Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: NJ

Product: Bank account or service
Sub-Product: Checking account

Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Full Complaint:
Fraud was reported to my checking account with USAA within 24 hours of it happening on XXXX XXXX, 2015. Failure to respond to this with any adequate security measures, led to XXXX more fraudulent transfers to occur, insufficient fund charges to happen, and returned item fees. When the checking account became overdrawn by {00.00}, USAA allowed my ” overdraft protection ”, linked to my credit card account with them, to make {00.00} worth of cash advances to my checking account to pay off these fraudulent transfer of fund. I am now being held liable because I agreed to have the USAA Credit Card be my overdraft protection and because I stated that I may have been a victim of identity theft or an email phishing scam, they are making me liable. I believe there was a very convenient reason that they made this land on my credit card, instead of leaving this with the checking department to be resolved and disputed.

Full Complaint:
I have been working for over 2 days to speak to someone who can help resolve an issue. I have been told several times that the procedure to so have someone call me back. So far no one has ever called back, when I call I am just told that the procedure is to put in for a call back and we go through the same drill again. I am concerned about the lack of resources to escalate any issues. The issue stems from being given incorrect information from a customer service rep. At this point I have lost complete trust in them to give correct information, or to return a phone call. We are going on 72 hours with this at this point.
