Company Official Name: UNITED SERVICES AUTOMOBILE ASSOCIATION
State: KY
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-Product: Checking account
Issue: Managing an account
Sub-Issue: Problem using a debit or ATM card
Full Complaint:
On XX/XX/2020 my account was hacked where the hacker initiated a {00.00} funds transfer from my outside XXXX account to my USAA checking account which USAA made available immediately. As I had USAA on the phone, the hacker then did a wire transfer of {00.00} from the USAA account to their bank. In real time, USAA initiated an investigation into the wire transfer. I stopped payment on the transfer from XXXX ( there was not enough funds in that account to even cover such a transfer ) which caused an overdraft in my USAA account. Rather than crediting this fraudulent amount back to my USAA account, they left it overdrawn. Fast forward to now … I have tried several times to follow up on this investigation and can’t get anyone on the phone. I have been told on three separate occasions that they have put in for a call back and that it could take up to 3 business days. Still, NO CALL BACK. In addition, the bank has called me two times to collect this ” debt ” I have explained each time that it was fraud and being investigated … this didn’t seem to make a difference. They told me that if I didn’t make it current they would close the account and charge it off. As of XX/XX/2020, the account has been removed from my access, closed and charged off. this is not acceptable. In addition, they owe me money that was already in the account when this occurred and the profit sharing that we were awarded and was put into this overdrawn account.

Full Complaint:
ON XX/XX/2020 I attempted to obtain a VA home loan. When I checked XXXX, it showed that I had XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts with USAA. I was denied the loan. I contacted XXXX and they verified the reported information of the same date. I contacted USAA. This false reporting is violation of 807. False or misleading representations. USAA may not use any false, deceptive, or misleading representation or means in connection with the collection of any debt. Without limiting the general application of the foregoing, the following conduct is a violation of this section : ( 1 ) The false representation or implication that the debt collector is vouched for, bonded by, or affiliated with the United States or any State, including the use of any badge, uniform, or facsimile thereof.
( 2 ) The false representation of ( A ) the character, amount, or legal status of any debt ; or ( B ) any services rendered or compensation which may be lawfully received by any debt collector for the collection of a debt.
The attached XXXX report confirms that USAA currently is incorrectly reporting that I have XXXX XXXX XXXX accounts.
