Product: Checking or savings account — Savings account
Issue: Opening an account — Account opened as a result of fraud
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Ally Bank opened a fraudulent checking and savings account on XX/XX/XXXX. Ally Bank authorized these accounts without my consent. Ally Bank allowed an email address ( XXXX, XXXX ) to be used to open these accounts. Ally Bank did not message me nor provide any documentation letting me know of such. Ally Bank did not clear my fraud victim statements before opening these accounts either. Ally Bank sent a debit card to some other individual, after I didnt sign any application. I never received any documentation or cards for said accounts. Ally bank proceeded to allow charges and deposits to the accounts that do not match my employment past or present and do not match any merchants Ive ever visited. Ally Bank advised they closed these accounts for fraud on XX/XX/XXXX and then again Ally reopened the accounts and proceeded to charge over {$4700.00}. ally bank assumes I am responsible for fraudulent charges caused by an identity thief. Ally bank has not investigated this issue and instead stated they sent documentation to some person named XXXX XXXX not sure whom that is but it isnt me. Again, I have provided Ally Bank with an FTC identity theft affidavit. This affidavit is valid and Ally By law must investigate these accounts, or provide documentation proof I signed any documentation. I havent signed anything for this company and I do not owe the balance they fraudulently charged said accounts either. The account application was fraud and is fraud. Ally Bank needs to properly investigate.

Specifically, the reported " Not more than two payments past due '' status and associated late payments inaccurately represent my understanding of the account 's payment history. Furthermore, the reported balance and past due amount appear inconsistent with my knowledge of the account 's financial activity. 

I wish to emphasize the significance of the FCRA, particularly the following sections : 15 U.S.C 1681 Section 602 A : This section underscores my right to privacy and the importance of accurate credit reporting.

15 U.S.C 1681 Section 604 A Section 2 : This provision establishes that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish an account without obtaining my written instructions.

15 U.S.C 1692C : This clause emphasizes the requirement of my prior consent for any communication from a debt collector. 
In light of these legal mandates and the disparities noted in the account reporting, I formally request a thorough investigation into this matter. I expect XXXX to diligently address the discrepancies, rectify the inaccuracies, and ensure the reporting aligns with the principles stipulated in the FCRA. 

Furthermore, I assert my right to cease all communication tactics related to this account. I anticipate no further communication attempts from any parties involved, including debt collectors.

Your swift attention to and resolution of this dispute are greatly valued. I anticipate your dedicated efforts in addressing this matter and upholding accurate and equitable credit reporting. Thank you for your cooperation and commitment to the fundamental tenets of the FCRA.
