Issue: Getting a credit card — Delay in processing application
Company: Synovus Bank
State: CT

Complaint narrative:
I signed up for a First Progress credit card and I paid an Extra {$20.00} to have my application expedited. My application required more documentation, but they had already taken my {$2000.00} deposit. I called First Progress back, after 6 days inquiring about my application and was told the department that reviews my documents have too much work and are behind and there's no time frame when my review will be completed. Given the fact I paid for expedited processing and the lack of information I was given about my application, I requested to have my application withdrawn. I requested my money be refunded. The very next day the {$20.00} expedited fee was refunded. Now, 10 days after that, I still haven't received my deposit refund. I call First Progress and explain to them the situation. I was told my refund should have already been sent back to my bank account. They said I would then have to wait for a CHECK IN THE MAIL WHICH TAKES 30 DAYS to get my refund. Given the total time from start to finish, it's been a little over 2 weeks my money has been tied up with this company. I refused to wait an additional 30 days for my money. This is interfering with my bills which are going to be past due because I've been out {$2000.00} for this long!!

Complaint narrative:
The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of TILA US Code 1666B since I was never late. " I recently reviewed my consumer report and noticed an incorrect late payment record. I have always maintained timely payments on this account. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act ( FCBA ) and the Truth in Lending Act ( TILA ), creditors are required to accurately report consumer transactions and provide a mechanism for correcting errors in a timely manner. Please conduct an investigation into this matter, and if you can not provide documentary evidence of these supposed late payments, I demand these payments to be updated to on time as they should be as I was NEVER late. I expect these updates to be made promptly, in compliance with the law.

Complaint narrative:
The glaring absence of concrete evidence to support its reliability, combined with the dissemination of unverified information, represents a clear violation of the statutory requirements outlined in XXXX USC XXXXi ( 7 ). This lack of compliance is not only troubling but also deeply frustrating, given the critical importance of adhering to legal obligations. 

Therefore, I strongly advocate for the immediate removal of this account in accordance with the specified regulations, unless verifiable evidence is promptly provided to establish its authenticity. Any delay in addressing this issue exacerbates the frustration caused by the apparent disregard for regulatory protocols and the legal standards that ensure fairness and accuracy.

Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease — Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, my company contacted Ally Financial to obtain a payoff amount for our vehicle loan. We were provided a payoff of {$19000.00}, and on XX/XX/year>, we initiated a payment via ACH push from our financial institution to satisfy the loan in full. This payment required external authorization from our bank before release, meaning funds were guaranteed and could not be reversed or returned. 

On XX/XX/year> at XXXX XXXX, after confirming that funds had cleared and Ally had received payment, I called Allys customer service line to request the lien release. I explained the urgency of the situation, as I have a legal obligation requiring the lien release immediately. The service agent assured me that the lien release would be provided by the end of the day on XX/XX/year>. 

Later that same day, after spending over an hour on the phone, I was informed by a senior supervisor that Ally enforces a XXXX hold policy on lien releases for non-certified payments. This XXXX hold policy was never disclosed in my loan agreement or during any prior interactions with Ally. It was not mentioned when I requested the payoff amount, nor when I initially called to request the lien release after submitting payment. It was only brought to my attention after Ally received the funds and I followed up, creating an unexpected and unreasonable delay. They stated this policy exists in case funds are returned due to insufficient funds or other issues. However, this reasoning does not apply to my situation because : The payment was a push ACH initiated from my financial institution, not a pre-authorized pull from Ally. 
Funds were externally authorized and guaranteed by my bank prior to release.

Payment had already posted and cleared in Allys system at the time of my call.

I emphasized the urgency of the matter and requested escalation or an exception to the policy. I was told a ticket would need to be opened with their back office, and even then, it could take 2 additional business days. This delay is unacceptable given that Ally has confirmed receipt of guaranteed funds, and there is no legal or regulatory requirement for this hold... only an internal policy.

I am now unable to fulfill my legal obligation to transfer the vehicle due to Allys refusal to release the lien in a timely manner, despite payment in full and confirmation of cleared funds.
