Consumer complaint received 2023-07-29 00:00:00
Product: Mortgage — Conventional home mortgage
Issue: Applying for a mortgage or refinancing an existing mortgage — 
Company: NAVY FEDERAL CREDIT UNION
State: DC

Complaint narrative:
Navy Federal Credit Union ( NFCU ) violated my consumer protection rights on two basis. First, I applied for but withdrew my mortgage application, and without my consent, it was still submitted to underwriting. Second, because I was not given notice and opportunity to address the factors considered in my mortgage application, I have no choice but to believe the decision to deny my application was made based on my race. 

First, on or about XX/XX/2023, I submitted a mortgage application to NFCU. 

On XX/XX/2023, XXXX XXXX, NMLS ID # XXXX, of NFCU contacted me and inquired of information from me regarding my application. XXXX XXXX informed me that i should lower my requested loan amount by {$100000.00}, from {$500000.00} to {$400000.00} due to debt to oncome ration from my student loans. XXXX XXXX informed that otherwise, my application would be denied. I instructed XXXX XXXX to hold my application before sending to underwriting because I would not be able to purchase a home with the suggested loan request in a high cost of living metropolitan area. XXXX XXXX informed me that I would have the opportunity to submit documents indicating my true debt monthly payments to underwriting. After conducting further research, on that same day of XX/XX/2023, I learned that I pre-qualified with another lender with the requested amount of {$500000.00}. 

Subsequently, on XX/XX/2023, I exercised my right to rescind my mortgage application by providing written and oral notification to withdrawing my application. Hence, at this juncture the application should have been reported as a withdrawn application. 

Second, yet, without my consent, XXXX XXXX forwarded this application to underwriting. I was never notified that application was moving forward and I was additionally never given the opportunity to submit evidence regarding my monthly student loan debt payments. 

Nearly a month later, XX/XX/2023 at XXXX XXXX in the morning, I received notice that NFCU took adverse action and not only forwarded the application to underwriting, without my consent, but denied it. The denial allows NFCU to report the application as denied, instead of withdrawn. This adverse action affects my credit and credit oppurtunity to buy a home as an African-American single woman. It further affects the reportable data of denied home applications, specifically as it pertains to the home mortgage application approval gap between XXXX XXXX and other races. This widens the existing disparity. I believe NFCU took the adverse action based on my race, as I was not given notice and opportunity to address the factors considered in my mortgage application.
