Full Complaint:
My wife and I found a home we loved,, which was listed for {0000.00}. I called USAA, and we were pre-approved to borrow XXXX percent of a purchase price up to {0000.00} ( loan amount up to {0000.00}. ) Based on that representation, we entered into a contract to purchase the home for {0000.00}.

About a week after we submitted our package of paperwork and ratified contract, a USAA representative contact us and informed us that the underwriters now required a down payment of approximately {000.00}. We agreed.

A day after our contracted closing date ( scheduling and timely communication were issues throughout this process ) USAA contacted us and informed us that the underwriters now required a down payment of approximately {000.00}. Past schedule to move into a home we had already set our hearts on, we agreed.

I do not recall receiving a Good Faith Estimate, but at closing, the numbers used by USAA on the HUD forms as a Good Faith Estimate were about 15 percent different than the final terms. Again pushed further down the road, we again agreed to modified terms.

USAA later sent us a check for about {0.00} to bring the difference between their estimate and the closing numbers closer together. The letter blamed the large difference on a ” clerical error, ” but contained no substantive explanation.

I understand some numbers my change as this type of transaction finalizes, but we were sold a loan with zero percent down, than accepted a loan with six percent down, and then were finally pushed into a loan with twelve percent down.

Full Complaint:
On Monday, XXXX XXXX 2015, I noticed unusual activity as to why my balance was at an extreme low. I currently bank with USAA Secure Checking. I notified them the day I noticed the suspicious activity and filed a claim. I followed up to get a status report on Thursday, XXXX XXXX 2015. I was then told the Fraud Agency with USAA declared this was not a case of fraud. There were a total of XXXX different transactions all in the same amount of {0.00} bringing it to a total of {00.00} lost. I was basically told I lost that money and to contact XXXX. USAA did send me paperwork that shows when each transaction was made and for how much. I was able to see exactly who they went to and what account once I was able to log onto to usaa.com to check my account electronically. I have notified the local police department here in XXXX, MA to file a police report. USAA is not handling this situation as they should be. I am requesting full recoupment of all funds.
