Full Complaint:
I was out of work from XXXX XXXX, 2016 until XXXX XXXX, 2016 due to a XXXX that required at least XXXX weeks of recuperation without use of my XXXX. My worker ‘s comp claim was denied. I was attempting to go back on light duty, which my employer denied. I attempted to file a claim for unemployment, because although I had initially been informed I could work light duty, my company would not let me return to work with restrictions. On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I called USAA to inform them that I was out of work, and could not make my auto loan and personal loan payments, and initiated the USAA debt protection coverage. After a week or so, I called USAA. The employee I spoke with told me that my debt protection was in place, and that I did n’t need to worry about my payments. Within the next month, I Iearned that that was not in fact the case. I was called by USAA multiple times, and I called USAA multiple times to inform them that I was unable to make my payments and was waiting for the debt protection to make said payments. I ended up having to fill out the debt protection paperwork twice, because they said that I was not out for over 30 days ( this was on XXXX XXXX, 2016, at which point I had in fact been out for more than 30 days ). Because of these delays, USAA has not only assessed both of my accounts with late fees, but they ‘ve also reported my accounts to the credit bureaus. None of this would have happened if the debt protection process was not so cumbersome ( the forms had to be either mailed or faxed ; there are no options to do so electronically ), and if the debt protection had paid on my accounts in a more timely fashion. One of the late charges was reversed, but there are still {.00} worth of late charges that USAA refuses to reverse.

Product: Credit card

Issue: Transaction issue

Full Complaint:
I purchased a XXXX garage door through XXXX. The installer XXXX XXXX XXXX installed damaged panels instead of alerting me to this and installing non-damaged door panels. Furthermore, even by their 3rd visit they still did not install the door hardware or even use the proper bolts, and they damaged the framing of my house too.
Some how XXXX, my credit card issuer, has ruled in XXXX ‘s favour even though XXXX never even sent in any documents! I though sent in 2 letters with photos of the damage and lack of door lock, handle and kickplate! I was told by USAA that I can have the case re-examined by receiving a phone call from the Disputes Analysts assigned to my case ; I said fine as long as they do not call my on my XXXX ( sun down Friday to sundown Saturday ). Lo and behol they call me on my XXXX ( Friday XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX )! The Disputes analyst left me a vm with her call back number and extension. BUT the phone number she left has a system that can take extensions of only XXXX numbers! I called the regular USAA ph number and that rep gave me the direct number to the disputes department. Calling this number I was indeed able to put inthe whole XXXX digit extenson number but every time i call i get her VM and no return phone call!!!
XXXX | XXXX | XXXX My current call log : XX/XX/2017 – left vm @ XXXX XX/XX/2017 – left vm @ XXXX XX/XX/XXXX – left vm @ XXXX & with general VM too USAA is constructivly ignoring me and enying my my contractual rights.

The USAA FEDERAL SAVINGS BANK, XXXX, XXXX, TX XXXX is EMBEZZLING money through access of my account. USAA is accessing an account that has been closed for over 2 years.The XXXX of XXXX, XXXX stated that no activity has taken place on this closed account. Who is able to access a closed account other than an EMBEZZLER? USAA stated that USAA can open a closed account to make deposits but not to withdraw. That ‘s a clear sign of POTENTIAL FRAUD. I have not authorized anyone to transfer any money from or to any other account. I do not know of any SUPPORT THE TROOP accounts. I have provided proof of this FRAUD & USAA still chooses to hold me responsible for an issue in which USAA has n’t provided any authorized transaction on my behalf. I have been calling for the past XXXX days about this matter. No one can show from where & to the money was transferred. There is a clear case of FRAUD & EMBEZZLEMENT. PLEASE HELP ME WITH THIS MATTER.
