Navy Federal Credit Union

Have been fighting almost a year to receive my money that was taken out of my account by Stg Auto Chrysler and Santa Ana. It seems I jumped out of the frying pan into the fire. These companies have taken everything. Chrysler wiped my account out. Chrysler lies and say they didn’t and the proof is there. Stg Auto refuses to pay back what they took. It had no reason to take credit card payments. I didn’t even own a credit card. No security alert. No call for unusual activity. Nephi Navy dropped the ball. While I’m fighting another 500 comes through. No mention of all of these charges. I’m finding out by different representatives as well as different rules. When does it ever become OK to lose your money and be told it’s too late or it’s been too long. I give a damn if it’s been one day before Jesus returns if I didn’t authorize it if it wasn’t my doing and if it was my money and I didn’t spend it it’s due to me.

Navy Federal Credit Union you should be ashamed of yourselves. So this is how you treat families of our service men and women. I've been dealing with these people for over 2 months now. All they did was put me off, keep me on the phone for hours, make me fax forms over and over again. They told me my check went out 5/31. Today I find out nothing went out, nothing was in my file. So I said, "You guys basically just lied." She said, "Yes." This is totally UNACCEPTABLE. I will continue posting, filing complaints everywhere I can.

This credit union is completely incompetent at sending international bank transfers. They cannot seem to comprehend that other countries do not have things like postal codes. They need to hire people with some international experience so they can better understand how to do business globally.

I applied for membership at NFCU 6 months ago. I opened a savings account and deposited money in the account. I then received a credit card from the company but was never given access to the card because the account was restricted. They asked for verifying documents of my address and identity which I complied with. Never heard a response back from them. I had to chase them down and asked the status. They told me to drive to a branch location (nearest was 2 hours away) to provide the supporting documentation.

Navy Federal Credit Union has worse customer service than NetSpend, my wallet was stolen. I filed a police report and fraud claim on charges that were on my card. For three days I called and they did nothing, mind you I had already been into the bank and she did not tell me that they had frozen my account. She just gave me a new card and said it would be ready to use. I tried to go to the gas station and found out I couldn’t do anything with my account via debit card or in the branch.

What a lousy organization. $1 Charge to withdraw money even from their own atms. 5 day hold on checks deposited. Others at least release 10%. Staff doesn't seem to care. Why do business with this organization? Not me. Average rating 2 stars well deserved if not less!

Today was launch of new system. I can't get in to view account details and balance. After updating with new password, screen is blank and because it is after hours there is no one to help. New system should have been thoroughly tested before implementation and there should be extended customer service for implementation period (at least a few days)...apparently neither so that the type of customer service to expect. Other negative review about 30+ minute hold times support my opinion.

The reason is they are a terrible credit union! I will tell you that they do not know what they are doing. They approved my mom's check I deposit on the mobile app. My mom forgot to sign it, I did not catch it so two days later on they just froze everything. I was really upset I called the security of the bank. They said, "We cannot unfreeze your account for five days!" A weird lady started asking me, "Oh you have too much money going out of your account!" She was asking me questions that did not pertain to the check. I was upset. I went to the bank to try to close my account and they said my account is frozen. I was upset I started cussing and I am 100% disabled Veteran. I am manic depressive disorder.

I regret opening my bank account here because of the problems me and my wife have encountered when we have to service our account. Maybe you will be lucky and not have any issues, but anytime I go into the local branch every worker there has an attitude and gives the general feeling of not wanting to work there. What's worse is when I come to them with my issue they correct me as if I caused the problem. If that's not an example of poor customer service I challenge you to find worse. I tend to be an understanding guy, but screw the idiots at this bank and branch. Even Wells Fargo wasn't this bad.

I have been a member of NFCU for 43 years and have found the credit union to be top notch. I’ve had bank accounts with other banks over the years. Primarily because the company I worked for would auto deposit my pay only at their bank. But I have always maintained my NFCU account. NFCU has financed every car I’ve bought in the past 20 years and they even finance my house. The staff are always friendly and go out of their way to be helpful and resolve any issue that arises. Everyone in my family is a member and I encourage everyone who qualifies to join.

Navy Federal would not issue me another card without my sending proof of my identification, which of I course was lost with my wallet.

