Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: Subject : Dispute for Late Payment Reporting on Charged-Off Account Dear XXXX XXXX Dispute Resolution Team, I am writing to formally dispute the recent late payment reporting on my charged-off account that is currently in collections. After initiating a dispute for incorrect information on this account, I was pleased to see that XXXX XXXX updated the information on XX/XX/XXXX. However, my satisfaction was short-lived, as on XX/XX/XXXX, you reported a late payment on an account that has already been charged off and is in collections. This late payment notation has had a significant and detrimental impact on my credit score, causing it to drop by XXXX XXXX. As a result, I have lost my pre-approval letter, which was crucial for providing for my family 's needs. This sudden decrease in my credit score is creating substantial financial hardship for me and is negatively affecting my livelihood. I urge you to investigate this matter urgently and rectify the situation by removing the late payment notation from my credit report. It is essential to correct this error promptly to restore my credit score to its previous status and enable me to regain my pre-approval letter, which is vital for my family 's well-being. I am prepared to provide any necessary documentation to support my dispute and facilitate a swift resolution. Please consider the significant impact that this late payment notation has had on my financial situation and act promptly to rectify this issue. I look forward to your prompt response and resolution of this matter. Thank you for your attention to this urgent issue. Sincerely,

Issue: Problem caused by your funds being low

Subissue: Bounced checks or returned payments

Consumer Complaint: Last XX/XX/XXXX, I transfer {$1500.00} from my ally account to my external account XXXXXXXX XXXX. Then I received an email from XXXX XXXX that Ally filed a transfer dispute on my behalf without my knowledge and caused my XXXX account to be closed. I asked Ally bank the reason for doing that without informing me about the dispute. Ally bank said that its their responsibility to cover the funds since my account was overdraft last XX/XX/XXXX. As far as I know, they can only cancel the funds transfer if the account holder made an error but in my case, i did not made an error because I already got the transfer to XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: I had transferred {$1400.00} on XX/XX/2023 to Ally bank through XXXX Bank in search of better interest rates as I firmly believe banks tend to lie about their true interest rate or change it last second, I was happy with Ally until I noticed XXXX XXXXXXXX had offered 4.30 % APY noticing that and recognizing them as a big bank I was questionable and only started with {$500.00} on XX/XX/2023 realizing their interest rate was legitimate I decided to move funds from Ally bank to XXXX XXXX through XXXX as it is a faster method of transfer. I tried and it wasn't working, finally on the third or fourth try I had received a notification saying I'd met the daily limit, something I would've adhered to if I received the first time. Later I had received notice on XX/XX/2023 that they had locked my account, confused I called and asked them to unlock my account. I had done the whole verification process and they claimed it was under review for two days. So I waited the two days XX/XX/2023 I called them in the morning asking to please unlock my account they said that an investigator is looking into it right now and I should receive a call. I never did. I called back in the afternoon and received the same answer that it was under review by an investigator. I think it's ridiculous that I can't just verify my identity and unlock it right now, especially since I told them it was the account holder who was trying to transfer money. I've been told to wait tomorrow XX/XX/2023 to call in the afternoon but I don't have high hopes, I was just trying to transfer money. From a supposedly " Good '' bank now it's turned into a nightmare to get back my almost {$1500.00}.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MD XXXX Phone XXXX Ally Bank # XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MNXXXX, XXXX Address on loan XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX.MD XXXX Alley Bank car loan is reporting incorrect information on my credit report. I spoke to them so many times about my payment history and missing payments they tried to say I didn't pay or was late. I few months ago Ally Bank was supposed to move 2 late payments from last year that was never moved. This year they was supposed to correct my account but never did. They have late and unpaid remarks payments on my credit report that's not correct. I wasn't late for majority of the late payments they have on my report. Also they have unpaid payments on my report that's been paid. A few times I was on a payment plan and payments wasn't do because of the payments plan and the still marked me late while on a payments plan. Nobody at Alley Bank will assist you. I spoke to a representative from alley Bank and she gave me dates that Ally Bank said I was late but wasn't late. When I spoke to the representative during the week of XXXX XXXX XXXX she gave me a few dates that Alley Bank said I was late and I looked at my bank statement and Ally Bank state and it stated I'm not late and I informed the agent from Ally Bank of tha while we were on the phone then she looked and said may like 2 late payments that Ally Bank said I was late and Ally Bank agent said we have that payments. Then I asked her to remove that incorrect information and she said she have to put in a request. I said to Ally Bank agent if you know the information is incorrect why you just can't remove inaccurate information she said someone else deal with that. Also Ally Bank have me 69 and 90 days late which is untrue. Also I paid my payments in XXXX to Ally Bank which was XXXX and that was paided on time and I paid a few cents over the amount. Then I had a pay off amount of XXXX. I sent Alley bank on check through the maid on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX to pay off my loan account with Ally Bank and they gave me a late fee which I paid before the payments was due. My payment is due the XXXX of each month. Theny Ally Bank agent dmsaid maybe the payments was list in the mail. This happened to me twice when I sent a check and Ally Bank tried to say maybe it's lost. I believe Ally Bank are doing fraud to get extra money out of their clients. I also Ally Bank have my monthly payments amount wrong on my credit report my pay is XXXX and Ally Bank reported it on my credit report for XXXX for my car payment. On my XXXX report I don't have no payments information. Also Alley bank reported my balances incorrect. After I paid XXXX. XX/XX/XXXX, my balance was to pay car off was XXXX in XXXX, then XXXX went to XXXX, then in XXXX it stated 1 have XXXX for my car payments which was incorrect. My whole account is in correct. I am asking that they move all of my late payments, unpaid payments, and remove 60 - 90 days late on my account because the information isn't correct. Also I had a XXXX dollar electric warrty on my loan and I told Ally Bank to remove the electric loan and they were supposed to and why that wasn't deducted from my car loan amount. I can provide my bank statements and Ally Bank car loan statements. I believe that Alley Bank redacted the states as well because I never seen any late payments on my report until recently and I need this looked into. The inaccurate information that Ally Bank reported on my credit report prevented me from new car loans. I believe they are just trying to get money out of their clients because if I had late fees why I'm just receiving all these late fees on my account? Now they are saying I have 213 in.late Payments and how is the late Payments still 213 when Ally Bank said some of my late payments are incorrect so if that was true that amount should've decreased but Ally Bank agent said she have to put a request in to have the payment removed. When you call XXXX Bank you can never talk to anyone with authority to help resolve your issues and they gives out inaccurate information. Example : on credit report from XXXX for Ally Bank XX/XX/XXXX balance is XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX is XXXX which is a XXXX dollar difference what is the XXXX for. XX/XX/XXXX Ally Bank reported my balances is XXXX for XX/XX/XXXX but the state Ally Bank sent me it stated my balance is XXXX I believe but it didn't say my balance my XXXX. I also asked XXXX Bank to not cash the checks I sent them that they claimed may be lost, which I don't believe. I believe they does this to give people late fees because my account isn't correct. On XXXX report it's states my payment is XXXX and this isn't accurate. Look at my prior payment history which is great.
