Complaint: XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I received a special sales promotion paper to purchase a car at wholesale prices..I purchased a XXXX XXXX XXXX ... through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX , XXXX XXXX in XXXX , Michigan ... ... one of my friends went with me and we were at the used car lot for 5 hrs on that Friday evening. Several false answers were given to us by our used car salesman that said the XXXX dealer across the street had nothing to do with this sale, also that my friend would not be a co-signer ... .my last question to him about the car purchase was, I am XXXX yrs older than my friend and if something happens to me they wo n't come after my friend for the money for the car, because he ca n't afford that ... I was told, " do n't worry, you have equity in your car.. My friend started getting all the mail regarding my car deal..approximately XXXX denial letters came with his name on them from various credit unions ... also the proof of auto insurance only had his name on it ... that is when a red flag went up in my mind that something was very wrong with the deal. I can not be put on my friends car insurance as a driver as I do not live in his household ... on the title we are both the car owners with him being # 1 the owner and me # 2 the co-signer ... he can not afford the car and I can not afford the price of the car insurance put in my name ... my friends car insurance agent told us there is no such thing as having " equity in my car '' I asked the right questions, but we were both lied to ... .if we give the car back, we both will have a repossession on our records ... .I am currently awaiting a call from Ally Bank to notify them of how this deal went down and can they help us in this current situation ... ... thanks for your attention ... ..

Account opening, closing, or management

Bank account or service: (CD) Certificate of deposit

Complaint: I applied for a 18 mo. CD at Ally Bank for {$75000.00}. They withdrew that amount twice with authorization for only one. It resulted in insufficient funds charge on the checking account from which it was withdrawn. They refused to interrupt the transfer and I was charged {$34.00} by my bank for the ISF. I received confirmation of only XXXX transfer but they still contend I made XXXX requests. The branch manager at my checking account bank called Ally while I was in the office and they agreed to return the second {$75000.00}. They will not pay the cost of doing so. I told them I wanted the whole transaction cancelled and they will charge me 60 days interest or approximately {$150.00} for the 2 days it was funded. I have been a customer for several years with Ally, but wo n't continue to be if I can find a way to remove my accounts from them without severe penalty.

Complaint: This is the letter that I sent to ALLY Auto which describes the issue I sent in a Duty Change form to have my payments taken out of my account on the XXXX for each month. However, the form has not reached the Auto Department as or yet. This form was mailed 2weeks ago. In addition I was late paying my XXXX payment which was supposed to come out of my account on the XXXX instead of the XXXX. I was charged a late fee and paid the amount on the XXXX of the month a week later a payment was charged to my account even though I made the payment already which caused me to be charged a insufficient amount from my bank. I am requesting that this issue be looked into because my payment for XXXX is scheduled for XXXX/XXXX/16 even though I requested the XXXX of each month and I would like for a refund of the {$30.00} that I was charged from my bank due to your mistake. You can reach me at XXXXXXXXXXXX or XXXX. Thank You XXXX XXXX

Complaint: I purchased a vehicle on XXXX XXXX and got it financed through ALLY FINANCIAL with a monthly payment of {$230.00}. I was making all my payments to ally financial on time and from time to time I was paying XXXX or XXXX XXXX dollars extra. unfortunately on XXXX XXXX I was not in USA and was in my country on a family emergency and since I was paying extra every month I assumed I can pay {$180.00} and still be fine with my monthly payments and would not be late on my account. next thing I know I get an alert from my credit report agency that I have a 30 days late on my car payment. immediately I called up ALLY FINANCIAL and spoke to a supervisor and told him exactly what I just described and he promised me as a courtesy he is going to remove the 30 days late charge. Obviously they did not remove the 30 days late. since then I have been in contact with ALLY FINACIAL and had requested to send to me a copy of all the payment that I had made to them and how it was applied and also requested to send me when they had sent me a note to states they are going to report me to credit bureaus for a late pay.
