Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

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

Consumer Complaint: Consumer Financial Protection Bureau RE : Ally Financial - Error in reporting After numerous attempts and requests, I hereby am sending another request to CFPB asking if you can assist me in having Ally Financial to comply with the laws applicable to verifying the reporting of payments. Ally Financial has submitted corrections to the account by shifting the current and ( 30 ) thirty day late payments from one month to another as follows : CORRECTED TO SHOW : PREVIOUSLY SHOWED : XX/XX/XXXX Current XXXX XXXX 30 Days Late DXXXX XXXX 30 Days Late XX/XX/XXXX Current XX/XX/XXXX Current XXXX XXXX 30 Days Late XXXX XXXX 30 Days Late XXXX XXXX - Current All Ally Financial did was move the payment history around. It still shows two ( 2 ) Late payments. These payments were adjusted due to the pandemic and paid according to the updated agreement, but they have never corrected their reporting. Ally Financial has maneuvered two monthly payments for over a year now and are hindering my credit report from being accurate. I have requested that they adhere to their letters to extend the due days which would have made my payments Current, and not 30 Days Late.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: I have noticed many inaccuracies on my credit report. On XX/XX/2022 I check my credit and found the account with Ally financial # XXXX to be reporting incorrectly on my credit. I am not disputing the validity of the account however I am reporting inaccuracies on all three credit bureaus. The disputes were sent out on XX/XX/2022 stating the inaccuracies on my credit report. On XX/XX/2022 I received a response from XXXX stating the investigation was completed and the account was updated. Upon reviewing my credit on XX/XX/2022 I notice that XXXX never investigated my disputes. DATE OF LAST ACTIVITY, HIGH CREDIT and COMMENTS are still reporting inaccurate and inconsistent. I did not receive any response from XXXX or XXXX. I have attached my initial disputes, the credit reports with all the inaccuracies, the investigation completed by XXXX and an up-to-date credit report showing the inconsistent and inaccurate information. Please remove this account from my credit report.

Issue: Money was not available when promised

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have initiated several transfers from XXXX XXXX XXXX from my joint banking account with Ally Bank. This has been an ongoing situation since XXXX, and I keep getting the run around from both banks. I have called several times and completed all requested inquiries to try and receive the funds back to the joint account. I have worked with over a dozen representatives at Ally bank, finally working with a lady who had directed me to file this complaint to receive the funds back. The lady at XXXX XXXX said the ACH department is doing an investigation and is not getting a response from Ally bank. I was given the following unique transaction codes from XXXX at XXXX XXXX which I then relayed over to Ally Bank, who then, in turn, keeps telling me that this is a XXXX XXXX XXXX problem. They are the ones holding the fund for {$9500.00}.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Loan sold or transferred to another company

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX, i noticed a credit report remark in an email sent to me, saying Ally charged off my account. I called immediately and asked why it said that and what i could do, i have been trying for the past few months to get ally to work with me. I asked for lower payments and as well to have all late fees removed due to my hardship from covid. I have had nothing but issues with ally, they dont ever work with me in pleading for help. They refuse to actaully help you with your situation and rather just charge it off. I no longer even want to have the loan, i want to rescind my loan with them and get back all the money i have paid. I know my rights with consumer laws and i am asking for a rescission with the loan agreement i made with ally and i would like the title of my car to be released since ally has charged off the account, to have the lien removed and title sent directly to me in my name. Allys obligation with the car has been considered charged off and i no longer have an open account with them, i would like to remove any and all derogatory/negative/late remarks from my credit report immediately. I want the account to be changed to positive or settled in full or a completed status. I will not hesitate to look deeper into my rights as a consumer and take legal matters if necessary if ally does not cooperate or release the title held in their possession to me with no lien as well as my full refund of the total amounts i have paid, around {$8000.00} approximately. Please respond and mail all requested items directly to me within 7-10 days. If i do n ot hear a response or receive requested documents and refunds, i will seek legal proceedings afterwards. Thank you

