Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I reported {$72000.00} in unauthorized transactions on my Ally Bank account. Ally issued provisional credit while opening an investigation, but then froze my account entirely, denying me any access to my funds including those that are not in dispute. 

I have called Ally Bank multiple times, and each representative gives me a different explanation regarding my account and access to my funds. The only consistent response I get is that I can not access any of my funds until they complete their investigation. This is not only absurd, it is unacceptable, especially given that the funds were provisionally returned and are not currently being disputed.

I believe Allys actions violate the Electronic Fund Transfer Act ( EFTA ) and Regulation E, which protect consumers from exactly this type of situation where a bank withholds access to undisputed funds without a proper basis or consistent communication.

I have also attempted to transfer my funds to another bank account under my name, as I no longer trust Ally to safeguard my money after the original security breach. Yet, they continue to block me entirely, without explanation,
updates, or reasonable options.

I am formally requesting Immediate access to my funds.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXX/XX/XXXX I'm writing to dispute an account listed on my credit report from XXXX, account ending in XXXX. 

There are a few issues Id like to bring to your attention : The account is marked both as Open and a Paid Collection, which is inconsistent. 

The last activity and payment date ( XX/XX/XXXX ) seem outdated, yet the account was recently updated in XX/XX/XXXX, raising concerns of potential re-aging. 

It also still reports as derogatory and 120 days late, even though a settlement was accepted and the balance is {$0.00}. 

Because of these reporting errors, Im formally requesting that this account be investigated and either corrected or removed entirely from my credit report, in compliance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act. 

Please send me written confirmation of the results of your investigation. 


Thank you, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX

As of today, I have not received any responses or proof that they are doing proper investigation with my dispute. They ignored my rights to obtain an accurate credit report. They are non-compliant with the FCRA. These erroneous reports are badly hurting my credibility. I'm certain that my rights as a consumer protected under the law have been violated by this inaccurate information.
