Complaint ID: 7787188

Date Received: 2023-11-01

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I submitted a deposit transfer on XX/XX/XXXX of {$250.00}. The transfer request says " we withdrew funds on XX/XX/XXXX and Ally did take this money from my other, non Ally savings account. Ally then closed my account, and refused my paycheck that I had set up for direct deposit. In late XXXX, XXXX a customer service rep said that this should not happen and that I would receive my paycheck. Now, on XX/XX/XXXX, I found the account was closed and I can't access my paycheck. I spoke with XXXX, and after multiple five minute gaps, she responded and basically said " we closed your account. '' No new info, and didn't seem to have read the chat with XXXX. She escalated to XXXX, who also wasn't able to help, but did assure me that I would NOT be receiving the {$200.00} account opening bonus -- but would I like her to submit a request to reopen my account ( which would take XXXX days and I wouldn't have my paycheck... ) At minimum, I think the transfer request of {$250.00} should have been blocked or not processed if the account will be closed. Thankfully I have other cash available, but for some people this could be a really big issue -- no paycheck and Ally even took additional money out of my savings. It would be different if the money was never withdrawn from my other account -- a little bit, but to close an account with a pending deposit ( and an upcoming paycheck deposit that XXXX acknowledged ) feels wrong.

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

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: My credit report is showing late payments to XXXX XXXX XXXX. These inaccurate items are not only embarrassing ; they are preventing me from obtaining the credit I deserve. As you and I are both aware, there are laws that ensure that credit bureaus report only accurate credit information. It is evident that the inclusion of this inaccurate information is a mistake on either your part or the reporting creditors part. Also, I'm the one filing this complaint, and I give Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) authority to investigate this claim. It is with great concern that I insist you verify that this information is incorrect and update and repair it from my profile. Due to the damaging effects of such negative inaccurate information I must insist that this is done swiftly.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: Prior to six months ago, I was able to Unlock and Lock my Debit Card every month end so that I can Transfer funds from my Ally Bank chequing account I named Payables, to my XXXX XXXX account, so that I can pay my XXXX XXXX I have never had any interest, penalty or fees for late payments on any of my accounts and the inability to Unlock my Ally Bank Debit Card to make the transfer to pay my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX ), is going to make that happen for the first time and Ally Bank should reimburse me accordingly. For six months now, I have been unable to Unlock/Lock my Ally Bank Debit Card using either their Web interface or their XXXX application interface. I have spent endless, countless now wasted hours, on the phone, in text and email, with Ally Bank over the past six months reporting this to them and every time they say it will be fixed in 2 days and it never has been for 6 months now. I found a workaround to Unlock/Lock my Debit Card, using their AI Text Bot, but when I kindly called to inform them of this workaround, that they admitted many customers were having the same issue, the next month end I tried using their AI Text Bot to Unlock my decor card, it was no longer working. It is like they are purposely blocking me from using my Debit Card. Now I can not Unlock my Debit Card and they say they can not Unlock it either, so I literally have no access to my money and can not pay my bills. If XXXX XXXX puts interest/penalty/fees on my XXXX XXXX account, Ally Bank should not only reimburse me for that, they should have to pay me a penalty fee of {$100.00} for 6 months of wasted time, lack of minimal service and holding my money hostage. That {$100.00} minimum penalty should regardless of fixing the problem at this time, given I have wasted 6 months of my time trying to get them to fix this. In fact {$100.00} is nothing, it should be {$100.00} per hostage month for a penalty paid to me of {$600.00}.
