Complaint sub-issue: Information belongs to someone else

As of XX/XX/2021 I have attempted over XXXX times, over several months to remove fraudulent accounts on my consumer report related to identity theft. Your company has willfully neglected to comply with federal law and are in clear violation of 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2- Block information resulting from identity theft. Your agencies individual policy doesnt supersede federal law. The law says, in a case of identity theft a consumer must provide a 1. FTC Identity Theft Report 2. Identification 3. Confirmation from the consumer that said accounts resulted from identity theft and that one doesnt assume or accept responsibility. The following statement is directly from a government website bonded by the United States Government via consumer.ftc.gov : If someone steals your identity, you have the right to remove fraudulent information from your credit report. This is called blocking. Once the information is blocked, it wont show up on your credit report, and companies cant try to collect the debt from you. If you have an FTC Identity Theft Report, credit bureaus must honor your request to block this information. I indeed provided these items several times and sent said documents with notary certification. I have provided once again another FTC Identity Theft Report along with identification and a statement confirming these accounts resulted from identity theft. 

The account related to identity theft is : XXXX XXXX XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Having problems with customer service

This is/was a ParentPlus student loan for my daughter, apparently in my name, from approx. 2012 & financed through XXXX XXXX. My daughter ended up on academic probation for XXXX semesters, during which we paid interest on the loan. ( I believe this must 've triggered some automated 'loan is in repayment ' mode. ) When she was reinstated, all loans went back into deferment. Allied Interstate called me about this loan once approx. 2 years ago, and I explained the probation/deferment situation. I understood this to be the end of the problem. I heard no more until XXXX of this year, when I got a notice from my employer about garnishment! It 'd been sent to default erroneously, a month before my daughter even graduated! I contacted Allied, & was given different numbers, amounts, and instructions each time- but no one could tell me any of the specifics of the original loan so that I could provide proof of deferment. I finally got it escalated to a manager who was able to tell me the amount of the original loan. Through a great deal of research, my kid was able to find the detailed evidence we needed on her student portal. I faxed this proof in as instructed, 2 1/2 months ago. Despite my sending proof and several follow-up requests, I 've yet to hear back or see my paycheck restored. When I call, they tell me to call the Dept. of Ed. ( When I call DoE, they say talk to Allied! ) Meanwhile, I 'm left without the funds to cover my XXXX, as they are taking out {$600.00} every month. Loan Ref. # XXXX

Complaint sub-issue: Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged

This is an attempt to collect a disputed insurance co-payment of some {$320.00} for a health care provider who never saw me after having ordered an expensive, unnecessary XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and whose office refused to explain his absence. I did engage in a monthly payment plan directly with the provider at first, but then my internist said I did not need such a test. I have contacted the debt collector to explain that I dispute having such obligation, that the charge was largely already covered by my health insurance, and that I would engage counsel to pursue the XXXX who filed this collection claim, for medical negligence. They continue to pursue me by impersonating a law firm with official looking letterhead and legalese and threatening negative reporting to the credit bureau which they say will result in adverse information on my credit for seven years. This is clearly in violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Complaint sub-issue: Account status incorrect

I am XXXX XXXX military personnel, I have my money deposited for my loan to be paid and XXXX is to take the money out as scheduled on the XXXX and XXXX of each month. The money just sits in the account to be drafted on the specific date scheduled. I have spoke with representatives that are extremely rude, I have also tried to speak to a manager and the leadership refuses to speak with me as well. XXXX takes the money out 3-5 days later when the account is lower than the loan amount and then reports to my credit the loan is being neglected which has taken my credit score down 70 points. As a military personnel I am unable to always call as to why my account is authorized for auto draft. These false reports is causing my superiors to be alarmed thinking I have a failure to maintain financial responsibility. I need someone to please assist me so I can continue to do my job in protecting our country with a clear state of mind.

Complaint sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

I reported a collection account on my consumer report that is a fraudulent account to Equifax. The collection agency sent me documents that obtained my name but my signature was forged. They denied the block because I didn't put the correct amount. I found out that the amount XXXX XXXX is trying to collect is different than the amount that is on the bill. By law when a consumer reports an account as fraud, the consumer reporting agency is supposed to block and delete that information from the consumer 's report. 15 U.S. Code 1681c2. Although Equifax has the right to not block the information, they denied the block due to information the collection provided which was a different amount that I was unaware of.
Complaint sub-issue: Deposits and withdrawals

There are 2 complaints for Ally Bank. 
COMPLAINT 1 On XX/XX/22 I mailed a deposit to Ally. This is a normal monthly occurrence. On XX/XX/22 I received a call from Ally asking me for sensitive account information as there was a problem with the account. ( This is the basis for the 2nd complaint described below ). 

I refused to give the requested info and then called Ally on their XXXX number. 

The problem is Ally could not read the account number on the check I had mailed them and could not deposit it into my account. On a conversation on XX/XX/22 I read the Ally rep the account number. I was assured this would clear up the problem. 

As of XX/XX/22, at the time of this complaint filing, the check has not been deposited to my account and there has been no communication from Ally as to its status. 

I need the check deposited or returned to me. 

COMPLAINT 2 This complaint deals with the method in which Ally contacted me. The initial call from Ally ( XX/XX/22 ) sounded like a " phishing '' call. The rep said there was a problem with my a/c but I would have to provide sensitive info to identify myself. That is always a warning. 

Later that day Ally sent me an email to my XXXX account asking me to contact them. 

When you call Ally there are inordinate wait times to reach a representative. On XX/XX/22 I called at XXXX and had a wait time of XXXX minutes before getting disconnected. I call again later and had a wait time of XXXX hr and XXXX minutes. This was the call that I was told the matter would be cleared up. 

Ally has a secure web site with a " chat '' button. When clicking it over numerous days it did not work. 

Also on the Ally website there is a " secure message '' feature. I used that secure message feature and have sent Ally 3 messages ( XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX ) regarding this matter. Notwithstanding there website claim of responding to these messages within XXXX days, I have yet to be contacted by Ally on this matter. 

In summary, Ally engages in a dangerous " phishing call '' making people feel confident in giving sensitive account info on a phone line to a stranger. Ally has available a secured messaging system to do the same thing but does not initiate contact with the customer using this method nor do they reply to customers that use it. Ally does not allow users to converse via secure chat even though they have a chat button on their website. Ally does not provide a fast and secure method that allow customers to communicate with the bank for problems such as these.

I have disputed the student loan account with Equifax for several attempts, to no avail.
