Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: On Monday, XX/XX/2021, I received notice from Ally Bank that there was a restriction on transfers from my savings account. I called, and spoke with a representative, and was told the problem was resolved. On Tuesday, XX/XX/2021, I discovered my account was still restricted. I spoke with Ally again, and the representative told me that she resolved the issue, and I could initiate a transfer of funds. When I tried, the restriction was still on the account. I called a second time on XX/XX/2021, and was told, despite what I had been told in the prior two calls, that the restriction was still in place, and would not be resolved for 1-2 business days. I called a third time on XX/XX/2021, and the loss prevention department refused to speak with me to give me an explanation of the restriction. It is not right that a bank can restrict me from using my funds for two to four days.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I disputed inaccurate information about a 30 late payment in XX/XX/2020 with Ally Financial ( Account number # XXXX ) on my XXXX credit report ( Report Number XXXX hard copy ). The results of XXXX investigation appears to have updated my credit report ( which has a different report number of XXXX ) now showing that a 30 day late payment occurred in XX/XX/2020. This poses many questions and problems at the same time. Why are there multiple credit reports? This appears to be very deceptive. For XXXX to change what was initially being reported as accurate on my credit report ( 30 day late payment in XX/XX/2020 ) means that they were knowingly reporting inaccurate information which is a violation of the FCRA which should have resulted in the deletion of this 30 day late payment. How could XXXX report this late payment as accurate and upon my dispute change the month they said was correct initially to an entirely different month. Ive had trouble with getting this resolved with Ally Financial and on their online account system it shows that 2 payments were made in XX/XX/2020 but they claim that they dont see that and its their system. Multiple phone calls, emails and letters have gone unresolved. They put the burden of proof on me to validate something that is listed on their website ( see attached ). As a consumer and taxpayer, I feel as though Im helpless against these credit bureaus and companies like Ally Financial who report inaccurate information and are not held accountable for it. They can damage my credit profile with no repercussions. Its not fair at all.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt is not yours

Consumer Complaint: I reached out to this company notified them that these accounts listed do not belong to me. I did not own a vehicle at that time I never applied for car insurance nor did I default on car insurance 5 to 6 times. I contacted the company to provide proof that these accounts belong to me I instructed them provide investigation proof I demanded that my rights not be violated as they are being done by this company. They have multiple listings for this company These reportings were never contacted by me from the car insurance company, the original applications formed to create these accounts, The proof that the car belonged or was financed by myself, they never did. They sent ALL of this information to a credit reporting agency without accuracy, which is a violation of my Federal Rights.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: One day, I just wanted to get a new line of credit but I realized I was turned down. My credit score was close to the 800s but for some reason I kept receiving to many inquires on my denials letter. I later looked at my XXXX and was appalled when I witnessed 50 hard inquiries I didn't approve of at all. I sent a letter to XXXX disputing the information about a month ago, no progress has been changed so I'm using CFPB to report and get these things off my report.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I took out an auto loan from Ally Financial in XXXX of XXXX. Starting approximately XXXX of XXXX for a period of 6 to 7 months, this company neglected to report my payments to the credit bureaus. I was told this was due to a system wide glitch. Since this initial period of time, on at least 6 other occasions ( ranging from 1 month to 3 months ), they have neglected to report my payments to the credit bureaus. I have spent countless hours on the phone with customer service trying to get this issue rectified. I have been transferred countless times, repeatedly refused access to supervisors and the credit department and have been disconnected by rude CSRs who simply did not feel like doing their job, more times than I care to remember. The payments should be reported on the XXXX of every month. The last time my payments were reported to XXXX and XXXX was XX/XX/XXXX, only after multiple calls. Ally Auto has not reported my payment to XXXX since XX/XX/XXXX, even after repeated calls to this company. For over a year now, my payments have only been reported after multiple phone calls to Ally Auto and sometimes not even then. Clearly there is an issue here that no one has cared to look into! Making my payments on time is my responsibility. I should not also have to be responsible for making sure my payments are being reported as well.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I called Ally bank regarding a matter with my accounts. Customer service routing me to the the department handling the matter. I was very insulting my one of there members he handled the matter very unprofessional. He was yelling on the phone basically disrespected me. And told me never to call them again. After that I called them again and I did talk to a very respectful person on there. I do not believe this guy who talks to people on the phone disrespectful should be working in a bank. I want to know does ally bank condone this behavior by their people regardless of the department they work in. Then I called them on Saturday the XXXX asking for a Bank statement. I have to sit there on the phone and tell them I deserve a bank statement, but want to reroute me to another department and when I told them I deserve a statement. A hangup on the phone

Period. ALLY FINANCIAL SERVICES ' response : " WE apply the warranty refund to the BACK-END of your loan ''! XX/XX/2021 : I requested someone from ALLY ' Risk Management Team contact me. NO response from anyone until late XX/XX/2021. ALLY 's initial ( female ) representative reached-out to me and stated ALLY 's computer-screen response : " it's in your contract ''! I stated : " the provision is UN-lawful thus UN-enforceable ''!! the same as previous industry auto loan contracts that contained UN-lawful provisions, including, but not limited to : " the vehicle may NOT be removed from the state-of-purchase ''! said UN-lawful stipulation is NON-binding, HOWEVER, the balance of NON-contested loan provisions remain valid and in effect. early XX/XX/2021 : ALLY ' " XXXX '' called me and stated previous robotic-responses.
