Issue: Lost or stolen check

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I am an Ally Bank customer ( digital bank ). Since there are no physical locations, and I needed a cashier 's check to make my first payment for an apartment, I ordered a cashier 's check over the phone. When I began the process, the agent confirmed my account, including my address in Colorado. I have lived at this address for over 6 months, and I updated my address with Ally Bank at that time. Previously, I resided in XXXX, OK. After confirming my Colorado address, the agent finished the process of sending me the cashier 's check made out to the apartment complex, and I paid for expedited shipping because my move-in date was about 5 days away. The day before my move-in, when I had still not received my check, I called Ally and they gave me the tracking number. This revealed that they sent the check to XXXX, OK. The agents I spoke to that day confirmed that this was entirely their error. The address on file was the correct Colorado address ; however, their cashier check system is a separate system that was not updated on their end, and somehow even though I confirmed my address with the agent, she must have still used the Oklahoma address later on in the phone call without ever notifying me of the same. Ally is refusing to refund the money and is requiring a notarized affidavit from the payee who is not willing to do so. The loss of this check is 100 % Ally Bank 's negligence and fault as they have confirmed, yet the refuse to refund my account with the {$2600.00} they withdrew for the lost check.

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: I paid off my car loan with Ally Auto on XX/XX/2020. On XX/XX/2020 I received an email stating that the title was released and I should see it in 7 days. I called in XXXX to ask where it was. I was then told that they did not have it that the DMV in CT had it. I then emailed the DMV and was told that they did not in fact have it, that the lean holder has the title. I then called Ally back and was first told that the DMV has it until I told them that I already talked to the DMV. Then they changed their story and said it was already mailed out. I then asked for the tracking information and was told that they miss placed it. They then went on to tell me I had to pay for a duplicate tile and when I refused to do so they ordered one for me. I then received an email on XX/XX/2020 stating it was just sent out to a 3rd party. So I gave it time to get here and it never showed up. I just called them back today and was told it must have been sent to the wrong address and that they would order another duplicate title. My car is now unregistered and I can not drive the car that I paid off in XXXX.
