I attempted to contact USAA credit card company. XXXX from XXXX Ky stated that I would only be able to contact a call center and that I would no longer be having access to USAA the company. I explained this is a member only company and you should be affiliated to the military in some form. I am having problems with neighbors attempting to assume my identity. They have had copies of my credit card statements separated. In the past there was a XXXX and I never received it. I was only able to deal with the call center for this as well. I also, got a refund from XXXX XXXX through XXXX in months past that I never received. Now, I am having problems with XXXX orders being charged double. Other orders referenced than supplied by XXXX. I was attempting to get this XXXX order rectified. I contacted USAA because I was notified via email that they suspected suspicious activity. I only wanted to clarify that my reward points are back on my statements. Also, that my credits are not going to one of their employees as I was told they had some problems with employees. I want to know if my bank statements are correct and also that my credits are not going to an employee that has a copy of my credit card that I never authorized. I ‘m told a person by the name of XXXX had my credit card in her hand. I place orders on line.

Full Complaint:
My wife cashed her check & turned it into a cashiers check so we could deposit it into our account at USAA with little or no hold. However, since usaa has no branches & you can only use remote deposit, this deposit was not covered under reg c, so usaa placed a 5 day hold on the account. I have had an open checking & savings with usaa for over a year as well as my auto & renters insurance. I was simply told they could not do anything & the hold was go i ng to stay because remote deposit is not covered under reg c. If an institution does not provide you with the ability to deposit cash they should not be able to put indiscriminate holds on cashiers checks.
