Navy FCU Mortgage Complaint

Home equity loan or line of credit Credit decision / Underwriting

Home equity loan or line of credit Credit decision / Underwriting Virginia

On - -, 2016, I received a letter from Navy Federal Credit Union which advised me that my Home Equity Line of Credit was being suspended due to " a review of my credit history including a decline in my credit score '' This infuriates me because this credit line is a credit extension that is related to my home. Basically this change is a call in of a loan that to my understanding gave me a 20 year " draw '' period in which I was able to utilize the credit. This LOC is not even a year old. I was never advised that there was a minimum credit score that I had to maintain, nor was I ever told that they could call the loan in whenever they desired. I have never missed a payment since opening this account and was late only once because my direct deposit from my job did not take place on the date that it was supposed to and the ACH did not properly process. This payment was made as soon as I realized what happened. Navy Federal tells me in the letter that I can appeal their decision but I would have to pay for an new appraisal, which I believe was $560.00, so basically I can pay a fee to gain access to what I was already provided with. I believe that amounts to holding my account hostage. My home has not lost its value and my credit worthiness has not changed in relation to my ability to maintain my obligations and I should not have to beg for a loan on my home that I have already been given.
