I applied for an Ally Bank online savings account on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and transferred, via ACH, {$1000.00}. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I logged on and the screen informed me the account was blocked. I called and was assigned Loss Prevention Specialist XXXX XXXX XXXX. I was told to provide copies of an original social security card, recent mail to my address and a state issued photo id. I supplied a copy of my passport, which expired in XXXX XXXX, plus the other XXXX items requested. I am not going to renew my passport until my hair and eyebrows grow back. I am not planning on making any foreign trips, nor even getting on an airplane for a while. My XXXX make getting my drivers license problematic for the foreseeable future. 
I was informed that the passport was not acceptable since it had expired and I had to provide a " state '' photo id. I asked for an alternative, such as providing a notarized affidavit or something similar. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX, late in the evening, XXXX XXXX told me I could not get my opening deposit back either. I specifically asked for the opening deposit to be sent back the way it came. I am sure the transaction shows the routing & accounting numbers of my account at XXXX. She said that was not going to happen. She asked if I wanted to speak with her supervisor. 
XXXX XXXX called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX and left a message for me to call her. I called her back the next day and left a message as XXXX XXXX works an XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX shift. I asked for our communication to be via email or USPS mail going forward so there would be a documentation trail. I also mentioned that I would like for someone to handle this matter for me and asked where I send a power of attorney or how to handle designating a proxy for me. XXXX XXXX left another message for me to call her on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. 
I mailed a complaint letter to the CEO, XXXX XXXX XXXX on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I have not heard anything as a result, nor do I expect to. I have since taken the opportunity to read the complaints about Ally online and regret not doing my homework beforehand.
