Date of Complaint: January 13, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: MI

Product: Mortgage
Sub-Product: Conventional fixed mortgage

Issue: Loan servicing, payments, escrow account

Full Complaint:
USAA screwed up my escrow account for property taxes. Last year I was only in the house for 6 months so I paid half the taxes and they used that same amount that I paid last year for only half the year for this years taxes which were for a whole year. So now I need to pay {00.00} extra or add more to my monthly mortgage payment. They claim it was n’t their fault and that the taxes increased but that is not the case the taxes are exactly the same all that changed is instead of only paying for 6 months we paid for a full 12 months. USAA also tried to sell my mortgage off only 2 weeks after we signed it. Something needs to be done about their shady business. They are supposed to help veterans and their families but all they do is cause grief.

Date of Complaint: January 7, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: CA

Product: Credit card

Issue: Late fee

Full Complaint:
On XXXX XXXX I looked at my credit card balance with USAA credit cards. I had noticed that my payments did not process. My payments are due on XXXX. So I immediately made a payment and called the bank. they charged me {.00} for each late credit card and this put my card over the limit. I asked them to please waive the late fee and they said no. I have never been late. I find this unreasonable. On XXXX I received an alert from a credit reporting agency that USAA had reported that I was late and that I was over the limit. This is also very unreasonable. The only reason I was over the limit was because of the late fee. This affects my credit which I have been perfecting for sometime. THis is bad business. I as only a few days late. This is not the XXXX time that I have had problems with them. I reported them a few times last year for closing accounts without notice.
