USAA Federal Savings Bank

March 20, 2015 [redacted] Complaint ID #: [redacted] and [redacted] Dear [redacted]: I am responding to your submissions regarding your USAA Federal Savings Bank (FSB) deposit and credit card accounts. When USAA’s core values of service, loyalty, honesty, and integrity are compromised,...

USAA exercises the right to discontinue doing business with a member, which includes restricting website access and, to the extent allowed by law, closing their USAA accounts. In accordance with the USAA Credit Card Agreement and the FSB’s Depository Agreement and Disclosures, the FSB may close or suspend an account at any time without prior notice. Our records show that on February 27 and February 28, 2015, you spoke with members of our FSB staff and that we assisted you with cancelling your automatic and scheduled payments and transferring funds. As you are aware, we notified you in writing on March 3, 2015, that we would close your FSB accounts and advised you of the steps to take to prepare for the account closures. [redacted] and [redacted], of our FSB staff, were unable to reach you by telephone to discuss this matter further. The FSB is unable to comply with your request to transfer the balance of your USAA Secured American Express® credit card account, which is secured with a USAA Two-Year Secured Variable Rate Certificate of Deposit (CD). After we closed the CD without penalty, we applied the funds to the outstanding balance on your credit card account. On March 10, 2015, we issued a $43.27 check to you for the remaining funds and mailed it to your address of record. We reported the credit card accurately to the consumer reporting agencies as closed, and we can confirm that the FSB did not report any delinquencies related to the account. On March 11, 2015, your four deposit accounts reflected zero balances. Although the accounts will officially close on April 2, 2015, before this date you will need to stop direct deposits and any remaining automatic debits and credits and make arrangements for checks that have not cleared. If subsequent account activity occurs, you will be responsible for any outstanding balances owed. Conversely, if any positive account balances remain at closure, we will refund the amounts to you by check after April 2, 2015. Please note that any items presented for payment or direct deposit after the accounts are closed will be returned. Thank you for allowing us to reply to you. Should you have additional questions, [redacted] and [redacted] remain available to speak with you at [redacted] or ###-###-####, Extension [redacted] or [redacted], respectively. Sincerely, [redacted] Credit cards are issued by USAA Savings Bank and serviced by USAA Federal Savings Bank, both Member FDIC.

March 31, 2015 [redacted] Complaint ID #: [redacted] Dear [redacted]: I am responding to your submission regarding your checking account with the USAA Federal Savings Bank (FSB) and access to [redacted]. The FSB complies with banking regulations and acts in accordance with the Depository...

Agreement and Disclosures (DAD), which is provided when an account is opened and is available on [redacted]. According to the DAD, “FSB may debit your account for a check or other item drawn on your account…If you do not have sufficient available funds to cover the item, FSB decides whether to return it or to pay it and overdraw your account.” [redacted], of our staff, thoroughly reviewed your account and found that fees were charged appropriately; therefore, we respectfully decline your request for any refund. Once your checking account is brought to a zero balance, the account closure can be completed. Our records indicate that your online access was revoked due to multiple delinquent accounts. Access to [redacted] has since been restored; however, if the status of your accounts remains unfavorable, your online access could be affected again.

ex-fiancé, [redacted] was added to the account as an authorized user. Your account became delinquent on July 24, 2013, and was subsequently assigned to a collection agency. On January 31, 2014, the account was charged off as all of the collection attempts were unsuccessful. The FSB has received multiple credit reporting disputes from you, and each time the FSB responded that the reporting was correct. Thank you for speaking with [redacted], of our staff, who provided you with information validating the opening of your account and the owed balance. You advised [redacted] that you had no knowledge of who [redacted] was. [redacted] was able to confirm that the telephone number listed on your Revdex.com submission is registered to [redacted]. Additionally, during the time your application was submitted, the address on your credit report matched the address we have had on file since 2011. You informed [redacted] that you were incarcerated during the time the account was open. [redacted] has yet to receive the requested documentation from you confirming the account was opened fraudulently. At this time, the credit card debt is valid, and you will remain responsible for the balance.

Thank you for allowing us to reply to you. Sincerely, [redacted] Credit cards are issued by USAA Savings Bank and serviced by USAA Federal Savings Bank, both Member FDIC.

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:I am fully aware of USAA's policies which is a "moving target" and cannot be planned for as a consumer.  Once again, this is a terrible customer service issue USAA has.  In any other industry if a vendor or service provider takes action that adversely affects their customer without prior communication it is reflected as a bad business practice.  Customers, especially financially, have to be able to plan.  Without planning budgets cannot be kept.  Your actions may have been written on a piece of paper that your employees have to follow but it doesn't make it acceptable.For you to be able to take action of your customers money at anytime is wrong and not in the best interest of your customers.  As a member of your company for over 24 years, I find it completely unacceptable the way you have treated my family.  While it may not mean a lot to you that we are leaving USAA, I want to make sure everyone is aware of your "policy's" and actions as it is only for the protection of your company and not for the people that put money in your banks or pay for your insurance.

