Issue: Improper use of your report

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

Consumer Complaint: This inquiries was unauthorized. I have contacted all three credit bureaus as well as each one of the listed companies on several occasions. The credit bureaus have advised me there is nothing they can do about falsely obtained credit inquiries without letters from the companies that pulled my credit. I have reached back out to the reporting companies and advised that the pulls were obtained without my consent, and the companies have all refused to remove anything about them, I consistently am advised to wait 2 years for them to fall off, however these pulls were never authorized nor are they valid.. I am at my witts end and believe that I should not be held accountable for something on my credit report that is not only INACCURATE but illegally obtained. These inquiries all happened betweenXX/XX/XXXX-XX/XX/XXXX of XX/XX/XXXX. Thank you.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early

Consumer Complaint: I had a lease with Ally Financial for a XXXX XXXX XXXX vehicle in which I have had leases with the organization before. I paid every payment. Though paid on time, there were some late fees applied because it was still after their grace period. I ask the company if the will remove ( waive ) all late fees applied as I have been a loyal customer. Also, I have had other vehicles with the organization with perfect paying history and never asked this before. Also, every lease that I have, I've returned the cars in with approximately 9 or 10,000 miles unused miles that I paid for on my lease. I returned the vehicle in immaculant condition always having it serviced with XXXX and having it once again serviced before the lease termination. Again, I asked if they will dismiss those fees as a loyalty courtesy. I even informed them, that I was getting another lease and would request for Ally as I would continue to do business with them. Well, today, I receive an alert from the credit bureaus with my credit scores decreased saying Ally has added a remarked to the credit bureaus saying-Full termination, balance owing. Now, I am extremely upset because I have had a descent rapport with this company, great paying history, paying the lease out and for them to report that remark damaging my credit, I am extremely upset and want that immediately removed. The company should have been reporting Full termination, obligation satisfied. How could they do this to a loyal customer and Ally did not even contact me prior to doing this. I just recieved this alert from the credit bureaus and I was floored. Also, I requested for Ally to finance my next vehicle and the company XXXX went through XXXX, which I was shocked and also extremely upset because they did not do what I requested which was to continue to do business with Ally. I have correspondences in regards to this to show I did make that request. I could be incorrect but this made me feel that this is why they did not remove the charges as I was told they would. Also, I am sure the company records the conversation between the customer and the represenatives as I called several times in regards to this matter. I ask them to go back to the last recorded call as the represenative inforrmed me that he would submit this request because I have been a loyal customer and the fees would be waived in 24 to 48 hours, he even thank me for being such a loyal customer. Ally is reporting Ally is showing a balance owed of {$260.00} on XXXX and reporting Full termination, balance owing on XXXX and XXXX.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Banking errors

Consumer Complaint: on XX/XX/XXXX shortly before midnight my Ally Bank checking account had a charge posted to it - pending - for {$1800.00} from " XXXX XXXX '' in XXXX, XXXX. It completely wiped out the money in my account. I called Ally Bank immediately and told various representatives about the fraudulent charge. They said they could not help me until it was posted. I asked that they put a fraud alert on my account and cancel the card which the charge came through. They said they would handle both. On XX/XX/XXXX when I checked my account in the morning, the charge was gone. And my new debit card arrived yesterday XX/XX/XXXX. But a short while ago my account was charged again {$1800.00} by " XXXX XXXX '' in XXXX, XXXX! And it posted! I called Ally Bank and asked how this could have happened - I have a new card, there was supposed to be a fraud alert on my account - it was a charge from the exact same scammer! My account is now hundreds of dollars below zero and Ally Bank says it needs to investigate the matter and they do not know when I will get my money back! This never should have happened a second time! I need urgent help please. Thank you

Date Received: 2018-05-02

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Unable to open an account

Consumer Complaint: I went through the process of opening an interest checking account with Ally Bank ( online ). Upon completing the application per their instructions I submitted my application # XXXX as well as mom 's # XXXX and was told I would hear from the bank in the next 3-5 days. I received a call from a banking representative XX/XX/2018 informing me that I had to unfreeze my credit with XXXX XXXX to run a credit check for me to be considered for a checking/savings account as per the " Patriot Act ''. I informed the bank that my credit was frozen for identity theft reasons and it would not be unfrozen. My issues are as follows 1 ) My personal and identifying information was given over to Ally Bank in good faith for the bank to maintain a fiduciary duty and that the bank nowhere throught the application process mentioned a credit check was necessary. 2 ) That a refusal to authorize a credit check is not a valid reason to deny someone a checking/savings account. 3 ) A fiduciary may not lie to its customer citing the " Patriot Act '' as the reason mandating a credit check. 4 ) A second representative ( XXXX ) also lied saying that the disclosure for the credit check was right on the online application which it is not. As a result I am left with providing personal information to a lending institution that did not have the right to deny a customer a checking/savings account for refusing a credit check. Based on the misleading statements about credit checks and what is on their online application as proper identification I do not wish to be an Ally customer but also wish for senior management to protect such personal information from any and all employees to prevent nefarious misuse thereof. I will not be part of an institution that goes outside of the regulations for reasons to deny a customer a checking/savings account. There needs to be upfront declarations for the need of a credit check in the initial stages of their online application process. I will now and forever feel compromised by Ally bank in regards to my personal information and was delt with in a dishonest manner in regards to the regulations as read to me by a representative of the CFPB.
