At whatever point there is a significant life occasion I called USAA of my divorce, deployments, activation to XXXX XXXX, and even promotions I accept that they have done as such because my location was refreshed. USAA has a debt protection plan, in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX I called and inform USAA of my military status and my address I also ask specifically about the debt protection I was told I was informed that retirement doesn’t warrant the utilization of the debt protection plan. On or about sometime in XX/XX/XXXX I called USAA credit card services to update them that I am a XXXX veteran I then asked about the debt protection plan they stated that my credit card payment and that there was anything they can do about my debt. I called sporadically of the year from XXXX to currently. On or about XXXX I called the number that was present of debt protection ; I was informed that all the calls of debt on the credit cards was a gross misguidance, I had on or about 275 days to have applied and that as of now that my time had lapsed however that can be corrected if I call USAA and advise them regarding the inaccurate data and of my contacts that should fix it.