December 23, 2014 [redacted]Complaint ID #:[redacted] Dear [redacted]: I am responding to your submission regarding your USAA Federal Saving Bank (FSB) debit card dispute.  I regret any frustration you may have experienced as a result of this matter. Our records...

reflect that you contacted the FSB on September 10, 2014, to request that we close your debit card and replace it with a new one.  We did not find documentation indicating that the request was intended to prevent [redacted] from debiting without your authorization.  On November 12, 2014, a [redacted] purchase for $92.94 posted to your debit card, and you subsequently called to dispute the charge as unauthorized.  At that time, you explained that you had canceled the debit card to prevent further debits since you no longer wanted the service.  We contacted a representative at [redacted], who agreed to cancel the service; however, they declined to refund the $92.94, as they had reimbursed a previous debit card charge in January 2014.  The representative clarified that you had signed up for an automatic renewal membership and that you were notified by mail that the membership had to be canceled by November 11, 2014, to avoid further billing.  Per your November 28, 2014, request, we initiated a dispute for the $92.94 charge and sent an email advising you that we would apply a provisional credit to your account.  If [redacted] responds with proof that the terms of membership were made available, the credit will be removed.  Any further resolution would be made directly between you and the merchant. In regard to your concerns about the FSB providing new debit card information to merchants after a card has been canceled, MasterCard updates new card numbers with merchants if they participate in automatic billing updater, in order to prevent service interruptions.  The FSB cannot prevent MasterCard from updating merchants with new debit card numbers; however, we take action as appropriate once we are notified of an issue. [redacted], of our staff, was unable to reach you to discuss your concerns.  Should you have further questions or would like to receive information about our payment programs or payment assistance, he remains available to assist you and may be reached at (210) 531-USAA (8722) or (800) 531-USAA (8722), Extension[redacted]. Thank you for allowing us to reply to you.   Sincerely, [redacted]

April 24, 2015 [redacted]Complaint ID #: [redacted] Dear [redacted]: I am responding to your submission regarding the hold that was placed on the deposit to your checking account with USAA Federal Savings Bank (FSB). On April 12, 2015, you made a deposit using USAA...

Deposit@Mobile®, a Remote Deposit Capture (RDC) service, and a portion of the funds was placed on hold for five days.  As stated in the Depository Agreement and Disclosures (DAD), which is provided to all accountholders and is also available on usaa.com, the FSB reserves the right to place a hold on RDC deposits for up to seven business days from the date of deposit and may make such funds available sooner based on such factors as credit worthiness, the length and extent of your relationship with USAA, transaction and experience information, and such other factors as USAA, in its sole discretion, deems relevant.  We appreciate you speaking with [redacted], of our staff, who discussed the reason for the hold.  As a courtesy, we released the hold. We regret any inconvenience this matter caused you.  Thank you for allowing us to reply to you.   Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:The information provided is not accurate.  In the response, that an agent from the USAA attempted to contact me numerous occasion but it was to no avail. What USAA fails to state is that the agent contact me telephonically, left me a message stating she wanted to get clarification about my rental insurance.  Time called was during work hours and I had my phone off. I attempted to call that agent on numerous occasion and even stated via that agents voice message stating that I am unable to access my phone before 3pm but anytime after that she could call me. Never got any call back, tried again still to no avail. As usual I believe the goal was to close the case and just move on. I am already aware that the organization is to discontinue all communications with me the last time I called before I complained to the Revdex.com. Stating that My loan account was charged off before any other action was taken is false. I did receive a letter from USAA agent with my payment stating she was returning that payment back to me because she had no idea where to apply the payment. However, this was the same method I was making payment until I got that letter. Also, the letter came to me overseas. I immediately contacted USAA about the payment returned and that it was no falt of me. I even went ahead got payment history sent to USAA from Service Credit Union but it was completely ignored.  Later on I had a phone call from a lady who was a representative from USAA as well for me to make the remaining payment which was about less that 3000 at that time.  Question to USAA, if my account is still going to be considered charged off whiles I paid it all in full, explain to me how that could be considered charged off and what constitutes charge off. Also, I will need payment history to include the point in which it was considered charged off and  the remaining payment maid where did it go.About the rental insurance. I understand u do not plan to do business with me and I respect that. I believe this is considered discrimination.  Surely they are other agencies to have business with. Lastly, how you went buy canceling the homeowners insurance without notifying me prior is bad business practice. I had to find that out from My mortgage company.

[redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because: I called numerous times including the direct line number for USAA and it wouldn't direct me but keeps ended up the call. Altogether I called at least 7 times just to get a hold of the USAA staff. They should fixed their USAA main number because I'm trying to make an auto insurance payment and trying to reach the staff who left my message last week. Please retrain all USAA employees regarding their customer service. Still needs to improvement.

January 7, 2015 Mr. [redacted] Complaint ID #: [redacted] Dear [redacted]: I am responding to your submission regarding the nonsufficient (NSF) fees charged to your checking account with the USAA Federal Savings Bank (FSB). I understand [redacted], of our staff, spoke with you and...

conducted a conference call with [redacted], who confirmed that the ACH debit attempts to your checking account were authorized transactions. As [redacted] explained, we will be unable to refund the total amount of NSF fees charged to your checking account as a result of the authorized transactions from [redacted]. In addition, [redacted] advised that the FSB already refunded $116.00 in NSF fees, and you are responsible for paying the balance owed in the checking account. As a courtesy, [redacted] refunded an additional $290.00 in NSF fees to you and placed it into your savings account.

Sincerely, [redacted]

Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:My secure credit card and CD were closed before USAA notified me of this action. After my card was declined, I called and was told over the phone that the account was closed that day. Also I placed several phone calls to the people listed in the letter, I always ended talking to their voicemails and not the person.
