Product: Checking or savings account — Checking account
Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low — Overdrafts and overdraft fees
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: LA

Complaint narrative:
Dear Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), I am writing to file a formal complaint against Navy Federal Credit Union regarding an unauthorized overdraft on my checking account and their failure to comply with federal consumer protection regulations. 

Details of the Complaint : Account Holder Name : [ XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  ] Account Number : [ XXXX ] Incident Date : [ XX/XX/year> ] Credit Union XXXX XXXX Navy Federal Credit Union Summary of the Issue : On [ XXXX XXXX ], my checking account with Navy Federal Credit Union was overdrawn, resulting in a negative balance. I did not authorize any transactions that would have led to this situation. Despite multiple communications with Navy Federal, they have refused to rectify the negative balance or acknowledge their non-compliance with federal regulations. 

Key Points of Concern : Unauthorized Overdraft : I did not opt-in for overdraft services on my account. According to the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E, financial institutions must obtain explicit consent from account holders before processing transactions that would result in an overdraft. Navy Federal failed to comply with this requirement.

Failure to Correct the Negative Balance : Navy Federal has not taken any corrective action to rectify the negative balance on my account despite my repeated requests. This has caused significant inconvenience and financial strain. 
Non-Compliance with Federal Regulations : The Credit Card Accountability Responsibility and Disclosure Act ( CARD Act ) mandates transparency and fairness in overdraft practices. Navy Federal 's actions violate these protections by subjecting me to an overdraft without explicit consent.

Attempts to Resolve : I have made several attempts to resolve this matter directly with Navy Federal through their eMessaging service. However, they have responded that they consider the matter closed and have refused to provide a satisfactory resolution. They have failed to address my concerns in accordance with federal consumer protection laws. 

Requested Resolution : I am seeking the CFPB 's assistance in ensuring that Navy Federal : Rectifies the negative balance on my account.

Ensures that no fees or penalties are applied to my account as a result of this incident.

Complies with federal consumer protection laws to prevent such issues in the future.

I have attached copies of the communications with Navy Federal for your reference. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I look forward to your assistance in resolving this issue promptly. 

Sincerely, [ XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX XXXX XXXX ] [ XXXX ] [ XXXX ]

Product: Credit card — General-purpose credit card or charge card
Issue: Closing your account — Company closed your account
Company: JPMORGAN CHASE & CO.
State: AZ

Complaint narrative:
I have been a loyal customer of Chase Bank for over XXXX years. I had a checking account, and multiple credit cards with them. I always made my card payments on time, and never missed a payment. However, last week Chase closed my bank account, and canceled all my credit cards with NO NOTICE or explanation. Chase Bank did not make ANY attempt to notify me of this drastic action : no letter, no email, no phone call. I am still making timely payments to their cards, and being charged interest, without being allowed to use the cards. 

I found out that there was a problem when my credit cards were declined at a gas pump. I immediately contacted Chase Bank to find out why this happened. I have spoken to several people at my bank branch, including the bank manager. They were unable to tell me why it was happening to me. I also contacted people in other departments, and they were unable to give me an explanation for why they closed my bank account and canceled my credit cards. I have done NOTHING wrong! 

Since they closed all my credit accounts, my credit is now destroyed. I have been a loyal customer for XXXX  years! I am shocked that this is happening to me. Their action has quickly ruined my credit. In a few months, I need to apply for a new apartment, so this also affects my ability to find housing. 

Chase Bank needs to be held accountable, and must reverse this decision, and give an explanation. Perhaps someone in their office made an error, as this makes no sense at all. As a banking institution, they should be trustworthy, and know how to do their job effectively. I am a hard-working member of society. I have a job, I have a XXXX, I pay my bills on time. Something needs to be done immediately to reverse this action. This is wrong, and not ethical. Chase Bank has destroyed my livelihood.

Complaint narrative:
" The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system.

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late.

I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record on my SYNCB/JCP - XXXX. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.
