My husband passed away on XXXX XXXX, 2015. In XXXX of 2015, I contacted Navy Federal Credit Union to inform them of his death. He had a credit card with them. I asked what I should do about the account. They told me that since I was an Authorized User that I was responsible for the account and if I chose to keep the account open that I could. So, I chose to keep the account open. I have used the account for six months, and payed over {$20000.00} in balances. I have spoke to them on several occasions for the last six months when they froze the account, saying it was suspicious activity. I would call them, tell them yes that I made those charges and they would unfreeze the account. Never a word was mention to me about the account was going to be closed. I tried to use my card today and it was declined. When I got home from work, I called NFCU and asked them to unfreeze my account. It was at this time, I was told the account had been closed. I asked by whom, and they told me and I quote, " Well, there was someone else on this account ''. My reply was yes, my deceased husband. I was then informed because my husband had passed away, that because I was only an Authorized User, that I was not liable for this account. After being told that I was when I called and told them of my husband 's passing. They waited until I had paid the credit card down to almost nothing and with no notification or reasoning why, they closed the account. So, in other words, because I was only an Authorized User, they lied to me when I told them my husband had passed and told me I was liable, and after paying pretty much the entire balance off, they closed the account. My late husband and I have had this account for at least twenty three years. It was my only credit card. It was my emergency credit card. They should not be allowed to do this to people. They should have been upfront from the beginning and tell me, no I was n't liable for it. Instead they chose to lie and take over {$20000.00} XXXX that I could have desperately used somewhere else ) from a grieving widow. My husband served this country and I served this country, and this was completely wrong. Thank you in advance for any assistance that you can help me with this. They should n't be allowed to get away with this. i did what I thought I was supposed to do, but they lied and stole.
