Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: Opened an Ally Online Savings Account on XX/XX/2021 The account was opened successfully via the web interface and I logged into their mobile app to check out the their user interface. I spent the day connecting and verifying my other external banks for transfers to Ally. I submitted some small transfers to Ally in order to test out their user interface. The next morning, XX/XX/2021, I finished the verification process and received a call from an unknown number claiming to be Ally to verify some information? I suspected a phishing attempt so I asked to call them back for security purposes and confirmed it was indeed Ally. The representative I spoke to asked me some security questions to which I answered and he informed me that my account was now verify and he would be opening up my savings account ( I had no idea it wasn't open ). He informed me that my account had to be funded within 30 days or it would be closed. I asked him if my transfers would be going through since I had initiated them prior to this phone call and he said they would, this was at XXXX I received an email at XXXX saying my telephone banking pin had been changed ( I never set this up ) and to contact Ally if I did not make this change. I tried to login to the mobile app at XXXX and received a notice that my account had been locked out so I called Ally to see what was going on. The representative on the phone transferred me over to their back department and the rep I spoke to informed me that my account was flagged and would be closed for suspicious activity and they would not be able to have a banking relationship with me. If I applied again my account would immediately be closed and there was no way I could appeal this decision. I pulled a XXXX report and everything is listed there are no issues there I find it strange that my account was only opened for a day, I had no money in the account, everything had been verified properly and then closed without explanation

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 and XX/XX/XXXX as wells 60 days late on 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 BCC : Consumer Financial Protection Bureau XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Iowa XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I had a loan with Ally Financial the last four digits of the loan account were XXXX.

Only two entries showing the scheduled payment amount 3. Only one entry showing an actual payment of {$520.00}. I would like these entries to be corrected and complete for the time I had the loan with Ally until I paid it off.
