Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir or Madam : I would like to draw your attention to the fraud being perpetrated by Ally Bank. Last Fall, I submitted a complaint to the Michigan Attorney Generals Office indicating that amongst other things, Ally was fraudulently trying to collect for damages to a turn in leased automobile. In response to this complaint, Ally responded with the attached letter to me and the Michigan AG whereby it stated in the spirit of customer satisfactionand as a one-time courtesy, we waived the {$180.00} excess wear charge. On account of this letter to the Attorney General waiving the wear charges, I made certain reliances including that I would not be made to make any payments. However, Ally has gone back on this representation and now engaged both a collection firm and sought to negatively impact my credit report. Section 807 of the Fair Debt Collection Act prohibits the very fraudulent conduct being conducted by Ally.

XXXX a agent whom works for this corporation stated that Ally believes they are furnishing accurate and complete information or our credit experience with you ( consumer ) labeled in exhibit ( A ) and therefor she will not request the removal from the reporting agencies. this is in violation of 15 usc 1681 a ( 2 ) ( i ) the fair credit reporting act Exclusions section meaning whats supposed to be excluded from a consumer report congress makes it clear that a report containing information solely as to transactions or experiences between the consumer and the person making the report ; must be excluded.

Issue: Trouble during payment process

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: We were contacted by ALLY BANK in XX/XX/XXXX and offered a Forebearance Loan on our 2nd Home Equity Loan. In XX/XX/XXXX ALLY BANK issued letter stating that they were in error offering this forebearance and also that they internally had coded our loan incorrectly- and that we were now 6 months late and the balance due immediately- they also reported us as delinquent to all credit bureaus. Then they sent an agreement with loan payments to start paying balance -however it was dated three months prior ( they sent outdated documents ). We have been contacting ALLY BANK since XX/XX/XXXX to get credit fixed and a current loan agreement. Every time we call we speak to a new agent who says they will send us a new loan modification " package '' - we have repeatedly filled out these loan modification packages with all our bank documents, payrolls statements, tax returns, etc. then when we call to check on status they say the documents need to be resent because they are now outdated- or they say they never got the documents, after we've sent them to the po box address as well as email address they provided- repeatedly. Then they call us each month and the cycle starts all over again with a new agent! Result is our credit scores went from 800 's to low 500 's - credit is ruined ; and husband 's business is now closing because of the negative credit scores and failure to get new business credit. We can never speak to the same person at ALLY BANK - nobody can ever follow up on our documents to get a new loan agreement generated. Extremely frustrating dealing with ALLY BANK. Our credit has been ruined because of their internal errors and mismanagement. ALLY LOAN NUMBER : XXXX XXXX & XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: Ally Bank advertises that it offers XXXX payment services but does not instantly transfer the funds. On XX/XX/31, I needed to move funds from my Ally savings account to my own account at another bank. To avoid the delay of a regular bank-to-bank transfer, I made a XXXX payment to myself XXXX which according to XXXX terms and Ally 's website would appear instantaneously in my other account. XXXX did not seem to be working on Ally 's online banking site, so I had to call in to Ally 's customer service to effectuate the XXXX payment. The customer service representative recognized that I was making the payment to myself. Ally withdrew the funds instantly from my savings account, but delayed sending the funds for two days. Hence my supposed XXXX payment was no faster than a regular transfer. Ally benefited from instantly removing the funds from my savings account, because Ally could then earn interest on the funds and avoid paying ME interest on the funds. I lost interest on the funds altogether, in both accounts. Ally is deceiving consumers by offering XXXX but unfairly failing to carry out payments properly.
