Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with fees charged

Consumer Complaint: I gave birth XX/XX/2020, while I was on maternity leave my mother asked me to help her get a new car with my credit since she had bad credit. She and the saleswoman XXXX XXXX with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX drove to my house to have me sign the contract ; when I asked why my name was listed as primary the saleswoman had the nerve to lie to me and said that the order of the names would not matter. Months later, my mother ran a red light and keeps driving through tolls in XXXX XXXX that all billed under MY NAME. XXXX and FL XXXX were not helpful at all even when I told them she's also listed on the title, they only care to list the first person. Meanwhile I don't even possess or drive the car, I have my own! I attempted to resolve my issue through a different agency but all the dealership did was send ONE PAGE of the contract. Even though the dealership listed me as primary owner they never once bothered to personally follow up with me they only checked in with my mother. If you asked them for the full documentation you will see she is the one requesting to purchase the vehicle and the one requesting the addons, so why did they make me primary if she is the one authorizing everything else on the purchase including her own trade in? In fact, if this were my vehicle don't you think I would have gone to a dealer close to home since I just gave birth, not XXXX XXXX where my mother lives? My relationship with my mother is a different story, yes I have asked her to take my stepdad 's car on their trips but they keep taking the toll lanes under my name. I do not have access to the Ally Auto login for this vehicle, since my mother is the one paying on the vehicle only she does. She drives it and pays for it, so I think it should primarily be in her name if I'm just being used for my credit.

The account is current and I am only askiing that they please remove the late payments due to this tremendously negatively hitting my credit score.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I opened a new Ally Bank account and deposited a {$15000.00} check from my cousin to fund the account ( The money was meant for home repairs ) Ally promptly locked my account promptly saying there's suspicious activity and they need to do this since it's a new account and the check is large. This was on the XXXX and for the last 14 days I have talked to their " Loss Prevention '' department and customer care at least 12 times. Here 's what I was told authoritatively on XXXX : ( After listening to multiple explanations, answers AND having to explain why he's giving me money etc ) The check is of a big amount and in a new bank account. So, we need to wait 10 business days for it to clear and only then the lock will be released and I will have access to funds. It was supposed to be done today ( XXXX ) and when I called in the morning they asked me to wait till afternoon. In the afternoon, I hear a new explanation The check still hasn't cleared so you have to wait another 7 business days! Which is wrong because the money left his account on the same day! I am at my wits ends as I really need the money ASAP. And this has been incredibly stressful as they are constantly changing their stance.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: My Ally bank account was frozen on XX/XX/XXXX for an investigation concerning suspicious activity. I've called on XX/XX/XXXX for an update, and they didn't give me any information besides that the account will be opened again once the investigation is over. I got an e-mail on XX/XX/XXXX from a credit card with that bank account as autopay, saying that they were informed the account is now closed. I have not been updated or contacted by Ally at all about this. There's currently XXXX in my savings account that I can not access.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2022 I received a voice message from Ally regarding our car loan being delinquent. I called them back later that day. I was told by the representative that the account was delinquent by {$1000.00}. I explained that I would make payment by Monday XX/XX/2022. I was asked if I would make a payment of {$1000.00} by XX/XX/2022 THREE times. I affirmed my answer all three times. On XX/XX/2022 I created an online user name and accessed my account. The account showed over {$1700.00} delinquent. I made my payment of {$1100.00} on XX/XX/2022. I noticed a remaining delinquent amount of {$190.00} and {$530.00} in late fees. I made the payment for the {$190.00} on XX/XX/2022. I called Ally on XX/XX/2022 and asked for an explanation of the difference between the delinquent amount from {$1000.00} on XX/XX/2022 to over {$1200.00} on XX/XX/2022. I received no response. I also requested a waiver of the late fees since my account was now current. The representative indicated that he would submit that request but a maximum of {$37.00} could be waived if that. I find the late fees to be draconian since the account is now current and the interest being charged is nearly 11 %. The ever-changing balance seems to be suspicious as well. They indicate that they record phone conversations. I'd like to review the conversations I had with them and know why the amount due changed over only 3 days.
