1. ) In XX/XX/XXXX in violation of fair credit billing laws USAA reversed the decision on a billing dispute made in my favor from XX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX a year prior. 2. ) At that time I requested all documentation obtained during their investigation, and documentation used in making their decision. I have yet to receive any documentation for my USAA XXXX XXXX which had the largest discrepancies and errors. 3. ) I received billing statements for my two USAA XXXX Cards, none of these statements had any of the requested documentation relating to USAA ‘s investigation and decision to take adverse actions. 4. ) I still have not received a billing statements for my USAA XXXX XXXX and since USAA restricted my online access back in XX/XX/XXXX I have had no way of knowing what they are actually doing. I say this because USAA has failed to maintain open lines of communication or provide the requested documentation as required by law. 5. ) The timeline provided by regulation Z to finalize all billing disputes has already expired, as well as the timeline allowed for USAA to provide the requested documentation.
6. ) USAA might say they made several attempts to send me the documents. However in a discussion with XXXX from the collections department as of XX/XX/XXXX all my documents and communication with USAA was still set to be delivered online on USAA.com. Meaning, I was unable to access them due to USAA restricted my onilne account access in XX/XX/XXXX. Furthermore, I made repeated requests verbally and in writing for these documents and was assured by more than 10 agents I would receive them. To this day for the USAA XXXX XXXX I have not received any documents.

Full Complaint:
USAA Federal Savings Bank is retaliating against me for filing complaint number XXXX for failing to refund my money on a credit card. I called them to report a Dispute on my USAA Checking Account and they have done nothing for 5 days, but give me excuses why they can not give me a provision credit. I have all the documentation for the two charges of {.00} for a Deposit for Electric Services and {0.00} for prepaid energy services that XXXX XXXX was unable to deliver upon. XXXX XXXX said they could get me electric service in about 7 days. They said they could not get me the service after I paid them my last {0.00} because I needed to get and Easement from some unknown person and they sent me a bill for {00.00} approx that they did not discuss when I opened the account. I have closed the account and they have not refunded my money. USAA has not assigned anyone to investigate the case, because they are trying to create Fake Fees OVERDRAFTS in my account. This is retaliation and the FDIC should be notified, because they must be some pretty big irregularities at USAA. It sounds like some kind of Ponzi Scheme is going on at USAA.
