Issue: Deposits and withdrawals

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: This is an urgent complaint against Ally Bank. I had an IRA ( traditional retirement account ) certificate of deposit ( CD ) with Ally Bank. It came due last month. Ally Bank has confirmed that it closed my IRA-CD on its maturity date last month per routine and correct prodedures. But Ally has not -- and will not -- return my IRA money to me. I have contacted Ally Bank customer service many times, spoken to many people. They can provide me with no evidence that a check was sent to me. They stall, give excuses, refer me to other people in customer service who do n't know how to resolve this. I AM REQUIRED BY IRS to rollover these funds into another traditional IRA asap. Otherwise, I will face tax consequences -- IRS will consider this a distribution instead of a rollover and make me pay income taxes. I have signed forms at Ally Bank saying that this is a ROLLOVER. No one at Ally Bank seems to understand the urgency of this situation. I have requested repeatedly to speak with the expedite dept, the loss prevention dept, the fraud department, the corporate office, etc. at Ally Bank. No one at Ally Bank customer service will allow me to speak with anyone with authority to resolve the problem and find where my retirement funds are. I am shocked that a bank will not return a customer 's money upon the maturity of a CD. I wonder if a bank employee has stolen my IRA money, as Ally Bank can not find the funds. Time is of the essence. PLEASE HELP!!!

Consumer Complaint: We have received phone calls to our business from Ally Financial ph # XXXX repeatedly for two weeks and every time I pick up, they hang up on me.

Issue: Account opening, closing, or management

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I recently moved to a new city, and opened an online bank account with Ally Bank. The account application and setup process went smoothly, and after completing the application, i received email notification that my " Ally bank account is open ''. I then began transferring money and depositing checks into the Ally bank account. As soon as I deposited my last check, and essentially put every dollar I have into this new " open '' account, I was locked out of the account, with no warning, no explanation, and without even being able to access any of the account details, such as the account number, or any other relevant information. I was directed to call a fraud hotline, which is not a 24 hour line, and I spent the next two days frantically trying to reach someone from Ally who could help, while three different support staff members ignored my pleas for help and redirected my questions to people who were unavailable. Finally a member of the fraud team explained that I needed to provide proof of address and told me I could send a phone bill. I understand the need to verify my address, but I do not understand why I was not warned BEFORE i deposited my funds, that this would be necessary. I have essentially locked myself out of all the money I have, I am in a new city, and have no way to undo anything because I ca n't access the account at all, the checks are deposited and the transfer is made. How is it possible for me to deposit funds into an unverified account, without being made aware that these monies will be unavailable for up to a month, until I receive a utility in my name at the new address? How could there not have been a warning alerting me to the possibility that any money i put into the account would be locked and unavailable indefinitely? At this point I am afraid I will never see the money again and I want nothing more than the close the account and start a new account with a different bank. But before I do so, I want to know that Ally is not still accepting funds into unguaranteed accounts.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I requested a XXXX month deferment on XXXX/XXXX/15 because I was in between jobs and was going to receive a short check. I paid the {$99.00} that was required to activate the extension on XXXX, and received a letter shortly after stating the extension was approved & my next payment is n't due until XXXX. I started receving collections calls a few days after regarding the unpaid amount. I explained my extension & was told a request/followup will be sent to the extension dpt & my account should reflect accordingly. Well, that did n't happend & I kept receiving calls ( about XXXX in one month ). Up until today XXXX I have called XXXX times to get this matter resolved & each time I get the response " we will send this to the ext dpt for review '' It is now OVER a month after I initially requested the extension, and my bill is due today & the extension is STILL not reflected even after XXXX different requests have been submitted. I spoke with a supervisor today, XXXX, who says the system thought the extension was for XXXX & not XXXX & that 's why the letter had my next due date for XXXX but everytime I spoke with a rep they seemed to know my extension request was for XXXX. She said she will also send a followup, and I asked for something in writing that reflects the correct dates my payments are due. I do n't have a problem paying the amount due in XXXX but I do n't think it is fair since ally did n't get it right the first time, and I should n't be penalized for a " system error '' when going off the due date I have in writing from the company.
