Full Complaint:
On XXXX XX/XX/2020, I submitted a claim ( # XXXX ) with USAA Federal Savings Bank because there had been fraudulent activity on my account. I submitted the claim because money was transferred from my account via XXXX for a total of {0.00}. The person who stolen the funds, I have no relation nor have I made any purchase of any kind. The person is named XXXX XXXX, phone number XXXX. To access XXXX for any transfer, I process the system through the USAA mobile app and I receive an notification to my personal email immediately following any transaction. Well, for this transaction I did not receive any notification or did not make the transaction. The individual is not listed in my recipient either. The individual hacked into my USAA and XXXX themselves {0.00}. The individual had made this transaction on XX/XX/2020, again, I did not receive the notification to my personal email and I did not noticed until XX/XX/XXXX, XXXXOnce I became aware I notified USAA immediately letting them know that was not me, following all the procedures to update/change security information and to submit the claim. The representative told me the documents will be mailed to me at my mailing address when the investigation was complete. I have been quarantined since XX/XX/2020 and was teleworking due to XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I just so happen to look into MyDocuments on the USAA app, and there was a letter that I was suppose to receive by mail stating there were no findings. This letter also informed me to call the bank if I had any further questions. I called the number a total of 5-6 times, each time a new representative submitting in a ” request ” for someone from the fraud department to contact me as well sending documents on what was investigated. I even called XXXX with an USAA representative on the phone to see if they can see it on their end. I was told by XXXX that they couldn’t see the transaction and it was done through my banking app, which is USAA, so they are held accountable. It is now XX/XX/2020, and I have yet to receive a phone call or those documents. I have been a member for 10 years ( since I joined the XXXX ) and never have I been treated and ignored in this manner.

Full Complaint:
I have tried to dispute 3 charges for a cruise which was canceled by XXXX XXXX per my deposit agreement.1st USAA claimed that VISA was prohibiting them from completing the dispute and that I needed to allow XXXX ” reasonable ” time to process refunds.I allowed this time to pass. However, I did not receive my refund and requested USAA to reopen my original dispute. USAA is doing everything in their power to avoid assisting me with this matter! Asking me to wait for call backs which take over 24 hours and if you miss the call it takes another 24 hours …. I have submitted along list of documents to USAA to support my claim including a copy of my cruise contract, proof that it was canceled and copy of the documents that XXXX sent me confirming that I would get a refund in 45 days. At this point I feel as thought USAA is in direct volition of our deposit agreement as they they have only opened one of the 3 disputes for the smallest charge. continued refusal to assist with this matter will only continue finical harm.

Full Complaint:
I am at wits end with USAA, and as a 19 year member I have been treated unfairly. These people do not care about their members. Well the XXXX Americans members, I say that because from my experience and the neglect that Ive had to endure. There has been multiple situations where USAA could have come through to mitigate to lessen my damages but gave me the XXXX kiss and I strongly feel that if I were not XXXX-American I would not be going thru this XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX A traumatic injury on the job, my management falsified my records, to maliciously get my Workers Comp. denied. The denial costed me seven months with zero income. Finally got it approved XX/XX/2019 I did everything I could to communicate with USAA to work something out but not one person considered any thing and it was a straight up no and I was giving their XXXX to kiss. USAA would have lessened my damages to prevent service lapsing and out of all the calls out of all the emails, No one did anything and did not try to do anything gave me the XXXX to kiss.
When the COVID-19 issue got to Georgia and my doctor gave me instructions and because of my chronic illness I am at high risk and if I contract the con virus I am at high risk for serious severe complications. I have given detailed emails I have spoken with people all way from the top to bottom These people still could careless and I get their XXXX kiss Still.
My situation has nothing to do anything that Ive done but has everything to do with the process that I have to go through because others try to manipulate the system and misrepresent facts to unlawfully bring harm to me.
USAA does not care about the members at least we are black XXXX-American. And I believe that due to my experiences. I could have been out of date long time ago into a better situation but if your bank that youve been with for 19 years and your father has been with this particular institution since he was XXXX years old cant give you anything something is wrong.

So, initially I had four credit cards with U.S.A.A in XXXX of 2019 I realized that with accruing debts needing to be paid would prevent me from paying. I talked with several representatives over phone, via U.S.A.A. chat. I attempted to set up automatic payment plans with the four credit card accounts around XXXX or XXXX, much to my chagrin after two months of believing auto-draft would take, I then became delinquent.
