Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I set up an online Ally back account on XX/XX/19. I attempted to deposit a check into the account on XX/XX/19. I received an email stating that the check was missing info on the Pay To : line. I resubmitted the check the same day. I received an email on XX/XX/19 stating that : We weren't able to complete this Ally Bank eCheck DepositSM because of one of the following reasons : The check contains an alteration on the front of the check The check had been previously deposited at another institution The check is from a financial institution located outside of the U.S. Please obtain a new check to scan and submit it as you normally would. The next day I tried to access my account and was told it had been fraud locked. I called the number provided XXXX and waited 45 mins on hold to speak to a Loss Prevention agent. He proceeded to tell me that I was trying to deposit a fake check and they would not be reopening my account. He stated there was nothing I could do and I had to wait until their investigation was over. I waited a week with no response. I called back 3 different times and left messages with no response. I shut by direct deposit off as soon as I realized they were not going to reopen my account. By this time two {$100.00} deposits had been made into the account from my employer. They didn't reject these deposits even though the account was frozen. I now have {$200.00} dollars sitting in a frozen account and the bank is flat refusing to allow me access to my money or even return my phone call.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX- Pulled XXXX/XXXX/2018 ( I was not present at the dealership nor did I give consent to pull my credit, I told the sales counselor that I already got approved for a loan and he still decided to shot gun blast my credit with these hard inquiries ) Ally Financial- Pulled duplicate hard inquiry on XX/XX//18 while I was not present at the dealership. I demand that the unauthorized/duplicate inquiry be removed from my credit report. I was told that when my credit was pulled it'd only show as one hard inquiry. I was lied to and coerced by the sales counselor to pull my credit in the first place. As I have said before in the above comment, I was already approve by a company for an auto loan for a good rate. I was promised a better rate that did not take place. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Pulled XXXX/XXXX/2018. I don't even recognize this company let alone did I give authorization to run my credit.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: I purchased this car in XXXX of XXXX brand new. The payment was super high as I had to rollover my old car loan into it. The payment was almost 800 a month. I was able to rewrite the loan XX/XX/XXXX for a easier payment of XXXX a month. I was married at the time and able to afford it. I however became separated early XXXX and then divorced in XX/XX/XXXX I called Ally multiple times to ask for extensions lower payments and even a new loan..I tried to get a different car to get into something I could afford but I was so far behind on payments I was unable to. I love my car and I love my loan company. I have been late with them a few times and they always send me letters to remind me I am late and then it happened 2 times ... The final notice of payment came in mail..I always struggle with finding to pay just the actual amount of the loan and then Seeing the big amount I freak out. I have XXXX babies that rely on me and I need my car. I have put everything into that car. It is worth maybe 14k now and I still owe about 20k ... .I feel as if I am never going to get out of this loan. I need help and am struggling to pay this ... it usually is between food or car.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019, my car was totaled in an accident. The insurance company paid the balance of the value of the car around {$7000.00} In XX/XX/2019, I contacted XXXX XXXX XXXX to file a claim under Gap coverage to pay off the balance of what my insurance would not cover. Constantly called Ally Financial the lien holder for several weeks. Recently, I called and asked did XXXX XXXX pay off the remaining balance of the car. They would not give me any information. I informed that I tried to access my Ally Financial account online and it says that my account was closed. I recently learned from my credit report that XXXX XXXX did not pay off the full balance that was covered under the Gap insurance and Ally is billing me about {$2700.00} to pay this debt without letting me know it existed before they put it on my credit report as a balance owed. They never explained to me why or how they derived at this figure. Neither company could explain where this figure comes from and why am I obligated to pay it at {$410.00} a month. I no longer own the car, it was signed over to my insurance company back in XXXX.

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I leased a 2017 XXXX from the following location XXXX XXXX XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX ) XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX , TX XXXX On XX/XX/XXXX, I decided to end my lease early and buy the car. The dealership told me they would pay off my lease loan with Ally Financial and sell the car to me. I agreed and financed the buy loan through XXXX XXXX XXXX. To this date, I my lease loan has not been paid off. I have had to pay two months of the lease loan and one month of the buy loan. If I dont, my credit will suffer I have spoken to the General Manager, XXXX XXXX, and he says he does not know when the dealership will be able to pay off the lease loan because the dealership and the entire company of XXXX XXXX is broke. He knew this at the time of sell. He, fraudulently, duped me and XXXX XXXX XXXX into believing the dealership obtained ownership of the car for resale. XXXX XXXX XXXX paid the dealership {$32000.00}, which I am responsible for paying. Yet, XXXX XXXX XXXX does not have the title for the car bc its owned by ally. I am stuck paying two car loans for one car and if not resolved soon, ally wants their leased car back and I will owe XXXX XXXX XXXX for a loan with no car. I will be forced to default on my loan and credit suffer for years XXXX XXXX ignores all of my attempts of follow up on the matter, including the past due registration of the car
