Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: I have XXXX bank accounts, a checking account with XXXX and a savings account with Ally. The XXXX original balance was XXXX. The Ally original balance was XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I wanted to consolidate accounts, so I started a transfer of XXXX from XXXX to Ally. XXXX is now XXXX balance and Ally should be XXXX + XXXX = XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I forgot that I already did the transfer, so I accidentally made a second transfer of XXXX from Santander to Ally. XXXX is now XXXX and XXXX because of an overdraft fee. Ally should be XXXX + XXXX = XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX, I realize my mistake and see that XXXX is overdrawn. I submit a transfer of XXXX from Ally back to XXXX to fix the overdraft. XXXX is now back to XXXX balance. Ally should be XXXX, which is the correct balance and the original goal of the first transfer on XX/XX/XXXX. XXXX shows the correct XXXX balance ( excluding minimal interest payment ). I don't know what happened on the Ally end, but they suspended some transfers and deleted the incoming transfer that would make my account the appropriate XXXX. Instead, they deleted the incoming transfer and kept the outgoing transfer, and now the Ally account shows XXXX ( original balance prior to incoming XXXX ) and the XXXX is completely lost. I contacted Ally bank and they created a case reference number but have no idea where the XXXX went that is still missing from my account. XXXX shows the correct bank balance of roughly XXXX. I have email receipts of the requested transfers from Ally, but Ally has " lost '' the XXXX and my Ally bank account does not reflect the accurate bank balance which should be XXXX. I am looking for the lost XXXX to be returned to my Ally account to reflect the appropriate balance XXXX. The correct final balances should be XXXX XXXX balance and Ally XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: Unauthorized Credit Inquiry To Whom It May Concern : I recently received a copy of my credit report. The credit report showed a credit inquiry by your company that I do not recall authorizing. I understand that you shouldn't be allowed to put an inquiry on my file unless I have authorized it.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with fees charged

Consumer Complaint: From XXXX I made various attempts to change my last name with Ally Financial. I was directed to call the XXXX customer service line because I need to, and quote " speak to another department ''. After making these attempts, when payments would try to clear my account they were getting rejected because the name did not match. XXXX XXXX sent me a letter stating if anymore ACH transactions tried to clear under the name " XXXX XXXX '', my account would be frozen due to fraud security which in fact did happen. After making several attempts to pay balance in good faith ( with available funds ), Ally Financial denied taking payment via over the phone with debit card. Once a few payments were made with Ally Financial via XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX, the fee charged through those entities were requested to be posted to the balance owed on the loan. Ally Financial refused to post the amount to the loan. And in the contract between myself and Ally Financial does not state that I have to pay XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX using debit is also a way of receiving secure funds, and Ally Financial denied payment of the loan using this method. Also, no communication via letter, required by PA state law was sent certified by mail in regards to repossession of the XXXX XXXX XXXX, not to the garaged address nor my husband 's former address where they attempted to pick up the automobile.. Then the company attempted to repossess the automobile twice without notice, after refusing to take payment via debit card by phone method or via Ally Financial App. After hiring an attorney, Ally Financial stated they could not speak with me, and would need to speak with my attorney. And after providing my attorney 's information, they stated they did not have it. I had to provide her information several times before any attempts to contact her was made. After one call to my attorney 's office, a call from my attorney was returned to no avail. 1 call to my attorney was made after several months of attempting to make payments using my new legal name and giving Ally Financial my attorney 's information. My attorney even wrote to Ally Financial via using their customer service emailing method and again no return email of phone call. After giving the company avid time to respond to my attorney, and stated that if the company did not respond in the allotted amount of time they would forfeit any amount owed. No response to me or my attorney was received AT ALL.
