Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: I am so angry and frustrated with XXXX and the different credit card companies. They have been working on my investigation for over a month, with no resolution. I have sent my police report and my FTC report that I filed along with my identification and they are not removing these accounts from my credit profile. They do not have any evidence against me, and are continuing to report these accounts. I have spent so much time so much energy, and I am so stressed from this situation. They are not helping whatsoever, and I am getting anxiety from talking to so many different customer service reps, who one promises to remove the accounts, to another one who says we never received the report, to another one who said they did receive my reports. They were all done and uploaded online and have record. Please help in resolving this matter, I need these accounts to be removed from my credit report immediately. I am not able to rent any other house, or buy car. Please help. The companies I am reporting are 1. XXXX 2. ALLY FINANCIAL ( 6 different accounts in which 2 accounts have been removed 4 accounts are still reporting ) 3. XXXX XXXX 4. XXXX XXXX 5. XXXX XXXX XXXX 6. XXXX XXXX Please help in resolving this matter, I have reported my identity theft from way back in XX/XX/XXXX. These companies have not been removed from my credit report, they are giving me very bad customer service, and XXXX is by far the worst credit bureau to deal with.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Credit denial

Consumer Complaint: Recently we leased a new automobile. Shortly after completing the lease I received a letter from Ally Bank Lease Trust, stating they had been asked by my XXXX dealer to accept the lease. The letter stated that they could not do so because my credit score was unavailable from XXXX. The reason my score is unavailable is that I have placed a freeze on my credit reports from XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. Because my information was not available from XXXX, Ally tried XXXX , XXXX. XXXX is a credit reporting agency I have never heard of and the information they have on me appears to be incomplete. I have two complaints as follows : - Ally is using a credit reporting agency that is not nationally recognized and who is providing less than accurate data. - If XXXX , XXXX is legitimate, why has it not been required to be part of the free credit report process as outlined on XXXX?

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem accessing account

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019, I had a email forwarded to me by a family member from ally bank. The email was about my checking account and included personal information. This email is NOT associated in any way with my account at ally bank. I logged in to my online bank account and looked for this email but could not find it in my contact information. The only email listed is my main email- XXXX. I then made the mistake of contacting ally bank by phone and after a 29 minute conversation with a customer service rep AND a supervisor, My problem was not resolved. If fact, I was never able to discuss my problem because according to ally bank, they could not " authenticate '' me so they would not help me. This security procedure is not helping or protecting me. It is keeping me from resolving problems that are about my account security. ALLY BANK should not be sending my personal account information to random email accounts and I want this resolved

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2019, attempted to online ACH transfer {$50000.00} from my Ally Interest Checking account to my XXXX XXXX ( have done this in the past without issue ) ; was unable to and called into their Customer Care ( XXXX ) ; Customer Care told me it would take 1-2 business days to resolve. Provided case number XXXX for tracking. XX/XX/2019, called into Ally to check on progress of case number ; was told they had never seen this issue before and asked me to confirm I wanted to ACH transfer to my XXXX account they had on file ( I confirmed ). They offered a wire transfer, but I requested the ACH transfer be fixed instead as I did not want to go through a wire each time. XX/XX/2019, called into Ally to check on progress, was transferred to their " Back Office '' which handles fraud. Back Office informed me there was no hold on my account that would indicate any issue and that they could not help me. Transferred me back to Customer Care and ask for a supervisor. Supervisor also confirmed they had never seen this issue before and that it would take another 3-5 business days to fix. This is unacceptable to me so I requested a wire transfer from my Ally Interest Checking account to my XXXX XXXX account. Issue is still unresolved.

Issue: Can't contact lender or servicer

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have an auto loan with Ally Financials, I recently moved from XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and I need to register my vehicle, however without the the title I can not do so. On XX/XX/XXXX, I contacted Ally for assistance on obtaining a copy of the certified title. They advised me to fax the documents, they were faxed and confirmation was received. Since i had not heard from them, A month later I followed up with Ally, and they asked me to re-faxed the documents and again on XX/XX/XXXX I sent them along with the previous fax confirmation. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, and on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX once again I followed up. They asked that I faxed the documents again. On XX/XX/XXXX they notified me that they dont hold titles on financed vehicles as per XXXX regulations the Department of Motor Vehicle held the title and that I needed to go to the DMV department. So, today XX/XX/XXXX, I went to the DMV department and they advised me I had to go back to and have them ordered the title as they own the lean on the car. So DMV were not able to assist. So, I went back and called Ally, spoke with about 4 different representatives for almost 2 hours and no one was able to assist. On the fifth attempt I asked to speak with a supervisor, XXXX assisted me and contacted the title department, jointly, we spoke with XXXX who at the end told XXXX to process the title request ( she had no idea on what she was doing ). This time I was told to fax my drivers license and the DMV form, MV-902 ( XX/XX/XXXX ) and to call as soon as it was fax to confirm receipt. 20 minutes after faxing the documents to the fax number provided for the 4th time ( XXXX ) I spoke with two different representatives with no success. They were unable to confirm this information, got frustrated and both times they hanged up the phone on me. As of today, this issue is still outstanding. No calls back have been received. I have been patient enough for the past 6 weeks. I cant even register my vehicle and its an inconvenience. I need help! I cant seem to go anywhere with these people. There customer service team appears to not know what they are doing and I have received different responses from different people on the same topic. They lock follow up skills, sympathy, and simply Do NOT CARE.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/19, received an email alert that there was a scheduled payment to XXXX for {$120.00}. XXXX was my old cable and internet provider when I lived in a prior state. I moved to a new state over two years ago. When I moved I cancelled the recurring monthly Bill Pay I had set up through my Ally Bank account. 2 years go by and I get an email alert ( on XX/XX/19 at XXXX MST ) that an automatic bill pay was scheduled for XXXX on XX/XX/19. I logged into my Ally Bank account and saw that a payment had posted for {$120.00} on XX/XX/19. I checked my email, and I never got a notification that there was a payment scheduled for XX/XX/19. There was only the email for the scheduled payment for XXXX. I called Ally Bank, and spoke to a representative. I informed the representative that there was a charge for {$120.00} to XXXX through their Bill Pay product that I did not schedule and did not authorize. The representative indicated that since I had at one time set up a recurring payment with XXXX that they considered the transaction an authorized one. I responded that it doesn't make sense that I would have cancelled a payment for 2-straight years if I didn't want it permanently cancelled. I further explained that XXXX doesn't offer service in my current state, and that my account with them has been cancelled for over two years. I also noted to the representative that there are several dormant accounts in my Bill Pay because neither the mobile app nor the online banking site allow me to delete those old accounts from Bill Pay. I would like to delete all these old accounts so that this kind of thing doesn't happen. The representative was argumentative with me and was initially indicating there wasn't anything they could do, and that I would need to take care of it on my end. It wasn't until I mentioned that they were in violation of Reg-E that they seemed willing to note this transaction was disputed. However, the representative did not seem to think this had much chance since they considered the transaction authorized, even though by all logic and reason it clearly was not. I did get a dispute number and am waiting to get a response.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: I have notified Ally Financial as of XX/XX/19 in regards to changing my payment date from the XXXX of each month to the XXXX of each month instead. I was advised by the representative that my original date was for the XXXX of each month. I explained to the representative why will I change my date from the XXXX to the XXXX it just dont make any sense. However changing my date to the end of the month is much convenient for me and to keep my car payment on track. I have asked to speak with a supervisor to rectify the problem and I was connected to another representative. Ally financial has very poor customer service and they are not willing to help their customers. I really need this problem to be rectified and to be handled in the appropriate manner.
