Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Today I contacted Ally Bank to find out why I can't log in so I was connected to the fraud department. I gave them all my answers correctly to verify my account and they rep said that he couldn't verify me. So I was trying to digging more information and I said to him why not I gave you all my information. He wanted to know more about xx and xx (deposits coming under names) so I said they were paypal tutoring services for my students. He said to email him a few documents (license, utility bill and social). Have you had this problem before?

Ally Bank has not been good for stealth for a LONG TIME! When looking for a bank, search the forums. You will find several that have no issues with mismatched names. Ally is no longer one of them. They WERE a good bank for stealth at one time, but they no longer are and have not been for quite awhile.

Ally VBA has been a bit problematic lately too.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

What is ally VBA - Virtual Bank Account? Or did you mean something else. I didn't know that Ally still had VBA's???

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Gmac shows as Ally

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Looks something like this on Paypal:
ALLY BANK x-0957

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Yes. I looks like x-0057.
What should I do?
Am I in trouble? I have 8 year daughter to take care of.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

I would just get another bank and eliminate the issue altogether.

Trouble for what?

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

just add a different bank.Big name banks like Chase, Bank of America. I have had success with TD as well (think i read some people having problems with it, but works great for me). HSBC's customer service sucks but they never gave me a problem with mismatched names.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Chase is no good.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

So I can't get the money in the bank. I probably have about $200.00 - $300.00.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Why?
One of the banks with no issues with mismatched names.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

They closed all my accounts a few years ago because of mismatched names and left me stranded with no money for three weeks. That was fun.

Breaktheycle2,
Did you had to submit your licen, etc? Did you get it re-opened?

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Open business accounts. Eliminates 95% of the problems.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Sorry, that comment was in reference to my Chase accounts, not Ally.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

So Breakthecycle2, did you get your banks account back with Chase?

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Should I just forward the documents they are asking for?

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

No. They didn't want to do business with me. Google "chase closed my account" and you will see hundreds of people complaining this happened.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Who has said that?

You need to deal with the Fraud Dept.

Send what they want and be up front.


Choose your banks more carefully in future.

Hi GreenBean,

Thanks for joining in. I chose Ally when I joined the board based on the reviews that it was good a while ago. I know that nothing is guarantee to work but I will send what they want. The account is on my name so I'm hoping for the best.

Re: Ally Bank Disable My Account Because Different Names
 

Can anyone suggest other banks that are "friendly" toward deposit names not matching aside from HSBC? Thanks!!!!
