I just happened across this and figured I would address it. There are 4 different credit reporting agencies in the US. Some companies use just one of them. Ally Bank checks at least two, to the best of my knowledge, as an additional security measure. If AmEx let you in that easily, that’s how easy it would be for a fraudulent application to go through. Ally needed to speak to you because they give a crud about security and fraud.

Or you could have an account with the guys that just make it easy.

@David: I have a very vivid imagination and way too much free time. When my mama gave birth to me the Dr. took one look at me and slapped her AND my father!!! I have oft times had illusions of grandeur about being a writer, everybody has, right? (I also have a recurring one where I’m recieving psychiatric therapy without ever seeking it! Oh, sorry, that’s in real life! I OFTEN have problems telling the difference but my TEAM of Drs. assure me that with a quarter century of cutting edge therapy along with intense shock treatments, I should reach the IQ level of a moron!!! Smile…)..Well, it’s nap time here at shady oaks, aka, ally bank…START THE THORAZINE DRIP BOYS, BEAM ME UP SCOTTIE!!!

I’m in the process of closing my account with Ally. I opened a savings account because they have higher interest rates. On January 14, Ally was supposed to send some items to me. It is now March 15 and I have not received them. When I contacted the online customer service, they wrote, “We’re behind in responding to our email.” A bank that cannot respond to customer requests is frightening. I immediately transferred all funds out of Ally to my old Savings Account. Now that anyone can open an account with USAA, I’d recommend going that route instead. I’ll be opening a new savings account with them ASAP.

Ouch on the 1099’s. I wonder what the deal is on that. Now THAT is a negative. Not the kid with the pony!

People who think that these commercials are somehow abusive or discriminatory or any of that are the same ones who think that all kids should get bumper stickers about school accomplishments, even if they are stupid, lazy and accomplish nothing but showing up– then they get jobs and work for me and they are stupid, lazy and just show up- and want to be paid.

As for the advertisements, only a morn would get this sociological nonsense out of them. They are merely telling the story that Ally makes you a better and more sensible fair deal than you are sued to from a bank. I just saw the “egg management fee” one and it is hilarious.

@David: You have a very vivid imagination and way too much free time, have you ever thought about becoming a writer? (or seeking psychiatric therapy)

For 2009 ALLY Bank submitted (12) different 1099-INT forms instead of (1) causing unnecessary paperwork in filing tax return & maintaining hard file as well as addtitional tax due cost. Supervisors at customer support cannot explain why they are the only bank that “will not be” submitting just (1) 1099-INT statement for all CD’s held at their bank

Nobody should trust a bank that thinks there’s a leap day in 2009, because 2009 is obviously not a leap year!!!!

Duh!

People complaining about the commercials……GET EFFIN OVER IT! DID I COMPLAIN WHEN THE GUYS IN THE NICE WHITE COATS DID A MEDIAL FRONTAL LOBOTOMY ON MYSELF? Obviously these “DRS” are PAID actors, and thats why they turn on the nice twirly red light on the nice white truck when they come and “get me” when I “forget” to take my meds! When I dont take the meds, the people in the white coats, “parents” have been allowing me to do this commercial! I think this has nothing at all to do with how they I run Ally bank! Yours truly, CEO/Janitor/Patient of ally banking!!!

Let me get this straight,
You’re angry because they declined you an account because they have strong security measures?

Pretty silly if you ask me.
