Complaint narrative:
I refinanced my auto loan with USAA with my father as co-signer in the auto loan. As part of the part I add extra insurance called a Debt Protection Coverage which covers if I or he become XXXX and/or dies the loan is paid in full after the 30 days waiting period. There was clause in the Disclosure of the Coverage that the only way that the coverage could be canceled is that the primary ( me ) dies or that I submit in writing that I want the coverage canceled. Unfortunately, my father passed within shortly after the signed that contract with USAA. My family and I received condolences from USAA and thanking us for my father service in the military. They requested a copy of my father 's death 's certificate. Of course, we complied with the requested because at the time it seem that financial institution request an official copy of the death certificate. In the process without any notice, USAA cancelled the Debt Protection Policy on the Auto Loan. I did not send in any document to try to active the policy on my father behalf this was some that they did on their own. I have contact their numerous times requesting documentation on why the policy was fraudulently cancelled and I have been hung on or place on hold for over 1 hour and half. I 've even went into the bank to the teleconference banking and they refuse to send me the documentation as why the policy was fraudulently cancelled. Since the cancelation, I have been diagnosed with XXXX and been XXXX by my condition. This situation is ruining my credit and should not have happened because USAA acted on the account with my knowledge and still will not provide any documentation as to what the damage that they did to the loan/contract agreement.

Complaint narrative:
On XXXX/XXXX/2016 I ordered an Official Check from USAA ( a company with whom I have had a longstanding relationship ) with expedited shipping ( USAA does not specify method ). Five days later the check had still not arrived. No notification was given that the check had been issued or shipped or by what method, nor was any tracking information given. The bank representative on the phone used tracking information not available to me to inform me that the check had supposedly been delivered by XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/16 ( the funds were not debited from my account until XXXX/XXXX/16 ). This Official Check - essentially a cash instrument - was sent by unsecured means with no signature required. No XXXX package ever arrived at the designated address, or if it did it was left in an unsecured location and stolen. I requested that the bank stop payment on this check and immediately issue another check in the exact same amount to the exact same payee but the bank representative refused, stating that their policy prohibited doing so for 90 days - meaning of course that they preferred to leave open the possibility that the check would be fraudulently presented for payment. I escalated the matter to the CEO 's office, which responded promptly to my email ( XXXX was the rep 's name - no last name given ), but then took several more days to " investigate '' before informing me that no exception to their policy could be made despite the fact that it was to both the bank 's and my benefit to stop payment. This is both inexplicable and unacceptable. Our interests in preventing fraud would seem to be aligned in this matter but the bank remains obstinate. Please intervene and assist. Thank you.

Complaint narrative:
I have a credit card account with USAA XXXX. I used the no paper option and conducted all business with them online. Last year I began to have problems with their security system. For reasons I am unable to understand, they began to lock me out of my online account. After the second time this happened, I decided to close the account. I wrote a letter to them dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX requesting that they close the account and send me a final paper statement. I received no response. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I wrote a second letter, requesting the same thing and specifically revoking the " paperless '' option for all my accounts with them. Again, I have received no response. Since, I am locked out of my online account, I ca n't determine if there is any final balance on the account, and if so, how much.

I asked here to please send me a letter explaining the charges and that I am liable and she said that she would not do that but she could tell me over the phone how much I owe.

Company: PROVIDENT FUNDING ASSOCIATES
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Provident Funding services my mortgage. I made my monthly payment ( electronically ). And then signed up for a monthly withdrawl service. They immediately took a XXXX ( unauthorized ) payment out of my checking acct. They acknowledge the XXXX payments were made - this is not in dispute. They have had XXXX payments for over a week. To get my money back, their procedure is as follows : 1 ) I provide them with " screen shots '' of my bank account showing that the XXXX payments have been taken out. 
2 ) They mail me a check. 
This is all simply ridiculous red tape to ensure they hold on to my money. It is unsafe, unfair and egregious. The first step is wholly unnecessary - they have the money, they can see that payment has posted. It is also unsafe - they want me to send sensitive banking information such as my account # and balance in unsecure ways. And then they want to send me a check ... when they clearly have access to my account electronically. Or I can just wait, which conveniently means they get a free loan from me for a month. I have spoken with several people, including managers, in their customer service area. They are unwilling to take any steps to address the issue due to " their policy ''.

