Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: Hello my name is XXXX XXXX I am very disappointed and frustrated with the service of the ally bank customer service. I opened a new money market account with XXXX check deposit that I received from my grandmother and opened a checking account as well so I can use that as a everyday operations account but when I called to get my XXXX account unrestricted my account was locked and under investigation. I wanted to transfer funds in order to order a new debit card for my accounts. I spoke to a fraud detection specialist about taking the restriction off my XXXX account so I could fund my checking account from an external bank account in order to get a debit card mailed to me at which point the specialist asked me numerous questions regarding my check deposit that has already been verified from the sending bank and deposited into my account. This check is legitimate and has already cleared from my grandmothers account and into my account. Please I need access to these funds as I am unemployed at the moment and this was emergency funds.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Cashing a check

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/, a little before XXXX XXXX I used Ally Bank 's online check deposit feature to deposit a {$2000.00} check from the US Treasury. Despite beating the cutoff time, I noticed there was no actual details of when the check would post. Later that night, the site was updated to indicate an extended hold of five days was placed on it. The only reason given was " inconsistent information on the check '' ( what?! ) I am familiar with the reasons that an extended hold can be placed on government checks - none apply in this case. I've never been overdrawn. It wasn't over the large check threshold. There is no reasonable doubt that this check will be paid ( it's a GOVERNMENT CHECK ). It seems they are actually probably just annoyed that my balance is far lower than the value of a check, and made up a reason to hold it. They refused to remove the hold when I asked. Now {$2000.00} is in limbo. I've been waiting five months for this check.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I made timely payments for Ally Financial in XXXX. Additionally, I had deferred payments for both XXXX and XX/XX/2023. Also, I had a deferred payment for the month of XXXX and XX/XX/2023 from XXXX XXXX. Despite my repeated attempts to dispute these matters, the companies persist in reporting the accounts with late payments. XXXX XXXX promptly updated the XXXX month, but unfortunately reported the month of XXXX as late. Although the account was settled in XXXX, they still persist in reporting it as late.
