Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I tried to open the Ally mobile app to manage my savings account. I had the wrong password saved on my phone and accidentally locked my account. I called Ally on Monday XX/XX/31 and they would not give me access to my account. They instead said their loss prevention team would call me. It has been two days and their loss prevention team has still not called me. I called them again and they said there was nothing they could do. I have an emergency and need access to my funds but they will not do anything to help me.

Date Received: 2021-05-30

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

Consumer Complaint: A few years ago I paid off my XXXX XXXX XXXX which was financed through GMAC. It is my understanding that Ally Financial has taken over the remnants/accounts of GMAC. I contacted Ally Financial beginning XX/XX/XXXX to obtain a " lien release form. '' Since I do not have an account with Ally, I am unable to complete any of these processes on line. Everything must be done via telephone call and U.S. Mail. On XX/XX/XXXX I provided my name, address, VIN # to the person at Ally, spelling the name of street, providing the complete mailing address, and I was told I would receive the lien release request form within 7 to 10 days. ( Reference # XXXX ) Three weeks later, on XX/XX/XXXX, I did not have the form so I called back and spoke to XXXX ( Reference l # XXXX ). I was told the form was mailed on XX/XX/XXXX but learned after questioning that they did not use the complete address -- leaving off the suite number and box number. Therefore, the form would never reach me as my mail box is located within a strip center and the suite number is an absolute necessity. I was then told the form would be mailed out again to the correct address and that I should expect it within 7 to 10 days. On XX/XX/XXXX, after not yet receiving the form, I contacted Ally Financial again and spoke to XXXX. She informed me that the form was once again mailed, confirming the correct address, and then told me to " give it a little more time. '' When I asked her where the form was being mailed from, she said " the Title Department '' and when I asked the location, she put me on a 3 minute hold and after returning to the call informed me the form was mailed from XXXX, MD. I am experiencing financial hardship due to the COVID pandemic and I am in urgent need of selling my car. This delay on behalf of Ally Financial is causing me undue stress and unnecessary pain and suffering. Even after I do receive the lien release request form, I am concerned -- with their demonstrated incompetence -- that they will further delay my securing the lien release ... causing even more financial stress and strain I need assistance!

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: My friend sent me {$250.00} payment via XXXX transfer from his XXXX XXXX XXXX account to my Ally Bank checking account on XX/XX/2021. This {$250.00} XXXX transfer was successful and the money should arrive in my Ally Bank account instantly. However, it didn't happen. Instead, Ally Bank is holding my money and doing a compliance review on this incoming transfer. Such reviews never happened in my incoming XXXX transfers before. It is not stated in Ally Bank website regarding XXXX transfer policy either. I request Ally Bank to immediately release this {$250.00} to my Ally Checking Account without any further delay. This {$250.00} money must be release to my Ally account IMMEDIATELY.

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

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

Consumer Complaint: During the height of the COVID pandemic my auto lease with Ally financial was extended on what was supposed to be a lease extension through the COVID crisis. When I spoke with the company they had indicated that nothing was needed on my end to extend the lease. The company had been taking my payments out of our account automatically, but because of the extension during COVID they had terminated this automatic payment deduction without informing us. I had called the company several times after I found that they had reported my lease payments as being late. Due to the fact that we were in the process of buying and selling a home, after repeated lengthy calls with Ally were led to believe that paying the account in full would resolve the negative report against our credit. Even though the account was paid in full, even paying an amount I did not feel was due, the Serious Delinquency against my credit was not removed and it is causing us financial strain and limiting our ability to obtain an affordable mortgage. We had been leasing through Ally for 6+ years and never once had a late payment until this confusion and miscommunication they caused during the height of this pandemic.
