Issue: Other transaction problem

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: There have been numerous problems with the Ally investment trading platform which/witch led to a heated interaction after rude customer service representatives were inept and escalated the unwanted exchanges. Then after Ally said to close ALL my accounts in a letter I contacted them with ALL the information to do so into a XXXX account. However, they said the transaction was reversed BUT wouldnt say why and claimed there was no explanation upon checking with that department in yet another unwanted interaction their ineptitude created. THEN I was told they automatically mailed the checks instead creating a checks in the mail dynamic I never would have authorized! I would at very least used an express tracking service. I allege unscrupulous actives as regards their trading platform AND harassment in relation to their not performing the transfer after being provided the information potentially also trying to facilitate the checks theft after they obtained the other banks account information without using it.They also should have tried multiple times to perform an electronic transfer without just sending checks which/witch should then have been sent via an express tracking service utilizing carrier. ALSO, in a letter saying to close my accounts I was given less than a full month to even do so based on the date their letter was created and sent and the date I am expected to do/due so by.

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

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: Dear Sir or Madam, 1. ALLY FINCL Account XXXX Please correct this inaccurate information on my credit report. I recently pulled my credit report from your Bureau and my attorneys and I had a chance to go over my credit report and in amazement, that you have decided to report me 30 days late on this account in XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. I immediately disputed this information with ALLY FINCL and the results of the investigation came back " verified ''. Not only was I never late on this account, but according to the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), the information furnisher is required to notify me of the insertion of negative listings. Since I have disputed the lates with the creditor, and you obviously " verified '' them, I am very curious as to what kinds of " records '' you may have for this alleged account. I am very confident that you are in violation of the ( FCRA ) and ( FCBA ) sections ( 1666, 1666a. 1666b., and 1666c. ) as stated below : 1666. Correction of billing errors ( b ) Billing error ( 4 ) The creditor 's failure to reflect properly on a statement, a payment made by the obligor or a credit issued to the obligor. ( 5 ) A computation error or similar error of an accounting nature of the creditor on a statement. ( 6 ) Failure to transmit the statement required under section 1637 ( b ) of this title to the last address of the obligor which has been disclosed to the creditor, unless that address was furnished less than twenty days before the end of the billing cycle for which the statement is required. ( 7 ) Any other error described in regulations of the Bureau. 1666a. Regulation of credit reports ( a ) Reports by creditor on obligor 's failure to pay amount regarded as billing error After receiving a notice from an obligor as provided in section 1666 ( a ) of this title, a creditor or his agent may not directly or indirectly threaten to report to any person adversely on the obligor 's credit rating or credit standing because of the obligor 's failure to pay the amount indicated by the obligor under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, and such amount may not be reported as delinquent to any third party until the creditor has met the requirements of section 1666 of this title and has allowed the obligor the same number of days ( not less than ten ) thereafter to make payment as is provided under the credit agreement with the obligor for the payment of undisputed amounts. ( b ) Reports by creditor on delinquent amounts in dispute ; notification of obligor of parties notified of delinquency If a creditor receives a further written notice from an obligor that an amount is still in dispute within the time allowed for payment under subsection ( a ) of this section, a creditor may not report to any third party that the amount of the obligor is delinquent because the obligor has failed to pay an amount which he has indicated under section 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) of this title, unless the creditor also reports that the amount is in dispute and, at the same time, notifies the obligor of the name and address of each party to whom the creditor is reporting information concerning the delinquency. ( c ) Reports by creditor of subsequent resolution of delinquent amounts A creditor shall report any subsequent resolution of any delinquencies reported pursuant to subsection ( b ) to the parties to whom such delinquencies were initially reported. 1666b. Timing of payments ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. Because I take my credit very seriously, I contacted every name and account that was listed on the report. I was again very shocked by the multiple names, account numbers and figures. Included with this letter, is every letter written to those who have hampered my ability to obtain credit. I believe that any judge that looks over the report would agree that it is a violation of both the FCRA, CCPA and FACTA. The following accounts were listed on your report and I have demanded from them a full accounting and five years worth of records to see if their accounts were in violation of the FAIR CREDIT BILLING ACT ( FCBA ). We also demanded signed contracts, agreements or any legal paperwork that would tie us to the following accounts. Under the FCRA, you are required to conduct an investigation on this account if I request it. I DEMAND to see all 100 % verifiable proof that I was indeed Verifiably late on these accounts and the creditor fulfilled its obligations under ( FCBA 1666 ( a ) ( 2 ) ), As I was never notified of a billing delinquency on my accounts, which the creditor must do under section ( FCBA1666 ( b ) ( 6 ). I DEMAND to see proof that I was mailed my statement to the correct address notifying me of both payment due date and delinquency of payment on the account. If you can not provide 100 % Verifiable proof and proper documentation that the CREDITOR fulfilled its obligations under the ( FCBA ) and ( FCRA ), I therefore demand these late payments be removed from my account or I will be forced to be in contact with the Attorney General of my State and the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. I therefore am submitting my written request to you to conduct an investigation. Per the FCRA, you have 30 days to conduct this investigation and respond to my request. If you do not respond within this time period, per the FCRA, you must remove this negative information. Thank you for your time, XXXX XXXX SS # : XXXX Date of Birth : XX/XX/XXXX XXXX : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX

