Customer service words don't count
In early March, I looked up CD rates on Bankrate.com and decided to open an account with GMAC at the APY of 2.95%.
A week later, I still did not see the money transferred between my accounts so I called customer service. After we found out that a mistake had happened with the account number, the information was corrected and the service agent told me that I would still get the same rate that I originally signed up for.
In April, I received a letter from GMAC listing an APY of 2.85%. When I called customer serivce again, I was told that the rates at the time of deposit apply. Makes sense. But why would the customer service agent promise the same rate on my first call mid March?
I got a runaround on that question. Since the lady I spoke to back then had not documented her words, I have a lower APY now and learned that if you need reliable information, communicate through paper...

Discrimination
I wish to file Four (4) complaints against GMAC Bank.
GMAC Bank has not given the same Equal Opportunity to open accounts and earn the higher interest rates they advertise on T.V. to all who apply. Thus I wish to also file complaints of False Advertising over Television against GMAC Bank due to this. AND I wish to file complaints against GMAC Bank for discriminating against me for having had to place a fraud alert on my credit reports by refusing to properly identify applicants effectively thus intentionally refusing accounts thus intentionally refusing to allow me to earn the higher interest rates advertised on television.
GMAC Bank has been advertising Higher Interest Rates over Television.
In May of 2008 I had applied to open a $1000.00 CD at the higher interest rate offered. GMAC Bank never called me on the account. I finally had to contact GMAC Bank to request information on opening the account. I was informed that they had received the information and they requested I fax a copy of my drivers license. Then GMAC bank requested I fax the Drivers License twelve more times. No one could ever tell me why they wanted so many copies of my drivers license, but no one would help me either. I finally called CHARTER Bank and CHARTER Bank verified me over the phone using information from my credit report and opened the CD at a lower interest rate.
After that I sent another application to open an account to GMAC Bank. And there was NO reply from GMAC Bank at all. I then in January of 2009 sent an application to open a savings account with GMAC Bank at the Higher Interest Rate advertised on television. I never heard from GMAC Bank even though I sent in a copy of my drivers license, a Bank Statement for a checking account which I had used to fund the new account, My most recent paystub giving my name address and social security number, Copy of a statement sent to me by CHARTER Bank on my IRA CD's that also gave my name address and social security number AND a copy of my most recent $100.00 US Savings Bond also giving my name address and social security number. When I called I was informed that they had received the application and $10.00 check and that they would be calling me in 4 to 5 days. I never received a call at all. Instead GMAC bank returned everything to me denying an account as not being able to identify me. GMAC Bank did not even try to identify me at all. I have sent all of that information and proof of identity to the Federal Reserve of Atlanta GA with complaint of discrimination in banking. GMAC bank has not even tried to verify me by calling me to verify with credit report info.
In 4 attempts to open accts I have only been called once by GMAC bank without helping me at all.
I sent a new application with identifying information to GMAC Bank in February of 2009. GMAC bank finally called me at my job and asked that I return the call. When I got home I called GMAC Bank new accounts. I was then asked to fax my drivers license more than once again. Upon my next call same day, February 9, 2009, I was told that by the girl that answered that she had opened many accounts that day for others who opened their accounts with even less than I had asked to open my account for. When I asked this girl why the discrimination against me? Why if GMAC Bank would open accounts for others but would not at all work with me or contact me to verify me; I asked why the discrimination against me? The girl replied to me, "I see you have a fraud alert placed on your credit file". And I told her that was no reason to discriminate against me. I asked to speak with a Manager. I was told that there was NO manager there or available and that she would take my information and have a manager call me on February 10, 2009. That call has never come in. GMAC bank then has discriminated against me because I have had to place fraud alerts on my credit reports thus using this to refuse to identify those who apply for accounts as I am a prime example.
Thus GMAC bank, by not giving the same equal and fair opportunity to bank services, fails everyone.

Customer Service
I had switched my online savings to GMAC a few months ago since they had a high rate (comparatively). When conducting an online transfer, I got an error message from the website stating to call. I called and the person was very friendly and assisted me in making the 10k transfer out of my checking.
2 days later, I find out that they processed the transfer twice - taking 20k out of my checking. This unauthorized transfer of funds put me in the red with my checking. When I called them to request they transfer the money back, they stated they had no record of any issue with the website or any error messages and that they could not put the money back. I would have to do a regular transfer that takes 3-5 business days. They also had a wire service that I could use that would transfer the money in one day, but they would charge me a fee for it.
I am now charged a fee from my checking account for insufficient funds.
I tried to close out my account with GMAC due to this debacle, and so I transferred the account balance back into my checking. Apparently GMAC didn't know enough about banking to know that the extra 10k they tried to take from me would be rejected by my checking account, therefore making the GMAC balance that I was trying to retrieve incorrect. Now when the transfer goes from GMAC to my checking, I will have insufficient funds with GMAC. They then will have to take more money out of my checking to cover this.
My complaint is the following: Why don't the people who work at this bank's customer service department who have authorization to move money into their bank have no knowledge of finance or banking?
Should people with no knowledge in this area be allowed to touch peoples' money? Should they be allowed to engage in unauthorized transactions with no repercussions? Should they be allowed to charge fees for their own incompetence?
Apparently the answers to all these questions is YES. this is bad business and I will never use GMAC again. This is the worst experience I have ever had with a bank and I would advise anyone thinking of opening an account or keeping an account with them to think again.
