Issue: Getting a loan or lease
Subissue: Credit denial
Consumer Complaint: Over the past couple weeks I have been trying to get an auto loan. However almost every single bank has turned me down without even a counteroffer, just a denial. I have no idea why this is because my credit score is not awful its like a XXXX and I dont owe anyone any money so my DTI and my credit usage are both 0 %. So there is no reason for me to not be able to get an auto loan, Ive never had any issues up until I returned a car to XXXX XXXX XXXX where Im convinced they have put something on a portion of my credit that I am unable to see but the banks can and thats why Im getting denied like I am. I have bought over 15 cars since Ive been driving and Ive done no money down with worse credit and gotten approved but now I dont wan na do money down but I just get denied over and over, even from places that have approved me before with no or little money down and it didnt start until I dealt with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX This is causing me serious financial issues because I can not work without a car, and Ive tried every type of car and dealership and even the dealerships are confused as to why the banks arent countering with a down payment amount or different terms or something but they arent. Something is not right and I want it fixed. Ally continues to deny me based off of one late payment on my auto loan with then even though it was their representatives fault because he put my account info in wrong and then the payment bounced and they never called me or even returned the payment until after my grace period was over and they reported me as late. Had they let me know something was wrong or returned the payment I wouldve fixed it but I had them read my the account info used for said payment and it was incorrect meaning their rep heard me wrong or didnt hear me or check themselves to ensure it was correct but Im suffering for his negligence.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Problem with fees charged
Consumer Complaint: I am writing to bring a serious matter to your attention and request an immediate investigation into the alleged fraudulent practices by Ally Bank. I have gathered substantial evidence that supports my claim of consumer fraud committed by Ally Bank 's auto financing division. It is deeply concerning that all the customer service agents I have interacted with are based in XXXX and seem indifferent when confronted about their involvement in what appears to be a banking scam. Whenever I request to speak with a customer representative or supervisor based in the XXXX, I am either abruptly hung up on or redirected to the wrong department. This behavior raises serious doubts about the integrity of Ally Bank 's operations. To provide you with a specific incident, on Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, I accessed my auto page on Ally.com and found that the payoff amount for my XXXX XXXX XXXX, financed by Ally, was {$14000.00}, valid until XX/XX/XXXX. I have attached the proof for your reference. However, to my astonishment, when I checked my Ally.com auto portal on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX ( after mailing the payoff check to Ally Bank via Priority Mail ) the payoff amount had increased to {$14000.00} ( proof attached ). This sudden increase of {$12.00} within a span of less than XXXX hours, despite the original payoff amount being valid until XX/XX/XXXX, is highly suspicious and raises serious concerns. Upon contacting Ally Bank, I spoke with their representatives in XXXX, who struggled to comprehend XXXX. Shockingly, XXXX separate representatives confirmed that Ally Bank takes its time to process payoff checks, which XXXX take XXXX days, and charges additional fees during this period. This practice is nothing short of pure banking fraud and can not be tolerated. It is our duty to protect innocent consumers from such deceptive practices, especially when they are carried out by a supposedly legitimate banking institution like Ally. I ask that you to take immediate action to rectify this situation and investigate the alleged fraudulent activities by Ally Bank. Consumers deserve transparency, fairness, and protection from such " legalized scams. '' It is deeply disturbing that a bank of Ally 's stature would engage in such practices behind the backs of its customers. I kindly request a prompt response to this complaint and a thorough investigation into the matter. You may reach me at XXXX or XXXX to discuss this further. I trust that you will address this issue with the seriousness it deserves and take appropriate action to restore trust in Ally Bank. Thank you for your attention to this matter. Sincerely, XXXX XXXX

Issue: Closing an account
Subissue: Funds not received from closed account
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2023, I advised Ally Bank that my mother passed away and I was appointed Executor of her Estate. I attached the Death Certificate and Letter of Testamentary through Secure Messaging showing that I am appointed Executor of my mom 's estate. I received a message that the documents were received and would be reviewed in 2-3 business days. In 7-10 business days after the review, they would mail me a " XXXX XXXX '' with instructions on what to do to get the account closed and transferred to me. I called Ally Bank when I did not receive anything by XX/XX/2023. The representative told me it was mailed out and give it a few more days. I called again on XX/XX/2023 and the Ally Bank representative told me they were still reviewing it and give it a few more days. So the previous representative lied when he said the documents were mailed out. I called again after not receiving anything and the XXXX told me they were going to XXXX the documents to me for next day delivery and even gave me a reference number. When I called back 2 days later after not receiving the XXXX documents, I was advised that the " Back Office '' is still doing a review. Ive called several times since then. My last phone call was on XX/XX/2023. The XXXX told me " it shouldn't take that long '' and checked with the " Back Office '' again. Again, they stated they're still doing their review. I even had one representative go so far as to tell me " we have a lot of other customers we work with. I left a message to have someone call me from Ally Bank to tell me why I havent received the Beneficiary Packet. No one has called or responded to my message. What I want is for my Mom 's account to be closed right away and the account transferred to me as Executor of her estate. I am really frustrated with Ally Bank blowing me off like they have been doing. I need this resolved right away.

Issue: Managing an account
Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals
Consumer Complaint: On early XXXX I opened a saving account with Ally Banking. My first deposit was in XX/XX/XXXX for {$2500.00}. the second deposit was on XX/XX/XXXX for {$2500.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX Ally withdrew {$2500.00} by mistake for Stop Payment reason and send it back. That money never got back to my Credit Union account from where it was sent. I have spent 4 hours with my bank looking for that returned money with no success. It is my opinion that Ally Bank made some kind of error when the {$2500.00} was sent back to my C.U. account because it has been a month and 1/2 and that money has not arrived. There was no reason for Ally Bank to send that money Back. I am retired and hope you can help me with this issue.
