Problems when you are unable to pay

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: I am well aware that I fell behind on my car payments and do not need someone to tell me repeatedly about the damage it does to my credit, etc ... I am an educated person and do not appreciate condescension. I explained to my car loan company that, as a freelancer, I had the worst XXXX of my career and fell behind on all my bills for 2 months. I told them now that I was working steadily again that I would make a large payment, and I complied with that. Then I told them that I knew I was falling behind again and owed some more, but that I would need until mid-May before I could bring myself, at last, completely up to date. They said they would notate that in their system and thanked me for making the arrangement. However, they have continually called me since that agreement was made, usually up to 4 times per day. I have even answered a few times, asked why they continue calling me, and they simply say it 's the automated system and they have every right to continue calling me. But 4 times a day? I think not. I especially think not when they have said to me that they do have my agreement in their notes. What do they think? That by calling me repeatedly I will suddenly have money for them? It is absolute harassment and it must stop. They are the only place that has continually called me after having made an agreement with me. All other places accepted their respected agreements and stopped calling me. And, thus, their agreements were fulfilled and they did not need to call me again. But Ally Financial must be stopped from performing this harassment.

Complaint: I am in the process of buying a home and will be making several high debit charges for money orders and certified checks. I contacted Ally to increase my debit card balance. I was told by a representative that a request would have to be submitted and that the review takes 3 business days. Also, I was told that this increase would be temporary and that the debit card increase, if approved, would only last 3 days. This is problematic because the XXXX debit will be 7 days away from the XXXX debit. This policy will likely result in me not having access to my funds and will delay my closing which in turn will cost additional expenses for me.

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: Ally Financial is reporting to the credit bureaus that I owe them {$6600.00} based upon an account that I has with them over 7 years ago. I disputed that balance with the credit bureaus, but the credit bureaus told me that Ally Financial said they think the debt they are reporting is legitimate. I firmly believe that I have no outstanding balance owed to Ally. I have contacted Ally Financial for some time now, requesting that they supply me with a detailed explanation of the charges they are reporting, which constitutes the {$6600.00} balance they are reporting that I owe. They refuse to send that information to me. I believe it is completely unfair for them to continue to report I have an outstanding debt without supplying any sort of explanation of where this balance came from.

Managing the loan or lease

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2016, I refinance my auto loan, which had previously been with Ally Financial, with XXXX XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX has been great. They acquired a payoff amount and address for payoff, but Ally claims they ONLY has a PO Box , and payoff can only be sent through regular mail, not overnight. It has now been 3+ weeks since my refinance, and 2+ weeks since XXXX XXXX sent a payoff check and a request to release the lien. I have had four ( 4 ) conversations with Ally, all just short of stating that I must make a payment and that I have been sent to collections, and they have not been able to assist me in locating XXXX XXXX 's payoff nor have they been able to to provide me nor XXXX XXXX in anyway with a solution. They will not provide us with a physical address in which the bank can reissue and send another check either. XXXX XXXX will not resend without this.

Managing the loan or lease

Consumer Loan: Vehicle loan

Complaint: I bought a XXXX Chevy Silverado around XXXX XXXX. The 72 month contract had the terms listed and showed I would pay {$6500.00} in finance charges over the life of the loan. As of 3-4 months ago, and after manually adding all finance charge made on the loan, I 'm well past the {$6500.00} and I still have over a year left to lay on the loan. I 've made payments well above and beyond the monthly contractual amounts, but Ally keeps taking out finance charges. For example, my account is now due for the XXXX/XXXX/XXXX month payment. They have told me on several occasions that if I make an additional payment on my account, even if I want it to go to JUST principal, they will take finance charges out of it anyway. At this rate, I will be paying nearly $ XXXX- {$8000.00} in finance charges for the life of the loan. The initial disclosure of finance charges was so far off. I was mislead and my account is being mistreated. If my account is up to date AND is n't due for for another 5 months, I should be able to clearly make JUST principal monthly payments!

Taking out the loan or lease

Consumer Loan: Vehicle lease

Complaint: XXXX XXXX I leased a XXXX Jeep Wrangler from XXXX XXXX in XXXX, XXXX. The lease was through Ally XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX I went to XXXX XXXX in XXXX and traded my Jeep for the Honda. Ally gave me a lease buyout figure of XXXX. I made the deal with XXXX and left with the Honda. The next morning I get a call from the XXXX dealer telling me Ally told them they have to pay XXXX to pay off the vehicle. They said the XXXX number was only for me if I bought the vehicle. Needless to say I had to give the Honda back and come back to XXXX with my Jeep. Ally also told the XXXX dealer that I had to take the XXXX back to the dealer I got it from, XXXX, for the payoff to be the same as what it would be for me. XXXX said they would give me a check to payoff the vehicle then when I got the title I could give it to them. Ally told them I could n't do that. So, I came back to XXXX, went to XXXX XXXX ( since they said the payoff would be the same for them ) picked out another vehicle, made the deal and AGAIN Ally says the XXXX payoff was only for me. XXXX would have to pay XXXX??? I came home and went to XXXX because we were told their payoff would be the same as mine. Now, again, I could n't get the vehicle because of Ally. I 've read my contract over and over and nowhere does it say they can do this. Is this even legal?

Complaint: Ally Financial, keeps calling more than 3 times a day everyday trying to collect payment. They have a 10 day grace period for the payment to be submitted and within 3- 5 days they are already calling and sending letters to both myself and co-signer. These calls and letters are very stressing and distracting. Even if I contact them and try to work the issue out with them I am still getting harassing phone calls throughout the whole day. The letters state that they are going to mark my account as delinquent.