I and my business partner took an early Friday morning off to set up a business checking account at NFCU. I had everything prepared application, certificate of formation, consent from directors and an EIN verification. We arrived at 1000 hrs at a branch in Sugar Land, Texas. We were told to wait in the lobby and within 5 minutes a young man shows up and I noticed that his badge was upside down so I let him know (this was an omen). He explains to us that not only do the two of us have to be on the account but our 2 other Board of Directors as well. I tell him no, that does not sound right. So he calls the business HQs and they tell him that the other directors do not need to be on the account but eligible to be members.

I've seen a lot of post bad experience, but mine has been by far a really good experience. Any fraudulent activities on my account had been taken care of immediately regardless if it was my credit card or checking. I recently found out about getting my paycheck released a day early and that is always a plus when something happens. When I need to get that done, the rep just verifies some information and my funds are available within minutes. Yes, the return check fee is a bit high, but that's where you should be responsible with spending. I think my only issue would be that the interest on the credit cards are too high. Other than that my family and I all love Navy Fed.

I wanted to refinance my house, and in talking to NFCU's representative, they said it would be faster to apply for membership with a deposit. I went online several times and tried to get an account. Their temporary pin and verification system was a nightmare. After they gave me the loan information, I decided not to refinance. So, about 20 months later from when I opened my account, I got a letter informing me I owed NFCU money. I discovered NFCU had been charging me $5/month for an "e-checking" account from my ($100) savings account. I don't know if the checking and savings accounts are severable; but if it had been an Everyday Checking a $50 deposit would have covered any fees.

My husband is been with Navy Federal 24 years. The last 5 years Navy Federal is a pain in my **. Customer services is the worse. They no want to help or have some excuses, I have two loan with them. One is a consolidation loan. I ask for put the 2 loan in one. They say, "No. We no do consolidation loan." Really? I have one with them, I no ask for more money. I ask put the two loan in one payment one interest. They say no, they want to have two payments. Every time I say this to another person say this is really no right that why I change bank.

These idiots must think people are stupid (maybe we are for banking with them)!!! I had an available credit of $10,350.71 on my credit yesterday. I used my card for business purposes and spent $4,125.54, which left me with a remaining credit of $6,374.63. I made a payment of $6,000 after my purchases. This should give me an available credit of $12,374.63 once the payment clears. I went onto the site to see if the payment cleared, and found out that I had an available balance of $2,374.63. Then it showed I had a credited amount of $4,009.78.

I've been banking with NFCU since 2000. I finally have the chance to find out how their customer service department and "digital service department" treat their client. I have a monthly direct deposit to my account hoping to accumulate funds for my kids future. I forgot my password for online access so I contacted the customer service department and digital service department. I went through almost 6 hours of hassle attempting to have my "code word" removed.

I applied for a pre-qual mortgage letter and received one after providing all required information including the fact that I have an approved retirement date. Having received an approved pre-qual I signed a contract on a home, paid for a home inspection and proceeded with the purchase process until I was notified that they would in fact NOT lend me the money to purchase a home as I was retiring in eight months. After I was denied I asked if they would please email me the credit report that they charged me $18.50 for and they refused stating that I would receive a copy from Equifax in 7-10 business days. Even though they had a digital copy of my report, they refused to send a copy to me. I have borrowed from Navy Fed for mortgages twice before without issue or concern but the level of service and lack of thorough screening in the pre-qual process cost me $348.50 that could have been avoided.

My husband and I have been going through Navy Federal and taking advantage of his VA benefits for our new mortgage. Navy Federal has been the absolute worst when it comes to this process. It started out great, low interest rate, getting information over to them and getting decent feedback. Then all of a sudden our rep through Navy Federal dropped us to a new person. We have since then been bounced between these two reps without any explanation as to why. And that person then started asking for information we had already provided. Claiming it wasn't received. Then we would get the info into them again, ask if they needed anything else, receiving a "no" response.

We have been with NFCU for 30+ years. We recently applied for a mortgage loan and were promised for a prompt response. We have an outstanding credit 800+. It took our mortgage officer over a week to call us regarding our application and it was very apparent that she had never looked at our application when she called. She did not even know who the vet was and I had included the DD214 in the package. I asked that her supervisor give me a call. It has been six weeks. No call. I have called and it is impossible to reach anyone to speak with them. We went through NFCU before and it was wonderful. Their practices and ethics have taken a nose dive. Do NOT use this company. There are no longer any ethics. They will lie when the truth would do better.

