Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: I got behind on my car loan. I tried to make payments on their website and they refused to accept debit card, credit card or personal checks. I had to go through XXXX XXXX. After I called and told them I would try and make weekly payments to get current in my loan, they started calling me, my sister, my parents and my sister- in-law. I called and asked that they only contact me at my cell phone number and not to harass my family with phone calls. Per my sister they are calling multiple times a day. They call me numerous times a day. In 2 days I had 21 phone calls from them. I have been trying to get out of debt and I have been working with them and paying through XXXX as they have required. XXXX through XXXX is not always open due to short-staffing at XXXX. But, I have been trying. I was woken up this morning to my car being repossessed. I called Ally Auto while they were taking my car and the operator was very rude to me on the phone saying I cant drive a car for free for 118 days. I just made a payment 2 weeks ago and was going to make another payment tomorrow. They have been nothing but rude, aggressive, and treating me like a dead beat lowlife, because I got behind on payments. I am currently working on paying them back and I could have been current if I didnt have to hunt down a XXXX that was open for business. But as I explained to them over the phone last week the constant harassing phone calls have affected my mental health and has affected how my family members treat me because they ( Ally Auto ) let them know I was in collections for not paying my car payment. I have tried to work with them on getting current and they told me my car was no longer in danger of being repossessed and then repossessed it anyway.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: Frequently, my bank, Ally Bank, will unilaterally halt activity on my debit card and force me to call them, authorize via a set of security questions, and receive an XXXX message on my phone to unlock my card. There is no way to change this setting or configuration on my account. I live in a wooded area which sometimes has poor cellular reception. Without the XXXX message to my phone, Ally will not unlock my debit card, despite proving authenticity with my social security number and security questions. If I am not lucky enough to receive the XXXX message, they refuse to unlock the debit card. I must wait to speak to a person in an office which is only open during bank business hours and which has a special phone number only accessible through frontline support. Through this new policy/program, Ally is actively and frequently denying access to consumer funds for absolutely no reason. This occurred on the following dates : - XX/XX/2022, a transaction for less than {$100.00} was declined. I moved money into the account to address this issue. Shortly thereafter, they decided to lock my debit card unilaterally and required the process described above. - XX/XX/2022, a transaction for less than {$100.00} was declined.

Issue: Other service problem

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I initiated wire transfer of {$250000.00} from my Ally Bank savings account to my XXXX XXXX savings account for a home purchase deposit at XXXX PST on XX/XX/2022. Later that morning, I received an email saying my Ally online account has been suspended and my account has been flagged for a fraud investigation. Per the instructions in the email, I called Ally 's fraud investigation department and was treated like a criminal undergoing an interrogation. The Ally representative needed me to upload a bank statement from my previous bank, which I complied to. I did not hear anything until the next day, where I received another email from Ally asking to call them to provide more information, and to call the same fraud investigation department phone number. When I called Ally, I was met by another rude representative on the other end, who continued to interrogate me with questions on why I'm making the wire transfer. I asked when the money would be transferred and when I can regain access to my account, to which the representative basically said they didn't know. Today, I called them again to obtain a status update. Again, no updates were provided. When I asked again when they expect the investigation to be complete and when my account will be restored, the representative said it could take up to 30 business days, and to call back in 7-10 business days for another update. Now my home purchase and closing is at major risk and it's likely I will lose out on it. Not only that, but I have no idea where my {$250000.00} is and when I will be able to recover it.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Ally Auto is reporting to the XXXX credit bureaus XXXX, XXXX and XXXX that I have XXXX late payments existing on my now paid off loan. I have disputed this incorrect reporting and called associates employed at Ally Auto. Ally Auto will not give a solid answer and can not provide proof that i have made any late payments or the months indicated on the credit report. I have proof that i have made on time monthly payments throughout my loan term, when in fact they are negligibly reporting otherwise causing my credit score to drop. Attached are record of payments made to Ally Auto on month and year where they state the payments were late.
