Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Ollo Card Services has not updated my account balance since XX/XX/XXXX so the card utilization continues to appear extremely high. The card balance was paid off XX/XX/XXXX, with additional payment made XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted customer service on XX/XX/XXXX and inquired on their reporting, asking if the company reports to all 3 credit bureaus, the representative replied yes. I then asked why my account hasn't been updated and she said they are experiencing a technical glitch in their reporting system. She then placed me on hold so she could speak to a supervisor. When she returned to the phone line, she informed me that they were unable to expedite my request for my account information to be updated and I would have to wait until their system is corrected.

Issue: Getting a credit card

Subissue: Delay in processing application

Consumer Complaint: I applied for an Ally credit card using my XXXX credit match on XX/XX/22. After submitting my application, I received the message, " We need more time to review ''. My XXXX XXXX was immediately decreased by XXXX points. I could see the XXXX inquiry from Ally Financial XXXX on my credit report. I called Ally XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX am, the rep informed me she didnt have a record of my inquiry, but to allow up to 17 days for processing, and to watch for a letter or email to determine my status. I called again XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX, another rep stated there was no record of my application, or prior phone call. I asked if there was an internal department who handles these requests- I said Ally doesn't have XXXX... they go through XXXX. I requested to speak with a manager. The manager used my SSN, full name, phone number, address to attempt locating the application, but also said there is no record of my application or phone number. She said she was launching an investigation, and to call back within XXXX business days. I called back on XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX. The rep stated there was no record I had ever called- thus no investigation. She located an account with my name from XXXX I informed her I've never used or applied for anything associated with Ally. I am highly upset and concerned as this has significantly impacted my score, and no cares enough to follow-up, or merely document my call. I will NEVER apply for anything associated with Ally, again.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: I initiated a wire transfer around XXXX on XX/XX/2023 as part of a payment I was contractually obligated to make on this date. The status of the wire transfer was on 'Reviewing ' for the remainder of the day. The next steps in the process are 'Processing ' and 'Sent '. On Monday XX/XX/2023 I checked the status of the transfer and it was still stuck on Reviewing. I checked the timelines provided by Ally and I had initiated the transfer before the cut off so it should have been sent same day. Up until this point I have not received any communication from Ally as to why the wire was not being processed. Two phone calls later and some escalating I was finally told that the wire was on hold pending research and that it would not process until XXXX on Tuesday XX/XX/2023. Around XXXX on Tuesday XX/XX/2023 I checked the status and the wire transfer was still in the Reviewing stage so I called the customer service line again. I informed them the urgency of this wire, as I was now out of compliance with a contractual obligation because they have not processed the wire. I was informed that they closed out the research and I should expect a phone call any minute from the wire team to verify the information provided. I was assured the wire would be sent out today. It is now XXXX and I still have not been contacted by Ally bank, nor has the wire moved out of the Reviewing stage into the Processing stage. I am now at risk of losing the home I am trying to purchase because Ally is unable or unwilling to process the wire request, and is not communicating to me as to why the wire is not being processed. Either the customer service agents are misinformed, or are outright lying to me about next steps, timing, and when/if the wire will be processed.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: I asked ALLY Bank close 4 No-Penalty CDs on XX/XX/2023. They did not close the accounts in 1-2 business days as promised. Some of the CDs took 6 days to close and one is still not closed as of today ( three weeks later ). I asked that the money from the closed CDs be transferred into a savings account at ALLY bank that paid a higher interest rate. Because the CD closures were delayed, I was paid a lower rate of interest on that money than I should have. I called many times asking them to rectify the situation and as of today, it still has not been resolved- despite the ALLY Bank agent saying that the Bank will correct the situation. I suspect that I am not the only customer who ALLY Bank underpaid interest. Most people don't notice or are too busy to chase them down. I have spent several hours on the phone and emailing them. If the CFPB investigates ALLY Bank, they XXXX find that ALLY Bank has a pattern of keeping money that is owed its customers. The ALLY Bank agent I spoke to said ALLY BANK has been understaffed. To rectify the situation, perhaps the CFPB can prevent ALLY from accepting new customers until it shows it has adequate staffing and can maintain proper internal controls. Or, perhaps ALLY Bank should be broken up into smaller banks that would be easier to manage. If there were more smaller banks wouldn't competition increase, so the quality of service in the industry would improve?

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: Ally Financial ( hereby referred to as Ally ) has violated my federally protected consumer rights by illegally reporting my nonpublic personal information ( The term nonpublic personal information means personally identifiable financial information ( i ) provided by a consumer to a financial institution ; ( ii ) resulting from any transaction with the consumer or any service performed for the consumer ; or ( iii ) otherwise obtained by the financial institution ) to non-affiliated third parties ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) they are in violation Pursuant to 12 CFR 1016.10 Limits on disclosure of nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties ( a ) ( 1 ) ( i ) ( ii ) ( iii ) and ( 3 ) and ( b ) ( 1 ) and ( 2 ) and 12 CFR 1016.7 Form of opt out notice to consumers ; opt out methods et seq, 15 USC 1681a Definitions ; rules of construction ( 2 ) ( a ) ( 1 ), and 15 USC 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports ( a ) ( 2 ). Ally does not meet the requirements to report nonpublic personal information as defined by 12 CFR 1016.13 et seq, 1016.14, et seq and 1016.15 et seq Which are in accordance with 15 USC 6801 et seq, 6802 et seq, 6803 et seq by reporting to these non affiliated third parties without my written consent or without providing me a notice to opt out even after receiving notification of the aforementioned violations and others on XX/XX/2023 by certified mail # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. No where in the Retail installment sale contract does it state that Ally may report anything to these non affiliated 3rd parties. Ally has also violated Truth-in Lending Act pursuant to 12 CFR 1026.4 Finance Charge ( a ), 12 CFR 360.6 Treatment of financial assets transferred in connection with a securitization or participation ( a ) ( 2 ) et seq, since the inception of the account which is defined under 12 CFR 1002.2 et seq as an extension of credit and the word account refers only to open-end credit. Open-end credit is defined via Truth-in-Lending 12 CFR 1026.2 which they were also notified of on XX/XX/2023 as of today XX/XX/2023 Ally has not corrected the situation which constitutes a Breach of fiduciary duty for failing to exercise care in carrying out duties pursuant to UCC 3-307 and 15 U.S.C. 1681n - Civil liability for willful noncompliance. Ally has failed miserably to protect my nonpublic personal information on seven ( 7 ) separate occasions and has done damage to my credit on seven ( 7 ) separate occasions and failed to send notice to opt out on seven ( 7 ) separate occasions this has caused me unnecessary mental stress with their refusal to correct the aforementioned violations and identity theft, that shows a blatant disregard for the laws and my right to privacy which should have been protected at all costs by Ally and not sold to these non-affiliated third parties.
