Issue: Communication tactics

Subissue: Frequent or repeated calls

Consumer Complaint: Ally Financial called me, roughly a week ago, asking to pass a message to someone I am related to. I know they skip traced my contact information, as I have not spoken to this relative in over 10 years. I informed the representative that I have little contact with that person and to not contact me again about the matter. Since then, I have received repeated calls and multiple voice mails in the same day. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, after getting multiple voice mails, I answered the call and again informed them that I have no contact with the relative they are looking for and again to not contact me. Rather than terminate the call, the representative attempted to push the matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I paid off an auto loan in XX/XX/XXXX, over the duration of the loan I paid extra on the auto loan and also made two payments in the same month. I recently discovered that a late payment was recorded to my credit history in XX/XX/XXXX. Ally never contacted me to inform me they reported a late payment on my credit history so I was not aware of the issue until I applied for a mortgage in XX/XX/XXXX. I was also informed by Ally today that the extra principle payments I made during my loan term were never applied towards my principle. Ally was taking the principle payments and pushing the payment out several months and charging me interest on the auto loan.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: My wife received unemployment benefits due to the pandemic. She can't read English very well and isn't adept at computers so I had to fill out the forms to make it happen. I added her as a co-owner of my bank account at Ally Bank and so I put this account number into the form to receive the funds from the government. The problem is that for whatever reason, my request to add her to my account didn't go through at Ally Bank and I did not realize this. I added her to my other bank ( XXXX XXXX ) and they added her as co-owner immediately. However, Ally Bank asked for additional documentation because my spouse is a foreign national. I gave them the additional documentation and assumed that it had been taken care of. A few months into her receiving her unemployment benefits, Ally Bank locks my account and tells me to contact them. So I call and after waiting on hold for a while, the woman comes back and says in an accusatory voice, " Who is ( wife 's name ) to you? ", I say, " That's my wife. '' She must have thought I was lying because she then says, " Yeah? We're ending our relationship with you. Your account received funds for ( wife 's name ) which is not your name on the account. '' As I try to explain that I thought she had been added as a co-owner of the account, the rep hangs up on me mid-sentence. When I tried to call back, I found that my number was blocked. I understand that it may look strange because my wife is a foreign national and has an XXXX name while my name is quite plain. However, I do have a marriage certificate that shows we were married on XX/XX/XXXX in Pennsylvania. The incident with Ally Bank happened XXXX, XXXX and it is now XXXX, XXXX and I have not heard anything from Ally Bank. However, they keep sending me paper statements for my account which show that I have {$10000.00} in the account.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft

Consumer Complaint: I am a victim of identity theft. Due to the Corona Virus Pandemic, we are all facing which has me sitting still at home and I saw the recent news about the multiple XXXX XXXX breaches. I decided to look at my credit reports from the 3 major credit bureaus and found that someone had used my Identity. I have no idea how the theft took place. I also have no knowledge of any suspects. I did not receive any money, goods, or services as a result of identity theft. I contacted the Credit Bureau and told me to file an Identity Theft Report which I am doing. I appreciate your effort in getting this matter resolved. Thank you. Please let me know if you need any other information from me to block this information from my credit report. Thank you.
