Full Complaint:
Per USAA, on XX/XX/2018 an individual was able to access my USAA.com account and added an account that they would later use to transfer funds out of my savings accounts and into it. On XX/XX/2018, my account was again accessed and {00.00} were transferred into my savings account from an old linked account from another financial institution ( which that account was no longer active ). USAA ‘s policy is to make those funds immediately available and the individual that initiated the transfer then moved them out of my savings account to the account that they added on the XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX we received a return of funds and an insufficient funds fee when USAA realized the that there was no funds in the account where the original transfer was requested. Upon seeing that I was overdrawn on XX/XX/XXXX I contacted USAA to report that their was fraudulent activity in my account and USAA started a fraud investigation. Their response came back that there was no fraudulent activity and they claim this by stating the funds transfer was conducted by someone that was logged in under my credentials. 6 weeks later I am still battling with USAA and I am getting no help from them with regards to what I need to be able to provide to them to help plead my case.

Full Complaint:
A balance transfer of {00.00} was posted to my USAA credit card on XX/XX/XXXX. This is a bogus transfer to my USAA account. I contacted USAA on XX/XX/XXXX and informed them that his was a bogus transaction. I was told they would correct the transaction in 2 to 5 business days. I called again on Friday to make sure there were no problems with their protocol. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called to find out why the {00.00} amount was still showing up on my account. I got the run around again.
