Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2023 my wife made a payment mistakenly to the wrong account as she is XXXX and we have 2 of the same branded vehicles with a XXXX in the name, I typically make all payments on both accounts, however I am a XXXX XXXX and I refuse to text and drive by any means! I checked to see if she made it on the correct account and saw it was for the second vehicle. Called Ally Financial and they talked to me for 35-40 minutes coming to a resolution in which they will apply that amount of XXXX ( regular monthly payment ) from one account to the other, and told me if anything was reported to the credit bureaus to simply call back and they will help me get it off. However they called back 11 days later saying they changed their mind and now they dont want to do it the way that we agreed. I was lied to and I even have a recording of the phone call for my personal records just in case they tried something like this. They also have a recording from that exact phone call XX/XX/2023 in which I asked them to review but I have not yet heard anything about the review process Please help make sure that they are held responsible and not to mislead consumers by telling them one thing and changing there minds 2 weeks later

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: I made a purchase XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, the company I made the purchase through XXXX is believed to have shutdown their business. I began a dispute due to not receiving my product from the company and since the bank ( ally ) shows it as an authorized transaction they will not follow through with the chargeback. I would go through the company but they are no longer responding to emails and going to my bank was my only other option.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, we we reached out to about available XXXX XXXX tickets from XXXX ( the id of the account ) on XXXX. This user informed us that she had tickets available that she would not be able to use and just wanted to get what she paid. We paid {$900.00} for the tickets as indicated in the transfer request. I am including a copy of the transfer request as documentation. Here are the key details from the Transfer request in clear text : To : XXXX XXXX at XXXX From : Interest Checking - XXXX Sent : Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX Deposited : Thursday, XX/XX/XXXX Speed : Within minutes Reason : 3 XXXX XXXX XXXX Payment ID : XXXX After the payment went through XXXX asked for a screenshot of the transaction which we sent to her. Further XXXX noted that her partner would verify that he received the payment and she would transfer the 3 tickets to my XXXX account. XXXX then said her partner was working and would let us know when off. Later that night we were informed her partner was working a double shift and she would get it all sorted out in the morning. XXXX continued delay tactics and we sent a request for a refund of the {$900.00} which remains un-fulfilled. Ally portion : On XX/XX/XXXX around XXXX XXXX XXXX contacted Ally bank and raised a dispute for this fraudulent {$900.00} charge. XXXX asked for a provisional credit while the dispute was in process and was informed that any provisional amount would only be credited after investigation. The investigation id at Ally is XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: Didn't receive terms that were advertised On XX/XX/XXXX, I saw this 1 % bonus promotion on Ally bank website and you can get a Cash bonus of 1 % of the new money you deposit into Eligible Accounts at Ally Bank up to a maximum of {$500.00} cash bonus. FYI, here is the link to the full terms of the promotion on ally bank website https : //www.ally.com/getpaidWe Here are the basics of the promotion. If you dont already have an Eligible Account at Ally Bank you must open an Online Savings account, Money Market account, or Certificate of Deposit ( CD ) at Ally Bank using the offer code getpaid by XX/XX/XXXX. 3. Move at least {$1000.00} of New Money from an account at another financial institution into an eligible Online Savings account, Money Market account, or new CD at Ally Bank by XX/XX/XXXX. 4. Keep the New Money in your eligible Online Savings account, Money Market account, or CD at Ally Bank through XX/XX/XXXX. 5. Keep at least one Ally Bank account open and in good standing until we deposit your bonus, on or by XX/XX/XXXX If youve followed the eligibility requirements, we will pay your Cash Bonus on or by XX/XX/XXXX to an Ally Bank account you own. So according to the terms, 1. I opened a new Money Market account on XX/XX/XXXX using the offer code 'getpaid ' on ally bank website. 2. I transferred {$10000.00} into my new Money Market account on XX/XX/XXXX. 3. I kept the {$10000.00} through XX/XX/XXXX. I did not receive my {$500.00} bonus on XX/XX/XXXX. I still have my Ally Money Market account open. Since I completed all the requirements of this promotion, I am supposed to get the maximum {$500.00} cash bonus but I didn't get the bonus as promised on XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted Ally bank on XX/XX/XXXX about this bonus and was told they opened a case and it will take 7 business days to investigate. But I still didn't see the bonus after 7 business days. I contacted ally bank again on XX/XX/XXXX, this time I was told they have no turn-around time frame for the case and they don't know how long it will take to resolve. I requested to talk their supervisor and the supervisor told me there are more than XXXX people having this issue and they don't know when my case will be reviewed or how long it would take to resolve. This is not acceptable. I completed all the requirements of the promotion, so I should get the bonus as promised by ally bank on or by XX/XX/XXXX. It is now XX/XX/XXXX and I have still not received my bonus.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: During XXXX after my military service I was trying to adjust and requested lower payments or forfeit the loan or sale and was denied any accommodations. They NEVER picked up the car and kept charging interest and other charges after I moved and left the state and they failed to communicate and assist with a resolution as I was in a financial strain it seemed easier for them to keep charging me and now they have sold the debt and not taking accountability as I worked hard to work the situation out even from another state for almost 1 year. This company isn't operating ethically this game almost seemed deliberate.

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: From the months of XXXX of 2021 I was in transition of jobs got diagnosed with XXXX and fell behind on everything as a single man. When I spoke with the rep/ debt collector via phone call he stated that we could place a freeze on the card to prevent further transactions and as long as I was able to make the agreed upon payments and became current they would remove the late payments. I held up my end of the deal and Im having a hard time getting the team to remove those late payments.
