Issue: Closing an account
Sub-Issue: Can't close your account
Full Complaint:
USAA has a predatory policy of requiring accountholders to wait 24 hours after any transaction has posted to the checking account prior to closing the account. This policy generates fee income for the bank, harms consumers, and is not consistent with the policy of other large financial institutions. I can walk into any competitor 's banking center, bring the account to a {{{mpg_replace}}.00} balance, and close the account on demand. I have repeatedly contacted USAA to close my account since XX/XX/XXXX. I was told initially that the account could not be closed on XX/XX/XXXX because there is a 5 day required waiting period after any direct deposit posts to the account. Two NSF fees hit the account on XX/XX/XXXX and I transferred funds to bring the account to a XXXX balance. Stop payments were supposed to have been placed so that any retry would be denied. I requested to close account on XX/XX/XXXX and again on XX/XX/XXXX, both days the account had a XXXX balance. The representative again refused to close the account since " it has not been 24 hours since your deposit to bring the account to a XXXX balance has been made. '' I have spent hours on the phone with USAA customer service and spoke to a supervisor, XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX. I expressed concern with the policy that harms consumers and continues to generate fees for the bank, and XXXX stated " there is not even a button that allows me to close the account. '' I offered to drive from XXXX to XXXX XXXX to close the account in person. Again, I was told you can't close the account in person either. XXXX said he could see a returned item coming through the account and would wait until the next morning to refund the NSF fee and call me by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX to confirm that he had completed the transaction. He did not follow through, and I called again to speak to a manager on XX/XX/XXXX. I was promised that a " supervisor '' would call me back. No one has called. USAA has failed to act in good faith, and hides behind the veil of the call center - not allowing customers to contact managers/bank officers with any meaningful authority. USAA even sent their own payments back through the account a second time for an insurance policy that had been paid in full ( valuable personal property ). Stop payments are not honored and more fees are assessed. This type of behavior led to a class action settlement in XXXX. I have been a customer for 12 years with no problems and have a credit score of XXXX.
