nfcu to get a new password november 2021. November 30 2021 at 3pm i tried to login but all failed. I have been logging in almost everyday this month to keep updated. Today i wasnt able to login. I called nfcu to alert this. I also mentioned i login in daily. When i received my new password earlier november i use it correctly and the username.

I wrote down my username and password when we straigtened out this matter earlier this month. So how could i forget it when i login daily? she said she couldnt help me. I went off.

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] Purpose for existence

Over 5 years employment at NFCU HQ, Vienna, VA.

U.S. Military serving credit unions, until 15 years ago forced by Congress, pilled up $75 billion in untaxed net income from operating in nearly free office/parking space on military bases. In 2007 NFCU opened its first 36 owned/constructed branches.

Since opening in about 1935 NFCU set out to provide retirement jobs for Navy Vets at Board & VP levels, and elsewhere for family members only. Of 10, 000 employees at NFCU, less than 5% of them had any college or financial experience before they were hired.

Because most sailors are early stationed overseas near our greatest enemies they marry daughters from all the nations that are bent on destroying America.

These foreign wives and offspring moved to America and now make up 90% of NFCU employees. So essentially NFCU is no friend to any country loving American. Banking is not their business, but destroying America from within is.

Desired outcome: Deport or jail all enemies of America wherever they are

Went in to Brier Creek Branch for service today and associate Candis Johnson provided an attitude of rudeness and disrespectful. My fiancee opened an account and we used my address because he is moving to NC. He is an Army Veteran. And I am a Navy Vet banking with Navy federal over 20 years now. We were complete appalled by her demeanor. ~ D James [protected]

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] CS mort refi & heloc

NFCU is employing temps & woke philosophy inclined ideology vice conservative, graduate level simple debit/credit balanced f & an in my opinion. I believe many problems are internally systemic with nfcu as well as many other great, reputable corporations today. Much can be attributed to arrogant unwillingness to hear, fully comprehend & execute fair, reasonable solutions. Inconsistencies between rep training & experience level, dept communicating with each other, timeliness of related dept coordination, telling one or another thing by phone, yet, computer data profiling something else or hitting a wrong key, internal mutual admiration & personnel protection, work force staff current dislocation, message passing & coordination consistent with request often end up not addressing issues appropriately, rather what's believe needed doing after passing through multiple reps & dept coordination, loosing accuracy of the request in the process. I have specific complaints filed formally & must use gov't oversight or agencies because the legal path is so expensive, time & $s. Over 4 decades, I have seen personnel management meshed with computer automated processes become worse than ever. Cs has become interrogation with well disguised road rage attitudes — then, how could one think any of us are devoid of that in today's authoritative, cancel culture, etc., etc. society — it permeates all we are & all we do, insidiously & overtly. Great people, bad methodology & protocols! Disregard & inability to have customers feel good, knowledgeable & correct in reasonable understanding — though we know the customer is not always right, help them be comfortable that they are securely being represented in the right ways that they remain appreciative & confident, rather than the opposite. I have seen this go southbound over the last couple of years & wanted to voice that to nfcu board, as well, now the complaints board, since I've recently been continuously scolded for my inquiries. I wanted nfcu to fix problems rather than unresponsively being the problem — beginning with denying that there is a problem, a huge problem. My simple little accts document a mountain or evidentiary support of my opinions falling on deaf nfcu ears & rigid tunnel vision executive protocols — our way or the highway.

Desired outcome: sworn legal deposition in support of my acct files before the nfcu board for case study of what not to do in business finance & accounting, CS, etc

Navy Federal Credit Union [NFCU] If they don't make money off of you then you have to go

Work for a VA and have worked many hours during this pandemic. Have had plans of switching all of my direct deposit and automatic payments to this account. But the surges have made it difficult to make sure all is in line to make the switch. They however decided that since I wasn't using the account then I didn't matter. No overdrafts with NFCU ever, money in the accounts but a Veteran, caring for Veterans during a pandemic is not who they care about. Making money off of your blood, sweat and tears is the goal. Credit Unions used to be about the members, with these scammers it is about making money and the bottom line. No time for the little people. Do not use this financial institution!
