Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Incorrect information on your report — Account information incorrect
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: NC

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to file a complaint against Ally Financial Bank regarding the mishandling of my loan payments. I have been a customer of Ally Financial Bank for several years and have always made my payments on time. However, in the past few months, I have encountered several issues with the way my payments have been handled. 

Firstly, I noticed that Ally Financial Bank has been reporting incorrect payment amounts to the credit bureaus. Despite making my payments in full and on time, my credit report shows that I have missed payments or made partial payments. This has resulted in a negative impact on my credit score and has caused me great distress. 

Secondly, I have made overpayments towards my loan balance, but Ally Financial Bank has not applied the excess amount to my principal. Instead, the bank has applied the overpayment towards future payments, resulting in interest accruing on the balance unnecessarily. This is an unfair and unjust practice, and I demand that the excess amount be applied towards my principal balance as soon as possible. 

I have attempted to resolve these issues by contacting Ally Financial Bank 's customer service department, but I have not received a satisfactory response. Therefore, I am filing this complaint with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ) to seek assistance in resolving these issues. 

I request that the CFPB investigate this matter thoroughly and take appropriate action against Ally Financial Bank for the mishandling of my loan payments. I also request that the bank correct the reporting of my payment history and apply the overpayment to my principal balance as soon as possible. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Company: MoneyLion Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
My identity was stolen to create the Money Lion account. The day the account was initiated I received a call from an XXXX number telling me they were from my XXXX fraud department, that someone had tried to use my debit for a transaction in XXXX, and that they stopped the transaction and my card would be canceled. They also said not to utilize my online banking system for XXXX hours. That evening I also received an email alert from a paid credit monitoring service alerting me that there was an account opened using my personal information. They provided the contact information for the company ( Money Lion ) that extended the loan. I checked my bank account the following day before I called the Money Lion company and found large sums of money had been moved from my savings to my checking account and payment had been sent to this Money Lion company. I immediately called my bank to freeze my accounts, then proceeded to call Money Lion to let them know I did not authorize or request money or a line of credit with them. They said they would open an investigation. I requested a copy of the contract and asked how they verified the identity to open the account. They sent me a copy of the agreement but there was no identification verification used and they used an electronic signature. They told me their investigation determined the account was legitimate although I never used or received a dime from them. I filed a police report with XXXX Police Department detailing the identity theft and the fraudulent account. I closed my bank accounts because somehow this Money Lion company had accessed my checking account and social security number. The police report was inconclusive and the case was eventually closed with the explanation that internet fraud and identity theft are most often hard to prosecute because the perpetrators are elusive.
