The main USAA number is 1-800-531-8722. Secure messaging inside the USAA app or on usaa.com is often the better route, because it leaves a written record of exactly what you asked and what you were told, which is what matters later. Have your member number, the claim or account number and the relevant dates in front of you, and at the end of every call ask for the name of the person you spoke to and a reference number for the call.

Told one thing on a call and something different in writing? Start your complaint here: we open a case and keep coaching you after you file, on what to reply, when to push and how to escalate.

Ask for the decision in writing, with the specific policy wording it rests on: a denial you cannot read is a denial you cannot argue against. Then build the other side of it with photos, independent repair estimates, medical or contractor reports and your own policy documents, and put the dispute in writing rather than settling it by phone. Ask for the claim to be reviewed by a supervisor or a different adjuster and keep every reference number.

If the review comes back the same, you can take it to the insurance regulator in your state, which is the state department of insurance, and ask them to look at how the claim was handled. A complaint filed through our complaint process backs that up: we bring your case to their attention through emails, social media and paper complaint letters.

Ask for the specific reason for the hold and the date it is expected to lift, and ask for it through secure messaging rather than over the phone so the answer is in writing. Keep the deposit confirmation, the check images and screenshots of what the account showed at the time, because a screenshot from the day it happened is worth far more than a description of it a month later. If the money left another bank and never landed, ask the sending bank for the trace details as well.

If a hold has left you unable to pay something on time, put that in writing when you ask for the review. The consequences of the hold belong in the same complaint, not in a separate one.

Work upwards in order and keep the paper trail: the agent, then a supervisor, then a written request for the matter to go to a formal complaint or executive review, quoting the earlier reference numbers each time so nobody can treat it as a brand new question. Set out what happened, what you asked for and what you were told, with dates, and keep it factual.

Outside the company, banking and lending matters can be raised with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, and insurance matters with your state department of insurance. Bring the same account to your complaint here and we set out the reference numbers, the dates and what you were told at each level in minutes.

Be careful. Scammers fake USAA's phone number so the call looks genuine, then say your account has been compromised and ask for your login details or a one-time code sent to your phone. USAA has said it will never call and ask for your login information, so never read a code back to a caller.
