ally-logoAlly Financial, one of the nation’s financial service leaders, is currently under investigation for possible securities violations that occurred between April 2014 to the present day.

The Ally Financial securities class action lawsuit investigation encourages shareholders who purchased Ally stock within the past year to join a class action lawsuit in effort to recoup financial losses that may have occurred due to investment fraud.

Ally Financial services millions of customers worldwide for a variety of financial needs including: business financing, auto loans, online banking, insurance and mortgage financing. 

What is Securities Fraud?

One of the most common securities fraud violations occurs when a company uses fraudulent statements with the sale of stocks, bonds and notes by withholding financial information from the stockholder simulating a raise of stock worth.

Insider trading is another form of securities fraud and takes place when a individual uses inside information of a company when deciding to buy or sell shares.

Churning is another securities violation and occurs when a stockbroker excessively trades shares in a customer’s account in order to bring about a high sales commission for that broker. Malpractice (brokering without a licenses) and unauthorized trading (trading without permission of the stockholder) are other forms of securities fraud.

The U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) has enacted heavy regulation regarding securities violations in an effort to protect shareholders. Penalties for securities fraud range from fines to jail time and violators may also be required to compensate victims for their financial loss.

An Ally Financial class action lawsuit investigation has been launched after allegations of misconduct over the company’s stock exchange.

Ally Financial Securities Fraud

Ally Financial has been under scrutiny in recent years for securities fraud. In 2013, Ally Financial settled with the Federal Deposit Insurance Corp. (FDIC) and Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA) after claims of selling defective mortgage-backed securities to other banks that ultimately failed. Ally agreed to pay $55.3 million to the FDIC and $475 million to the FHFA. 

Recent securities class action lawsuits are investigating numerous additional claims of securities fraud against the large bank-holding company.

Last year, Ally Financial reported $151.8 billion in assets for the fiscal year.

Securities Lawsuits

Shareholders lose billions of dollars each year because of securities fraud. Often times, individuals don’t have the resources to face a large company like Ally on their own so they decide to join a securities class action lawsuit. With a class action lawsuit, investors unite in an effort to recoup financial losses due to the fraudulent practices of the company.

If you made Ally stock purchases between April 2014 and today, you may be able to join a class action lawsuit. There’s no cost to becoming a class member and if the class action lawsuit results in a settlement each member will be compensated.

Securities fraud attorneys are looking for class members to participate in this Ally Financial class action lawsuit investigation. Class members can participate even if you’ve sold your stock as long as you purchased it within the class period, which begins in April 2014 to the present day.
