Usaa closed my account after a deposit of XXXX Went into the account. They told me they had to wait 60 days after the account closed to send me a check. This is not so, if they closed my account they have to send me a check now since it is closed. They chose not to do business with me, fine, but they cant try to steal my money by sending a XXXX check to me either in 60 days After it is closed. They confirmed 3 times that it was closed. When I asked them to send it they said it would be 60 days which is illegal. They closed my account the second it was deposited.

Full Complaint:
My father, XXXX XXXX, ( over whose finance I have power of attorney ) has a Flexible Premium annuity that he opened years ago with USAA. Policy number # XXXX. My father called and asked what the taxable liability was on the policy in XXXX and was told roughy XXXX was the taxable liability. The interest on the account was taxable. I asked USAA to transfer XXXX from this annuity to his checking account. USAA never did this even after after my father and I both reached out to them several times. At the end of XXXX ( XX/XX/XXXX ), I sent a transfer of ownership request via US mail to USAA which was received by them on XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX, my father called USAA to inquire why the transfer was not made and was told they were too busy to process the transfer and it would be done soon. Called again in late XXXX, and was told again it was in process. In late XXXX, I received a 1099 form showing a withdrawal of XXXX. I called USAA to inquire why I received this when the money should have been taken out of taxable interest, not principal. USAA responded it was taken out of principal accidentally. USAA now maintains that there is a major ax liability on this policy. The XXXX was taken out of principal not interest mistakenly. My father has called many times and has not been allowed to speak with a supervisor. They will not discuss the matter with me and they have held me on the phone for 30 to 45 minutes while my case was discussed. They still have not transferred ownership to me ( his daughter ) nor they have clarified why they applied the withdrawal to principal rather than interest. They claim they have conducted 3 audits and have offered no explanation. Their attitude has been adversarial. While they claimed to have fixed the mistake there are two secondary effects of this. First, my father wanted to transfer this money to me in Florida where the income tax is lower, so he is now left with a larger tax liability since he has moved to New Jersey. Second, my father has spent countless days and a lot of worry trying to get USAA to fix this problem with zero help. He feels emotionally drained and cheated when this is a company that is supposed to be helping veterans like him. Never once has USAA apologized. Please help me help my father hold USAA accountable.

Full Complaint:
On Saturday XX/XX/2020 someone accessed my account without my knowledge and attempted to send themselves money through XXXX with the name XXXX XXXX. On Sunday XX/XX/2020 I called USAA and informed them, they told me that my account had been compromised and that they fixed it. Later that day my account was once again compromised and a deposit of {00.00} was made. The person was named XXXX XXXX, they sent themselves {0.00} through XXXX once more. The moment I realized someone was in my account I called USAA in tears. The created a fraud claim and told me to call back on Monday XX/XX/2020 at XXXX my time for an update. I called today Monday XX/XX/2020 and was informed that the fraud department found that it wasnt fraud. I was then told to create a dispute because the person on the line didnt understand how it wasnt fraud. I was then on the phone with USAA for an hour and a half being transferred by multiple people just to be told that they will open yet another fraud claim as well as a dispute. Before this my account had {0.00} my account now has – {0.00} that I can not afford due to being laid off cause of COVID-19. They told me it would take YET ANOTHER 1-2 business days to figure out what has been happening. USAA has been no help throughout this and has put me through more emotional damage and trouble than the initial experience.
