Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Complaint: As of today XXXX XXXX, 2017 I am currently in debt to Ally financial for the sum of XXXX I admitted that because of my bankruptcy and other issues that have occurred hospital bills, etc I was unable to stick to the agreed upon amount initially, although I have been in contact with the lender the only option that I have to make payments was disabled and they are currently attempting to repossess the vehicle. I advised the supervisor last week the vehicle does not run nor is it driveable and I just wanted to resolve the issue so that I can clear my credit. I was advised they would continue repossession attempts and then the account would go to the charge off department if they could not collect since I did n't have the full amount. I called Ally financial today to inquire about the location of my loan the rep that I spoke with initially I am unaware of her name she became rude and irate stating that since I was refusing to give the car back they were going to take legal action. I explained to her that was not what I had been explained last week and I was not refusing anything the car did n't work anyways I just wanted to pay my debt I was transferred to the supervisor who was out until XX/XX/XXXX I then called back got XXXX who advised my account was in the legal department because I refused to surrender the vehicle I then explained to her over a period of five minutes from terminating the last call my account was moved none of this was making any sense to me I repeatedly asked her where the account was located currently she advised me the charge off option was not an option for m since I refused I then advised her again that I was not refusing anything I simply want to pay off the truck and try to work out this matter no I do n't have XXXX to hand over currently but all options for form of payment for me have been cut off by the provider I ca n't make an online payment with my debit card or anything. At this point I have to wait for the supervisor to come back or for my account to move on it 's on because no one is willing to accept my payments. Is this normal for a car that does not run for a creditor to be so rude and try to belittle you? I am only wanting to make payments but they are absolutely like payment in full or nothing. I do n't know if hey have followed the direct channels in this matter my account was not accessible through out this entire time period online for me to make payments and I only made two payments online because I was never told how to make payments online for bankruptcy individuals. I was only allowed to go to western union which is only accessible outside of my work hours. Please help me to resolve this matter or look into this matter so that other consumers do not get treated the way XXXX treated me.

Communication tactics

Debt collection: Auto debt

Frequent or repeated calls
Complaint: Several times Ally Financial has called me to collect on my past due auto loan. When I answer they hang up as I 'm saying " hello '' ( I answer typically after the 2nd or 3rd ring ). They are using the " deceptive '' tactic as a way to notate my account as " no response '' this has been going on for about 30 days. I have made payment arrangements via online and called to advise I have done so, and I 'm still receiving calls. As well when I contacted Ally in XXXX to make payment arrangements, inquire about assistance, and ask about they 're repossession policy the representatives as well we Supervisors refused to give me " clear & a straight forward '' responses. I am issuing a complaint of harassment against them. And would like it to be looked into

Complaint: I have a car loan through, '' Ally, '' and my regular payment is {$340.00}. My bill for XXXX was {$340.00} - which included a {$1.00} late fee. ( For a payment that WAS N'T late ) I mailed in a personal check for {$5300.00} and wrote, in bold letters, in the memo " XXXX toward principle. '' My payment was due on XXXX XXXX and the check cleared my account on XXXX XXXX. I received XXXX statement and it was for {$160.00}. I called Ally and asked " XXXX '' - Why are n't my payments the same amount? It should be the {$340.00} with the {$5000.00} applied towards principle. Are you trying to prolong the loan so you can collect more interest?! I was given the answer, " Well it was all applied towards principle. '' put on hold and transferred to someone who was not knowledgeable and proceeded to give me incorrect information. Such as my loan was " supposed to extend till XXXX '' and I had another late payment for XXXX XXXX which was paid early ) This is not the first time this has happened. I have paid extra towards the principle before and they applied it towards my monthly payments. Only sending me statements for 3 months for interest.

Getting a loan or lease

Vehicle loan or lease: Lease

Fraudulent loan
Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I leased a new XXXX XXXX XXXX from the dealer XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX located at the address XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, NJ XXXX. The lease company is Ally Financial. They said there will be XXXX downpayment, but I made {$3000.00} payment. Overall, I am overpaying for the car. I paid {$3000.00} downpayment plus the first month payment of {$600.00}. And my monthly payments are {$600.00} for 39 months. The dealer quotes the same car for other customers for around $ 400 monthly payments. So they charge me extra {$200.00} per month. I went to the dealer to ask why I am overpaying. Their reply was " you already knew that the payments will be {$600.00} ''. They didnt give a fair explanation why I was overpaying than other customers. I feel like they tricked me and made me pay a lot of money. Plus my credit score is excellent. It is not that I am overpaying because my credit score is bad. Please approach the company for a reasonable answer why I am overpaying for the lease. $ 600 monthly payments with {$3000.00} downpayment is a lot of money. They tricked me.

Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports: Credit reporting

Their investigation did not fix an error on your report
Complaint: Ally has intentionally reported an inaccurate charge off on my credit report even after I 've provided them with proof my car payments were deferred. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX, my car was declared a total loss due to the flooding in XXXX, TX which was declared a natural disaster. I 've even continued to make my monthly payment until I noticed the online portal displayed my next payment was n't due until XXXX XXXX took it a step further and decided to contact Ally to confirm this was correct. The rep reassured me that this was correct and not to worry about payments until XXXX. This is because my insurance company paid off XXXX but I was left with a remaining balance of about $ XXXX since I did n't have GAP coverage. I take full accountability for the amount owed! Months later, in XXXX XXXX, I started receiving calls that I needed to start making monthly payments immediately. I advised the rep that my payment were deferred and they stated that I was originally given the wrong information. I informed Ally that I 've taken on another car loan and could n't afford to pay on it at the moment but will pay what I can since my payment were technically deferred. No one from Ally has wanted to take accountability and accommodate me with what I was originally told. I 've even provided Ally proof of the information displayed on their website at the time and asked them to pull the calls. Ally has done nothing but advised me to contact the credit bureau to have the charge off removed. I 've last spoke with XXXX from Ally on XXXX XXXX, XXXX at XXXX. Her contact number is XXXX XXXX. We were trying to come to a payment agreement but unfortunately, I could n't afford to pay the large lump sum payment she requested. However, I did pay {$94.00} towards the balance. Even in this conversation, she told me to contact the credit bureaus to have them remove the charge off because nothing can be done on her end. Prior to contacting XXXX, I 've already submitted multiple disputes online. I 've even sent letters to each credit bureau via certified mail on XXXX XXXX, XXXX and they continue to leave the same remarks " Charge off, customer disputes after resolution, meets FCRA requirements. '' I 'm convinced the credit bureaus has n't even investigated this matter because the information is still being report inaccurately although I 've presented the credit bureaus and Ally with the burden of proof to justify my claim. Its sad because I was a loyal customer with Ally and never missed a payment before my car was totaled. Once this remaining balance is paid off, I will never use Ally and will likely spread the word of how this company operates unethically.

Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Complaint: I obtained my annual credit report XX/XX/XXXX. Upon reviewing I noticed I have 30+ inquiries that are affecting my score. I have been car shopping for the past few years but never would have thought this information would have been shared with whomever they wanted ... ... ... I will list these below. I first called XXXX today XX/XX/XXXX who gave me the protocol to request to have these inquiries removed. I then attempted to call the next group of creditors that had access some how to my report, XXXX-store cards?? I called and spoke with a rep who failed to tell me I was speaking with the fraud department. After speaking with her I explained why I was calling. All I requested per XXXX was an inquiry deletion letter. She proceeded to repeat to me all she could do is file an investigation for identity theft, that is the only way for these inquiries to be removed. She stated I would need to contact the credit bureau for further information as that is all that they could do. I then asked her if she could give me a date as to how long this would affect me and all she kept repeating was sorry we do not have a time frame to again call the credit bureau. I then again called XXXX and this time spoke with a supervisor and he repeated the same protocol. I explained I am aware but what am I suppose to do now ... ... .he stated to obtain a police report for proof they could not give me the inquiry deletion letter and submit this to them to then be reviewed to see what they could do???? I believe this is unnecessary as I am trying to buy a house and I can not even get the first group of inquiries deletion process started as no one neither the company nor the credit bureau can help me!!!!! How can any of which hold my information but not assist me? PLEASE HELP! _____________________________________________ Auto Dealers?

Complaint: I want to file a formal compliant against ALLY FINANCIAL as they had reported me 30-59 days late for XX/XX/2017 when i was assured by their representatives that this would not happen. I had called their service number multiple time to inform them that my XX/XX/XXXX statement was missing and they had informed me that it was not an issue and I would not be charged any fees and a payment was processed and I was told I would be getting a new ones sent out. When the new one came I paid as I usually do and kept that process going as I always have until the car was paid in full. I am saddened and confused by why they reported me 30-59 days past due and caused my credit score to drop over 100 points! This is so horrible and not fair at all. I do not appreciate being lied to and I am a great customer. This account is closed and paid off an don one in customer serve is reliable or helpful to me in alleviating this issue. Please can someone investigate this and help me with the false late that is tarnishing my credit report?