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 auto loan with Ally financial for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. I traded that vehicle in on XX/XX/XXXX for a XXXX XXXX XXXX. Ally financial provided the loan for that as well. The loan for the XXXX was paid in full but on XX/XX/XXXX, Ally still took out the {$870.00} payment from my bank. I called them multiple times and sent a message thru their online APP asking for reimbursement. They said I would be reimbursed with overdraft fees ( my bank account went negative ) but wouldnt give me any specific dates or dollar amounts. I talked to someone from another department about getting this resolved on a few occasions, the last of which being Friday XXXX XXXX she told me the reimbursement wasnt approved but she would try to expedite and get back to me by Tuesday XXXX XXXX. I have yet to hear back and at this point it feels like a refusal to reimburse the money they took from my bank account.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, I called Ally to request a deferment due to my wifes mother passing away. I was granted that deferment. I was told I needed to pay {$650.00}. up front and the representative told me to ask family or friends for help. I did that. A friend put {$700.00}. on two prepaid Visas. The very next day I called to pay. The Ally representative refused to accept those visas. I told her I got paid on the XXXX of XXXX. She said that was fine, to just set it up to be withdrawn online per the app. I did exactly that. However 5-6 months after XXXX, Ally has reported me late to the credit bureaus. We had to use all our savings to travel and bury my kids grandmother. As soon as I returned, I immediately contacted ALLY to request a deferment. All of this information is supposedly recorded every time I call. At least, I am told these conversations are recorded. I have spent the last two years sending certified letters, emails and even hired a credit repair company ; XXXX XXXX ( out of XXXXXXXX XXXX ). I recently contacted my state Attorney General and have only received one email back and have been waiting for another response for a month now. I also contacted my XXXX, XXXX XXXX and have yet to hear back from them either. From XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, no payments should be reported as late, as I made my {$650.00} dollar payment on XX/XX/XXXX ( the date I said I got paid, since they refused to accept the {$700.00}. I had on two prepaid visas ) This is all agreed on in the recorded audio with Allys representative who are clearly outsourced to XXXX. When I called Ally upon finding out Ive been reported late for months, I was told that my bank never released the funds. I called my bank, XXXX XXXX XXXXk and they were released the day I told them I could pay. So they bluntly lied to me, then played the victim. They have ignored every email I have sent in regards to what they did to me. Except recently they responded when I found out they reported me late again in XX/XX/XXXX. Which I do not understand because I pay on their app through direct payments. I brought it to their attention and they claim they didnt. I have a paper trail of certified letter receipts, all written correspondence with Ally, bank statement, and the two Visas they refused to accept. Its been two years, and my lease is up in XX/XX/XXXX, and I do not qualify for a home loan due to what Ally has done to me. I am a ( 100 % ) XXXX Combat Veteran, my wife is a full time XXXX student, so we live off a fixed income. If this issue does not get resolved, I am at risk of putting my family XXXX. Can you please help me resolve this issue. The conversation between the Ally representative and myself is proof I did what was asked of me. Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
