Consumer Complaint: My Husband and I have a joined account and I notice that we had a XXXX transaction that we did n't recognize. We both called Ally Bank and explain the issue. The representative took both of our information and said that she did see anything on our new banking cards, she ask if we had lost or a card stolen my husband replied yes last XX/XX/XXXX ( lost but found a day later in the house ) the same day he notice his card missing he call and had it cancelled then the next day he cut up the card. The rep told him that this account may have still been active because he had a automatic payment attach to the account. My husband told her that it was for waste management and that that was in correct because that card was cancelled and put on the new card. But some how we still have money coming out of our account that they refuse to give back. but it 's not coming from the ATM cards we have now. They offered to give us new cards but not set up a new account. What should I do and we are 15 day from XXXX? Note I called the address on my bank statement where the money was said to be spent and it 's a day care in XXXX XXXX OH. and the XXXX in XXXX NJ

Consumer Complaint: Hello - I write this in the hopes it helps others. We have had several CD 's with Ally Bank dating back to XXXX, totaling approximately $ XXXX. Recently, we asked Ally to deposit $ XXXX out of maturing CDs into our XXXX XXXX XXXX account. These funds are needed for our beginning retirement XXXX XXXX, XXXX, so the funds are important to us. Today was the first day a deposit would be received. Much to our surprise, instead of depositing {$7400.00} into our XXXX checking account, they withdrew {$7400.00} from our checking account ( without authorization I might add ), overdrawing our account by {$5900.00}! I am appalled and shocked such a mistake would take place. In calling Ally Bank today, they acknowledged the mistake, but clearly did not understand nor have a sense of urgency to fix it. This is no small error. The representative on the phone stated they could wire the funds back to the account, but we would be charged a wire fee of {$20.00}, and need to set up a wire transfer in our own account. Really? They make the mistake, overdraw our account thousands of dollars, and we pay a fee and have to go through a laborious process to get our own money back?? Let me get this straight. I was originally supposed to be deposited {$7400.00}, now I am out a total of {$14000.00} as funds were inadvertently debited in error. At the time of this writing, I am still speaking to a supervisor. I 've been on and off hold XXXX to 12 times as we research, change profiles, update profiles, research some more, try to figure out how to wire ... XXXX Now I am being told the transaction is " in limbo ''. After two hours of being on the phone, I have had to set up a wire transfer myself, and told " we will waive the {$20.00} fee due to the error ''. Apparently, this XXXX dollar company does n't have a clearing account to swiftly right a wrong. The onus is on the consumer. At the end of the day, the measly amount we get for interest is n't worth the stress and angst this has caused us. We are through with Ally Bank.

Consumer Complaint: I set up a permanent recurring online transfer, once every six months between Ally Bank and an external account without limiting it to a number of transfers or an end date. I received an email alert stating the following : " Ally Bank Alert Ally Hello, XXXX XXXX There 's only one more scheduled transfer for your recurring plan. Amount : {$0.00} From : Ally Bank, Checking To : XXXX " Ally Bank refused to contact me with follow up information and demanded instead that I contact them repeatedly until they figure out the issue. This bank has made repeated egregious errors which I have previously reported to the CFPB and has demonstrated a consistent inability and unwillingness to address or resolve them.

Consumer Complaint: Approximately 18 months ago, my wife and I returned a vehicle to Ally Financial ( " Ally '' ) at the end of the lease term. The vehicle, a XXXX XXXX XXXX, was found to have a few minor dings, for which Ally charged us roughly {$1100.00} for the alleged cost of the repair. I contacted Ally and protested what I believed ( and still believe ) to be an extreme overcharge for such minor damage. After much back and forth, Ally agreed to reduce the amount owed to roughly {$700.00}, which I paid in XXXX XXXX. I subsequently received a letter from Ally stating that my account had a XXXX balance and that my " account with Ally has been settled and you are released from any and all obligations. '' Although it was never explained to me that me negotiating down the balance due on my account was a " settlement '' for purposes of credit reporting, Ally is now reporting this lease to the credit reporting agencies as having been settled for less than the full amount due. In hindsight, this was a clear strategy employed by Ally to deceive me with the intent of ultimately forcing me to pay the original account balance in order for them to stop reporting the lease as having been settled. It was ( and is ) clear to me that my negotiation with Ally reduced the balance due, which I paid in full ( and have a letter from them substantiating the XXXX balance ). Using these sorts of tactics, Ally could in theory charge a customer any amount they wanted to for any sort of fee and report a " settlement '' to the credit reporting agencies for anything paid that was less than the amount demanded.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2016 we went in to look at new vehicles. When we found the one we wanted, we explained that if they could not find financing within the 1st bank hit on our credit and within the correct finance charges we were willing to pay, that we would return the following day with our own financing once our bank opened the following morning. When we went into the financing office, they notified us they hit our credit score 3 times. I was furious! We decided to just go ahead with it. When we were about to sign off on the car, we noticed the interest rate was XXXX points higher than we had agreed to pay. We thanked them for their time, and were about to walk out when they had to adjust the selling price to get us approved by the bank at the lower interest rate. The next day I checked my credit report and noticed they had XXXX hard hits on my credit. I contacted the dealership and they said there was nothing they could do that sometimes their computer just keeps searching until it finds a bank to finance it. None of this is what we originally agreed upon. I had financing I could 've received from my bank the following day during bank hours but with it being the end of the month, I think the dealership was trying to hurry to close the deal and searched anywhere they could that late at night to get the deal done. I need these hard inquiries taken off of my record, because I never authorized them to go through XXXX of the XXXX banks, I only authorized them to go through XXXX
