Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: OR

Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-Issue: Transaction was not authorized

Full Complaint:
On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX {00.00} was removed from my USAA checking account without authorization. Someone called USAA on the phone & convinced them to send a cashier check to a person & place that I have never heard of. I have all of the specific info regarding who the check was made out to & the address the check was sent to.

I & the others on this account spent much of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX on the phone with the bank that sent the check. They said they would try to get the money back but it is probably gone. There were also a couple other fees charged to us at the same time, for the unstoppable check & expedited mailing.

I filed a police report. The money is still gone.

Complaint Details:

Date of Complaint: January 11, 2018

Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION

State: CA

Product: Mortgage
Sub-Product: VA mortgage

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Full Complaint:
USAA has raised my fix VA loan payment approx $ 176 monthly in retaliation for exposing their taking of a double hazard payment from my escrow account. USAA refused to return the mandatory over payments they charged me to makeup the shortage caused by the double hazard payment of approx {0.00} and then charged me an additional approx {0.00}. in fees.

The increase in the monthly payment corresponds with the amount referenced above originally misappropriated to cover the escrow shortage created by their taking a double hazard payment and additional fees.

USAA then continually changes the point of contact requiring that the new POC have a ” few days ” to review the matter. This wastes time, causes significant delays and unearned fees to be collected even when USAA knows the fees are not valid. I have been unsuccessful in getting the assigned rep to return calls and the servicing company XXXX to answer or return calls. Both companies avoid the matter and if they call provide half answers or no answers at all again requiring a ” few days ” to ” research ” the matter.
