Full Complaint:
I am attempting to refinance a mortgage with USAA. The company is holding up the loan at this point because there was a dispute on my credit report – not an ” open ” dispute, a resolved dispute. Their last email said ” XXXX XXXX is showing the disagreement code with a resolution of dispute on your credit. This is what underwriting needs removed. ” XXXX XXXX on their part sent the disagreement code, which I am fine with, and resolving the dispute.
What I am understanding from USAA is that they want that to be undone, which XXXX XXXX can not do.
A day later, after I inquired as to why such a holdup, about a credit card account with XXXX balance, and whether the issue is risk or something else, I received a response stating ” Our underwriters do not manually underwrite files. ” At this point, I am at a dead-end. XXXX XXXX did their part and sent a resolution code, but I suppose USAA still can not accept that as an answer. The only option is to go back in time …. ( I will not continue this sentence – they are not giving me a resolution. ) I feel that USAA should be able to manually underwrite my loan.
Now, I started the process XX/XX/XXXX, and even though USAA apologized for the delays, they have been pushing the closing date since XX/XX/XXXX. At this point, I do not think I will be able to close because I am deploying in about 8 days to the XXXX XXXX. The current interest rate on the house is high and I have wanted to rectify this issue for a while.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Full Complaint:
While checking my USAA Federal Savings Bank checking account it was noticed that a person I was married to approximately thirty years ago was designated as an authorized signature on my account. This was done by USAA Federal Savings Bank without my consent and I was not notified by the bank.
I called USAA Federal Savings bank and asked about this problem. I was told the Bank had a computer glitch and they had taken care of it, BUT some accounts had fallen through the cracks and I was XXXX of them.
No apology, no compensation for violating the trust I had placed in that institution.

I am not certain if I filed this complaint at an earlier date, but I have no record of a response from the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.

Full Complaint:
XX/XX/XXXX, I opened an CD with the USAA bank. 15 years later, I call in XX/XX/XXXX, to check my account and to see how much interest my CD obtained over the years. I am then told by an employee that I have no funds in my account because I got an loan in XX/XX/XXXX. I told the employee I never signed an loan, but they fax me paper work with my signature. Although I told her I do n’t recall ever getting this loan, I asked her where was the check because I never received an check. They said they would investigate.

I call back two weeks later and they told me the check has n’t been cashed, so then I request to get my money back and this is where things get sketchy. They give me the run around for two months, claiming this and that. They were suppose to put out an fraud claim, and my daughter even recorded conversations with them asking where my money was.

Finally, I sent an complaint to the XXXX. The XXXX gave them 7 days. The CEO, XXXX XXXX, responded back to the XXXX saying, ‘in my account the loan was given to me, and the funds were taken out of my account to pay back the loan. ‘ However, I sent an rejection to the XXXX telling them I never received an check, and that the check I was suppose to get was not cashed. If the check was n’t cashed, why are n’t they able to give me my money back in my account or issue me an new check? It ‘s because they ‘re stealing from customers.

Upon searching online, I have found similar complaints from other customers within my location of who also been betrayed, lied to, and stolen from from this company. The USAA location is XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX Tx, XXXX