Complaint narrative:
The bank is USAA Federal Savings Bank. I have been a customer for over 12 years. The bank allowed access to my checking, savings, and insurance accounts. Within minutes someone had taken a little over {$800.00} out of my accounts. I received notification via email that my car insurance id was ready to access as well as a quote for car insurance. I had not called the bank to do these actions. So I then called the bank but could not access the automated information due to it not recognizing my zip code or other personal identifiers previously in place. When I spoke to a representative I was told the account would not have the changes take effect to the insurance and it seems as someone called in as me. I was travelling so I ended the call but attempted to check my mobile app to determine if my bank account was touched, I was able to access via the app at first and found that there had been transfers from my savings and another checking account into a main account at the bank that I had not authorized. I immediately called the bank back again and after a 30 minute wait to speak to a representative was disconnected during a transfer to security. I had to call back again and waited approximately 30 more minutes to speak to someone again. I advised them that I did not authorize any change, transfers, or withdrawals other than a gas purchase and food purchases not over {$10.00} and wanted to file an unauthorized access to the account. When I advised them that I was travelling for the holiday and I needed my funds, not to let anyone take the money they advised they would allow me to get to an ATM to withdrawal funds. However, my card did not work with the PIN and then I was told the money I saw minutes ago on the app was no longer there because of a XXXX Transfer. I had not authorized a XXXX transfer I had been on the phone within minutes of the unauthorized access due to the account alert from the insurance access. I was stranded during my travels and told it would take 3 - 5 business days before I could access the money or get anything back. USAA would only apologize even though their records show they provided unauthorized access ( they called it suspicious caller ) to my account. A representative made a comment after reading the notes in my account " Oh this is bad ''. They apparently sent a Power of Attorney to someone but I received no form in my email account, which the caller could not even provide the correct email address per the representative. I would like to request the notes on the account so I can read what actually happened. There is a Freedom of Information Act which should allow this. My paycheck will be deposited and I will not be able to access it all due to someone being provided access to my account over the phone and online.

Complaint narrative:
First of all, I was invited or referred to different potential lenders/loan companies, by different matching agencies. Upon deciding to go with that lender, I 'll always try to make sure, its a preapproval type process, and the lender ( s ) would also advertise such thing! At the end of the day, mostly all my acquire lending decisions or choices were thru ; those types of lenders, that offer such renditions! In addition to that, the lenders provided the credit bureaus, info that should n't had been part of the decided factor! For instance, you ca n't make me have, a history with mortgage rates/payments, if in my lifetime I never own my home! I always, and still is in the renting business ( From landlords or apartments managers )! But, mostly all lenders uses this excuse, to disqualify or disapproval purposes, and main reason for or behind their decisions! Since, when in this Country ( USA ), this type of stuff is or became legal? Something is extremely wrong, and insane with this picture, America! Nobody or adults in the earthly realm should be punished, and discriminated against ; due to not being homeowners, and lacking that type of history involvement! This is what I would label as stupidity, garbage in/out, deception, ignorance, and insanity stuck on XXXX, and at its worst!

Complaint narrative:
USAA FSB has restricted my account access online. They say it is due to a previous charge off with a USAA credit card - discharged in XXXX. I am told they are no longer attempting to collect on this debt but since it is a loss on the bank, it is " policy '' to not allow me to access my checking or insurance accounts. Insurance policies are not easily changed and are long term. When I ask for access, they give me a mobile website access for the day, then lock it once more. From my perspective ( and any reasonable person ) USAA continues to try and collect this debt to the level of harassment - and impedes my activity even with other divisions unrelated to the banking. Secondary, they place holds on every deposit for XXXX days, etc. all claiming to be " within policy ''.
