Product: Credit card

Issue: Closing/Cancelling account

Full Complaint:
XXXX XXXX ; XXXX ; XXXX ; USAA issued me a credit card 13 years ago. On the anniversary of the card USAA sent me a bill for the renewal annual fee ( {.00} ). I had n’t used the card in years ; it had a zero balance ; and I called the company and cancelled the card. The rep acknowledged that the card would be cancelled but that I had to pay the annual fee. The fee was prospective, not retroactive, and I objected to paying a fee for a card I no longer would have or use. They threatened to adversely affect my credit rating if I did n’t pay. I think it ‘s an illegal fee.

State: AE

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

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Full Complaint:
i called in to open a checking account with USAA back in late 2015, whne i was told that i already had a account with them. I told the Rep that i have never opened a previous account with them, so she ask me some personal info to verify what she had on file. the info did not match so she changed it to my current info so who ever was using the account could not continue to use it. i later contacted the fraud department about the discovery conducted a investigation. they gave me a call about a week later stating that i a am still responsible for the negative balance on the account since the infomation matches. i told them that i just updated my info with a customer service rep eariler. i have been trying to resolve this for quite some time but USAA is cooperating at all.
