Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Reporting company used your report improperly

Consumer Complaint: My payment with Ally financial is due on the XXXX of every month. Ally financial is reporting a payment as 30 days late on my credit report from the month of XX/XX/XXXX that was paid on the XX/XX/XXXX when the payment was only 8 days late. Ally financial is also reporting my XX/XX/XXXX payment as 30 days late when it was paid on the XXXX only making it only 12 days late. I also made an extra payment of in XX/XX/XXXX but Ally financial knows that they get more interest if I don't make extra payments so they are tying to penalize me for a month that I made extra payments on, hence why they are being dishonest on my credit report about my payment date. I use ally financials online portal to make payments and I have attached screen shorts of payments that were process by ally financial on the XX/XX/XXXX and on XX/XX/XXXX. Ally Financial is not being honest and is abusing their power of not having the late payments removed by not agreeing to remove the late payments. Ally financial can clearly see in the online portal that the payments were made within the 30 day time frame.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: For my Ally Bank checking account, this XXXX, I called Ally Bank customer service to request cancelling a check in the amount of {$100.00} to the payee XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Over the phone, Ally Bank representative informed me that the {$100.00} check has already been put stopped payment. I thought this check was successfully cancelled. However, today when I looked at my bank transaction history this year, I found that this {$100.00} was cashed out of my checking account, with {$100.00} deducted from my Ally checking. I was extremely surprised with Ally Banks mistake. They were supposed to cancel this check, but they didnt. I request Ally Bank to immediately correct their mistake and recover this {$100.00} back to my checking account immediately.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed

Consumer Complaint: I opened a new account at Ally Bank. I needed to make a car payment through my old bank. My intent was to send money ( {$300.00} ) to my girlfriend via XXXX and have her send it to my old account. XXXX has always been instant, but after three days, my girlfriend still has not received the payment. I moved cash to my old account and paid that way. Now, I made a XXXXXXXX XXXX in 4 payment with the same checking account for XXXX dollars. One came out at XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. It came out again today, XX/XX/XXXX also at XXXXXXXX XXXX. I only have one transaction showing in XXXX but two debits in my checking account for that amount. Ally has not responded to my complaints about either issue. It hasn't been that long but I have {$450.00} that I do not have access to currently because of this. Ally also claims that they do not see a record of *any* transaction from XXXX in this amount. In the attached screenclip, the payment from the XXXX is the one that is in my XXXX history. The one from the XXXX is the one that is unaccounted for. Again, the Ally agents claim there is no record of either in my account.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020, I ( XXXX XXXX XXXX attempted to pay a residential handyman for his services for an amount of {$1800.00} via XXXX. The payment did not go through immediately as it usually should. So, I called Ally and tried cancelling the XXXX transaction and instead try XXXX this time. Fortunately, the XXXX transaction went through and the handyman got paid for his services. However, XXXX did not block the previous transaction as requested, and went ahead with the duplicate payment on XX/XX/2020. The recipient, knowing the quandary I was in, informed me that he wasn't able to receive the XXXX transaction as well as he didn't have an account with XXXX at that time. This was the last time I was able to make contact with this handyman. As of today, this {$1800.00} is being held with XXXX due to " compliance reasons ''. Since XXXX, both XXXX and Ally have been playing a game of cat and mouse by not giving a clear response on when this transaction would be reversed. XXXX wants Ally to initiate a claim to reverse this payment, and Ally refuses to do the same. This practice is fraudulent and unethical and I need help!
