State: FL
Product: Checking or savings account
Sub-product: Other banking product or service
Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I have paid my auto insurance for nine months on time, never a late payment. I have gone from $ XXXX to $ XXXX. On XX/XX/2018, I got into a minor accident because I was told to reverse on a one way road by a XXXX airport employee refused to pop the gate. Anyway, my driver sideview mirror was damaged. I filed a claim through USAA auto insurance since i have my automobile policy through them. They told me to get an estimate from XXXX XXXX and then submit it online and via email. They said i would be issued an electronic payment minus my {$500.00} deductible. 

On XX/XX/2018, at XXXX XXXX, I emailed a copy of the estimate for {$970.00} to XXXX and to XXXX. I also took a picture and uploaded the estimate to the USAA Claims Center portal. I never heard anything back about the status for a couple days. So, on XX/XX/2018, i sent a message via the USAA Claims portal about the status. I was told by XXXX XXXX that on XX/XX/2018 at XXXX CST that my estimate was received and was sent for review. No messages or phone calls or emails after that. On XX/XX/2018, at XXXX CST, I received a portal message stating that a payment of {$390.00} was issued. After doing the math, I noticed there was an {$80.00} decrease in their payment to me, which would result in me not paying {$500.00} for my deductible but {$570.00}. 

I contacted USAA and the first rep, XXXX, was very unaware and didnt have the proper knowledge to assist. I demanded a supervisor. After being on hold for a few minutes XXXX, the Claims supervisor, takes the call. XXXX tells me that XXXX XXXX contacted the dealership on their behalf WITHOUT contacting me first to negotiate a deal on parts and labor. XXXX XXXX DOES NOT negotiate on parts and labor. So, the service tech who was responsible for my estimate, XXXX XXXX, said that the claims rep contacted her and pretty much made her order used parts instead of a new part. The estimate is for a new part, not used. XXXX stated the price of the estimate did not change because USAA prefers a used part. The costs remain the same throughout, which means I have been cheated by USAA.

I lost my job due to Covid in late XXXX and I filed for a hardship through BBVA bank it holds my home equity line which Ive had for five years no one ever told me that it would put put a block on my account so a year later after I started working as self-employed PNC Bank took over for Bbva and as I Attempted to withdraw money to make XXXX on my residence I was told that I was blocked I went to the manager of PNC Bank in XXXX Arizona spoke to XXXX from customer relationships at PNC Bank and XXXX from executive customer relations and no one can tell me why the block was from my account they are assuming its because of the hardship but due to a national pandemic I shouldnt be penalized and take my home-equity line away from me when I need it the most I am not upside down in my mortgage if anything Ive quadrupled my value of my residence and only owe XXXX and its appraised for XXXX. PNC bank has told me to reapply for my home equity line of credit and I need 12 months of self-employment I just became self-employed five months ago I just think its so unfair that I was not told that it would block my home equity line of credit when I took a hardship for the national pandemic. Its amazing that banks can put a block on your loan and not even tell you what the reasons were and I thought it being a national pandemic it wouldnt affect anybody.

Complaint:
I have a credit card with Bank of America. Today I received an email notification thanking me for opening up a checking account. This request was not done by me. I immediately called Bank of America and was told by the initial representative that the account was opened a a " facility '' in XXXX XXXX I do not live in that state nor have ever visited there. She apologized and transferred me to the fraud department. The person in the fraud department was very vague and told me it could have been opened online and maybe in a branch. I though it was odd that the initial customer service person told me where the account was opened, however the fraud department was not sure how or where. She apologized and closed my checking account. Afterwards I logged in to my account to change my password and noticed a secondary phone number and email address was recently added to my account. This was not done by me and even worse I never received any notification of these changes made to my account. I now suspect this was done internally by an employee. I use random XXXX digit passwords and I have XXXX XXXX authentication enabled. This was bypassed to make changes.
