Issue: Problem when making payments — Problem during payment process
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (FL)

I recently applied and was approved for a credit card through Ally bank. Im building my credit up and am attempting to make purchases and immediately pay the purchases off. Ally bank refuses to allow me to make more than 4 payments to the card a month, which was forcing me to roll a balance over each month. After attempting to make a 5th payment online and through the phone, my account was locked by Ally without them notifying me. I only noticed when I wasnt able to log in anymore. I was not notified of this. When I called about it, they wanted me to verify my payment method by requesting my bank send them proof of account standing for the payment method. My bills for this account were electronically delivered to my web account, which means I never received my bill due to not being able to log in to the account. The telephone representatives gave conflicting information on how I could resolve paying the balance and closing the account. Some said I had to mail the payment in and could not pay over the phone ( do not have a statement with mailing address to mail a payment ), others said I could pay over the phone using the bank account that they had stated required verification from the bank ( again, conflicting information ). I finally was able to make my final payment over the phone today, XX/XX/2023, and was able to close the account on the same phone call ( or so they claim ). Ill be keeping an eye out on the account closure, but am concerned about the predatory payment practices of credit card. Why am I restricted to only 4 payments a month. And when I make more payments, why is it so difficult to verify a payment method? This seems predatory and as though Ally is doing everything possible to make paying off a credit card difficult to ensure you carry a balance that has a high interest rate.
