Consumer Narrative
I am filing a complaint regarding Navy Federal Credit Unions handling of unauthorized electronic fund transfers under Regulation E. I did not authorize the disputed transactions and reported the fraud immediately upon discovery. The funds taken were from an injury settlement. I am XXXX and currently unemployed, and the loss has caused significant financial hardship. The fraudulent activity occurred through linked digital services ( including XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX ), not through physical card use. My phone was temporarily out of my possession during the period when unauthorized access occurred. I have evidence indicating my account information was compromised electronically, including recovered messages showing coordination between scammers. Further supporting that this was fraud, XXXX XXXX restricted and prohibited attempted transfers involving my accounteven when funds were being routed through my sisterindicating that XXXX independently detected account compromise or suspicious activity. If the transactions had been authorized, these restrictions would not have been applied. Despite notifying Navy Federal promptly and advising that the activity was unauthorized, additional transfers were permitted to occur. Access was not adequately restricted after notification. I filed reports with the FTC and FBI and can provide a police report if required. My account history shows no legitimate reason or pattern consistent with the disputed transactions. Navy Federal has delayed resolution and has not provided provisional credit or a clear timeframe, despite Regulation E requirements. I am requesting CFPB assistance to ensure Navy Federal complies with federal law and returns the unauthorized funds. Ive sent multiple snapshots of the data breach that occurred prior to this incident, I was even at a XXXX XXXX days before this happened. There is high probability in my account was compromised. And as mentioned when Navy Federal asked me if I authorized the transactions I responded no through their automated messages and they still allowed it to happen.