I didn't care for them the last time I used them. I thought well maybe things are better after 10 years or more. I was wrong. First, if you have any money in your account and you are late on a bill they take all they need. I've talked to other people this has happened to. Second, no matter how many loans you have they will be due on the same date. The date is based on your account number. Apparently, the 11th is my date. I asked a lady to change it... her response was "well... pay your bills a month early." While that would be nice, I hope to get to that point.

Navy Federal notified me by phone that someone was fraudulently using my credit card. The representative advised of the charges and situation and said they would handle it, and not to worry. I kept in contact with them regarding the additional charges that were made. They cancelled my card and husband's cards and sent new cards by overnight mail. 3 months later the larger of the fraudulent charges were placed by on my account with my knowledge. I went online to make my payment and noticed my card was way over the limit. I put in a dispute for the charges and the agent basically accused me of lying because there is a chip in my card. Since I'm not a criminal, I know nothing about Chips. I've spoken with 3 representatives and they still have not removed the charges. My credit scores have been affected by this, since my card is over it's limit! Terrible customer service!!!!!

I've been a member since the first few weeks of boot camp in Jan 2001. In that 17 years they've only me no once when I needed a loan or credit and had nowhere else to turn. I'll admit the interest rates could be better for some of the services, especially for a long-term member; but they are still competitive with the market. Overall, I love being a member!

My husband and I have been banking with NFCU for over 7 years now. He was active duty in the USMC, but now he is retired. We also bank with Truliant, and the only reason we didn't use NFCU is because they didn't provide the type of account we needed. NFCU has always really helped us out through many different situations of financial hardship, but I'll just share the experience I had today with them.

I had applied for a small personal loan. I make more than enough money to pay the loan back but we had an emergency and I asked to borrow $7K. I have been with them for years. Twice they screwed my credit up by making hard inquiries and denying a credit increase. Last time they put it in the system like 8 times and it dropped my score. My credit score is in the 600s. It’s not great but could be worse they told me. We use not only credit but other factors, after giving the woman my information I get "oh I'm sorry you have been denied". What? You know that after 5 minutes on the phone with me?

I paid a credit card off in full to Navy Federal. Had payments taken out of my Wells Fargo account, told them to stop after I paid them in full, Navy Federal would not stop nor would they despot the money back into my Wells Fargo account. They said I gave them permission to take money out... not for ever. I did not. My account was paid in full and they kept taking money even after I told them not to... STAY AWAY FROM HERE. Going to a lawyer. And they are charging me for my checks I charged back to them, going to small claims court. DO NOT SET UP AUTOMATIC PAYMENTS. THEY WILL NOT STOP TAKING MONEY!

This bank is horrible, they help themselves to your hard earned money! Don’t dare have a emergency and be behind on a payment, not only will they take it out of your account without your permission, they will freeze your account! Thanks for being understanding Navy Federal, had a family emergency and they took my child care payment out of my account and left the account in the negative, now my loan payment is not 5 days past due anymore but I can’t go to work!! Wouldn’t even let me make the payment up next week!

I lost my car in electrical short wire 5 mos. ago. So I wanted to get car loan for another car. They "no" in 1 minute now. My credit is low now. But I have been with Credit Union for 25 years. Now can't work any overtime because of no car. Well I'm upset. This credit union get 4 F's in attitude toward Veterans like me not let succeed.

My husband deposited the gift I gave him into Navy Federal Credit Union. Navy Federal Credit Union kept the deposit, froze his account and lied to both the CFPB and Senator John McCain about the deposit. I found the CFPB response letter where Navy Federal Credit Union states the names provided do not constitute sufficient information to enable us to identify any applicable accounts at Navy Federal Credit Union. I have sent a copy of that letter and Navy Federal Credit Union account statement showing how long the account has been open to both the CFPB and Senator John McCain.

This is the second time they took my money without my authorization. I had an overdraft account that I told them I would pay off in December. I moved over $300 to my savings. They grabbed it out my account today and said it was sent over to my old account. No one sent me a letter saying they were going to do this or nothing.
