Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/22 I received a notice on my phone that an unauthorized person was trying to access my banking account and that it was temporarily locked. Upon reaching out to my bank to sort the matter, my bank called Ally Bank had frozen my account due to what they alleged was a fraudulent XXXX deposit of {$200.00}, from nearly 4 months ago. I don't about you, but I make online purchases and returns everyday. I do not have time to look through all my transactions with a fine comb to determine fraud. Now they have frozen my account because they alleged someone illegally sent me {$200.00} to my account through publicly used app called XXXX which I was not aware of. First off, I have no control on who sends me money especially through a public service such as XXXX. 2nd they claim they will have to freeze my account for up to 30 days. I did not do any wrong or illegal so how it is I am being penalize for something I did not do? Please make it make sense to me.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: Opened Saving Account at Ally Bank ( online ) set up a transfer from XXXX XXXX ( aka XXXX ) of {$100000.00} on XX/XX/XXXX. I gave Ally my Routing and Account Numbers, the next day the Funds disappeared from XXXX. That same day XX/XX/XXXX I got am Email from whet appeared to be Ally banking instructed be to contact them which I did. I was concerned using a number from an unsolicited email but a representative from their Fraud prevention depart questioned me in a rather aggressive way if that was my money and demanded I fill out forms with personal information to attest to it. I reaction to this by saying cancel everything which in hide sight was a mistake. She canceled/closed my account on XX/XX/XXXX, the funds that they removed from my XXXX Account were never deposited in the ALLY account. I was told by this representative that they would be returned to my XXXX account XXXX as of today they have not. Called XX/XX/XXXX and was told by the same Dept the funds were statused as rejected on XX/XX/XXXX and the funds should be in my bank account, again which they were not. I contacted my Financial advisor at XXXX and we called ALLY together on XXXX hours on hold multiple cold transfers and we end up back at the same Fraud department with the original rep who closed the account. She claims the transfer never went through but they were removed from my XXXX Account. I was told by ALLY to file a claim with XXXX which I did. I was told by my Advisor that was rejected because XXXX as never received the funds. I called ALLY again on XXXX, multiple cold transfer repeating the same Information to them and ended back up at the same department to the same person that cold transferred me to from the beginningt. One lady in the middle of transfers told me my case had been closed and I was in a Fraud Profile. Which essentially means to me they must be holding my money. This Lady named XXXX said she reopened my case, she reportedly conversed with the XXXX team and reported back to me to file a claim with XXXX ( which again was done on XX/XX/XXXX ) I was eventually transfer back to my original representative in the Fraud Depart " XXXX '' Maybe. this time he was argumentative since I recognized his voice and remarked on being cold transferred so many times. I asked for him to remove the Fraud profile on my file that XXXX instructed that I do but he rudely refused. I asked to be transferred to a supervisor and he said some undiscernable words I got a voice mail of a " XXXX '' ( phone sound quality was very poor ) long story short here ALLY pulled money from my bank account and it is now now where to be found I can supply a case reference number

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: Ally Bank is the worst!!!!! I initiated a XXXX to someone and they never received funds, a week later I went to send it again, but realized the first XXXX I sent out, never came back, so I cancelled the second one. I contacted ally bank and a lady told me wait 13 business days. After 13 days, no funds were issued out, so I complained about it, then they credited me my XXXX back, I sent that to the person that I had waiting a month to receive their funds. A month goes by and the close out my account and even took away my access. Today I attempt to log in because I keep receiving emails from them, then all of a sudden it gives me access and I notice it shows my account is back open with a negative balance of XXXX dollars for a withdrawal on XXXX XXXX XXXX. This bank has been making errors for a long time, they also have been sending me mail saying I owed over draft fees when I contacted them they informed me that it was an error in their system and to just simply ignore it. This bank is ran digitally and the system is just trash. They are charging people then apologizing, closing accounts then opening them back up with a negative balance, theyre claiming the will send it to my credit which I worked hard to fix. I will be contacting a financial and banking attorney and taking them to small claims court.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

Consumer Complaint: I had an automobile loan financed with Ally and refinanced it in XX/XX/2022. The company I refinanced with sent a check to Ally for the payoff amount. Since the company had inquired about the payoff amount, I had made a payment which was due. The date the loan through Ally was paid in full was XX/XX/2022. I also cancelled my vehicle service contract and a prorated refund was also sent to Ally. Ally was also supposed to refund me a prorated amount for the GAP insurance. I was initially told that Ally typically issues refunds within 30 days of the payment in full date but that with current delays it could take up to 55 days. I've reached to Ally multiple times about my refund and was told that it was still being processed. It has been more that 55 days and I have still yet to receive anything. I am now being told that the GAP Insurance refund can take 130 days to receive. Ally has had this money for over a month and I just want the money that is supposed to be refunded to me and I believe the delay in refunding the money to me is unreasonable.
