Consumer Narrative

Where do I start. On XX/XX/2022 Ally Bank Opened a Fraudulent Checking and Savings account. These account 's were not verified and I did not sign any account opening documents. Ally did not contact me to verify it was me opening these account 's and Ally did not send me a debit card or any account related documents, I have not received any financial transactions from these account 's. Then I further learn based on XXXX that Ally opened another checking account in XX/XX/2022. Again Fraudulent, and did not verify it was not me opening these account 's. These were opened by an identity thief and I did not receive any financial data or account related documents or items for these account 's. I find it interesting that I never received a debit card, checks nothing for these account 's Which I also reported to this company. On XX/XX/2022 These account 's were closed due to fraud. By me. Later I have learned that after the account 's were fully closed Ally Decided it was a good idea to go ahead and reopen the account 's once again not notifying me of this information. I received one letter dated XX/XX/2022 In this letter it says Here is a summary of the dispute ( Again no disputes were submitted ) In this letter it goes on to Falsely accuse me of having a relationship with this merchant of fraudulent transactions. Again, I am not sure where Ally is gaining their evidence but nothing has been provided to back their false accusations. It says this merchant is XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX TX this is the first time I have ever received a piece of mail from this company. In their reason for decline it says We've concluded that no error has occurred and is considered authorized the disputed transaction was completed with a merchant with whom you have an established relationship. Again FALSE Accusations and incorrect information. Ally has not provided any documentation to back their false accusations. I then received a letter from Ally proceeding to tell me that I owe them {$4600.00} and that the account was reopened. Again all of their reason based on that letter was I have established a relationship with a MERCHANT IN ANOTHER STATE without proof, and AGAIN without a single debit card being received for these fraudulent account 's. I am a victim of Identity Theft and Ally is falsely accusing victims. Ally is also falsely and fraudulently conducting activity and stating I have an established relationship with these merchants when I haven't ever visited a single merchant that they listed. I do not believe they conducted any investigation and the actions being taken on the fraudulent account by closing and then reopening and then falsely accusing someone who didn't even receive a single debit card without proof seems like shady business and not how a financial instituion should be conducting conduct.
