Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX my XXXX XXXX XXXX was repoed by Ally Financial for delinquent payments. During this period I never recieved any paperwork or breakdown of what they had resold this vehicle for. XX/XX/XXXX I recieved a call from XXXX XXXX about the debt that I had with Ally Financial. XXXX XXXX and myself had settled on a contract of XXXX dollars and monthly payments of XXXX dollars every eleventh of the month until I recieved my taxes to pay of the remaining settlement. XX/XX/XXXX I called to make my usual monthly payment and was told I my account was locked due to a new law that was put in placed. I was advised to call the week after to resume payment. I called multiple times until I got a XXXX XXXX who explained to me that Ally Financial had placed a hold on my payments because bthey were not satisfied with the settlement amount. She stated that none of this was my fault and that I would gain no extra interest charges and would still be able to continue the same monthly payments. She stated that she would contact me with further assistance once they had everything taken care of and that my balance was down to XXXX dollars. In XXXX, XXXX I recieved a call from XXXX XXXX XXXX, saying that I was deliquent on my payment since XX/XX/XXXX and that I owed XXXX dollars. I stopped them and explained to them what had happened and told them that I have a settlement contract and they said thats something they cant uphold. I contacted Ally Financial and they stated how they took my debt and gave it to another creditor because they didnt like the settlement amount. When I asked to speak with a XXXX and be mailed the breakdown of what my car was sold for I was constantly transferred and hung up on.

Issue: Improper use of your report

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

Consumer Complaint: Someone has had my social security number for going on two years or more now. My credit is trashed, and I have over thirty-two hard inquiries on just my XXXX credit report from many different creditors. I have tried to contact each creditor to no avail, they tell me all my information matches up, thus not being able to remove the inquiries. These inquires WERE NOT ME, I have had my mail stolen countless times, credit cards stolen, bills, refund checks, identifying information, and much more. These creditors have not helped me.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: Opened an Ally Account on XX/XX/XXXX. They initially blocked access to my account on XX/XX/XXXX - when calling them about the issue they asked invasive questions like " Why did you open this account? '' and told me that they restricted access because no money was deposited. I deposited a echeck on XX/XX/XXXX, which was subsequently cleared by the check issuer. I also wire transferred {$100000.00} in savings from my current bank to Ally on XX/XX/XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX Ally let me know that the echeck funds would be available on the XXXX. I received a second notice that access to my account is restricted. I called them every day that week, and was told that I should be able to received access within XXXX business days, since it is standard procedure for the bank to restrict access at the first check deposit. I received very nasty comments from the loss prevention line with an accusatory tone from the supervisor, and was told that these is nothing I can do to expedite or learn more about my account restriction until the Fraud department contacts me. This is completely unfair and I've been in the dark about my savings. After XXXX business days I called again and received the same treatment. I was told that this process might not take longer than one month, but there are no guarantees, and no way to speak to a supervisor, Fraud department, or anyone that can either tell me more information or grant access to my account. The only way to learn anything is to call, and each call has led to the same stone wall. This is extremely poor business practice, and I am completely unable to make transactions from this bank ( it has now been XXXX weeks ) and they have the vast majority of my net worth. I requested of a copy of all verbal and electronic correspondence they have not granted it.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem with renewal

Consumer Complaint: I had an existing CD with Ally Bank that was maturing on XX/XX/2022. I attempted to manage this maturity via the Ally Bank Web Portal numerous times both prior to and post maturity of the CD, but the Ally Bank Web Portal would not save my instructions. I attempted to call Ally Bank at XXXX numerous time during the 10 Calendar Day Grace Period. Wait times were always in excess of 30 minutes and I could not get thru. My objectives was always to renew this CD with Ally Bank for 13 months at a 2 % APR. Instead, I was automatically renewed into a 5 Year CD with an APR of 2.95 %. I finally got thru to a human being at the Ally Bank on Monday XX/XX/XXXX ( after a 25 minute wait ) and was told " that there was absolutely nothing that Ally Bank would do ''. I was put on hold multiple times and asked to speak with a Supervisor. After another XXXX minute wait, I was transferred to XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ). I was told that my only options were to stay in the 5 year CD or pay an early withdrawal penalty of {$7400.00}. It seems like Ally Bank makes it virtually impossible for a Customer to " Manage Their CD '' and then elects to put them into whatever product that best suits Ally Bank I have been a loyal customer of Ally Bank for nearly 13 years. I am incredibly shocked by this treatment and can not believe it is legal