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: The letter tells the debt collector to stop contacting me unless they can show evidence that I am responsible for this debt. Stopping contact does not cancel the debt. So, if a debt collector still believes I am really responsible for the debt, they could still take other action. For example you still might be sued or have the status of the debt reported to a credit bureau.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX XXXX a few days before the XXXX I received a letter from Ally Bank. This letter stated that they were closing my account. The only reason given was the Deposit Agreement clause referenced. That clause stated that they could close your account at any time for any reason. With my son 's help we called them after a lengthy wait time and hold times they said it was being closed and referenced the letter. My son talked to a supervisor who tried to open a new account for me and was unable to. That same day with my son 's help I got a new bank account open with another company and switched my Direct Deposit with Social Security to the new account for XXXX leaving my XXXX Social Security check in question On XX/XX/XXXX I logged into their app and saw my Savings account was closed but my Checking was not and had my XXXX Social Security check in it. I tried to do a XXXX transfer of the money and it required a verification call. With my son 's help we called them got through the verification and the transfer failed. The Customer Service representative took a look and said the Department that could help with thar would not be till Monday. Monday XX/XX/XXXX my son and myself called and the XXXX transferred us to Loss Prevention. He said the restriction on the account could not be removed by him but can be by Customer Service si he transferred us to the general Customer Service queue. The wait time was almost an hour and since we had been on the phone for over XXXX hour and we had to leave we hung up. On Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX me and my Son called back to try and get my money after 2 disconnect and almost 2 hours all they said is referenced back to the letter and said a check would be mailed but they couldn't say when the check would be mailed. So as of today Tuesday XX/XX/XXXX they still have XXXX of my money and I have no idea if and when I will get my money.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Ally/Auto has unfairly and inaccurately reported information on the Credit report of XXXX XXXX and I XXXX XXXX XXXX In CFPB case # XXXX, XXXX a representative from Ally Auto provided an inaccurate detailing of the payment history on an Auto Loan. Borrower and I Co-borrower entered into a new agreement called the " Catch-Up '' with Ally Auto. After suspending payments during XXXX, Ally Auto started payments back up again. During the suspension of payments because of XXXX Ally Auto reported past due payments to the credit bureaus. That is an ADVERSE reaction being that payments were suspended. The entire time the payments were suspended Ally decided to take advantage of us as borrowers and I'm sure many others by charging excessive finances charges. They later decided to hit us with a $ XXXX bill. They have continued to be thugs in inaccurate reporting on our credit reports. Literally reporting lies. We entered into a new agreement and new payment terms. Terms have been fulfilled but the reporting to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX are inaccurate lies. According to FCRA, a creditor can not report payments past due while account is adversely being paid on. Creditor must update and/or report accurate information. You can not suspend payments and then report past due. You can not enter into a payment agreement and still report past due all the while account is being paid on at a higher rate than first agreeement. Only one issue was corrected but not the entire issue.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/22, I checked my Ally Bank Savings Account and noticed a withdrawal from my Account in the amount of {$9800.00}. It was a Saturday, but I called Ally Bank and reached an Agent from whom I asked for an explanation of the transaction. She advised that it was an ACH Debit that had been initiated the day prior ( XX/XX/22 ) and the funds were being transferred to a Checking Account. I had no other Checking Account and I did not authorize any such transaction, and although I begged the Agent to halt the transaction she claimed that was not possible. I was notified XXXX days later of a provisional credit and because I had never authorized any transfer, I assumed the issue was resolved, which was not the case. On XX/XX/22, I received a letter stating the dispute was closed and the credit to my account would be reversed, which it was on XX/XX/22. I have included with this Complaint my two most recent letters trying to resolve the matter, but Ally Bank has not provided any evidence that I authorized or in any way approved this transfer, and the reason for that is simple - I DID NOT. I literally pleaded with the Ally Agent to reverse the transfer, but she refused to do so, and now Ally is claiming I initiated the transaction from my phone which is both incorrect and infuriating. Thank you for your kind attention to this submission, I am a XXXX Veteran and I need the funds at issue, so I am hopeful you can resolve this matter.

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I unfortunately lost my job in XXXX, but was able to continue making my lease payments for a few months. After not being able to find a job, I contacted Ally Financial in XXXX and requested a 2 month extension. The representative I spoke with agreed and said he'd made the adjustment and put notes on the account. My payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX, it's now XX/XX/XXXX and I found out no extension was ever placed on my account and my account is delinquent with a late charge. I called back and spoke to a collection representative who stated they were able to see no notes about my previous discussion. She then stated she could offer me the 2 month extension, which I gladly accepted. However she then back tracked saying I'd have to make a partial payment ( which was actually a full payment ) in the next 10 days for me to be able to get the 2 month extension because the account was 17 days past due. I tried to explain again that I had called previously before it went delinquent, the way she spoke it made it seem like she was trying to get me to make a payment to hit her " bonus monthly goals '' rather than to actually try to help with the 2 month extension. She then tried to threaten me by saying she was removing the 2 month extension if I didn't want to pay. She then went on to say I requested her to cancel the 2 month extension which I never did. All in all was a very frustrating conversation on top of an already frustrating situation when I'm out of work. We never got the problem resolved as we were going around in circles and eventually I had to disconnect the call. Also the car is worth more than I owe, however Ally will not allow me to sell the vehicle to any third party without increasing the amount owed from what he actual payoff is, is this even allowed?
