Full Complaint:
XX/XX/2016 : Applied to refinance my house with USAA, locked in my rate 3.5 %.
XXXX/XXXX/16 : Received my application packet with all of the documents needed in the mail, including my intent to proceed. Expiration date of application packet was XXXX XXXX, 2016.
XXXX/XXXX/16 : I uploaded all of my packet including my XXXX, income statements, intent to proceed, everything. I used USAA, so they have a digital portal to which I uploaded and indicated that I was done. The prompt said ” Thank you! If we need any additional documents we will contact you. Check back to see the status of your mortgage application. ” XXXX/XXXX/16 : I get an email from loan originator XXXX XXXX XXXX # XXXX saying ” I see your loan estimate has been delivered, please respond to this email with yes it is my intent to proceed ” I replied and told him I uploaded everything and yes it was my intent to proceed and asked him to please let me know if he needed me to submit the packet in any other format. NO RESPONSE.

XXXX/XXXX/16 : I receive a denial letter in the mail stating my application was incomplete. I call and spoke with another originator XXXX XXXX who says ” Oh yeah, I do see here you submitted everything on XX/XX/XXXX … sorry about that. I ‘ll be happy to start another application for you, mortgage rates have gone up though. ” The increase in mortgage rate will cost me approximately {00.00} ( this does n’t include the {00.00} in closing costs ). And they will have to run another credit inquiry. I was told by the manager ” the individual has been reprimanded for his errors. ” However, I am the one who is paying the price for his errors.

Date of Complaint: November 14, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: CA

Product: Credit card

Issue: Cash advance

Full Complaint:
I submitted a dispute to USAA on XX/XX/2016 for a {000.00} purchase from XXXX that represented themselves to be an investment bank, but I learned that it was just a front. On that date, I also learned that XXXX had processed it with USAA as a cash advance and there were thousands of dollars of fees that I had not authorized. USAA was VERY slow in handling the dispute for a number of reasons that are difficult to understand, during which they applied the credit on two or three different occasions until finally on XX/XX/2016 they re-billed my card for the {000.00} stating that I had used the service after I filed the complainr. I said I had only used it to provide the information they requested : specifically statements of the account and transactions processed. They said when I logged in I lost all rights to a refund.

Date of Complaint: November 15, 2016

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: CA

Product: Credit card

Issue: Billing disputes

Full Complaint:
The credit card company did not credit my account for a refund I received from a merchant. I contacted them three times by telephone and each time I was assured by customer service representatives that they would correct the problem. However, it was never corrected. I then wrote to the credit card company at the address they indicated for billing disputes and provided supporting documentation regarding the refund I should have received. They never responded and my credit card account continues to be listed in arrears and I continue to be charged an interest fee on the balance.
