Billing problem
Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX used my bank account information to make an unauthorized withdrawal. I made a payment on my account on XX/XX/XXXX and the next payment was due on XX/XX/XXXX. Without my consent, Ally authorized an additional ACH withdrawal from my bank on XX/XX/XXXX. When I called to inform them of the unauthorized transaction, their only response was that they would apply it to my payment due on XX/XX/XXXX. This action caused my bank account to be overdrawn and they refuse to refund my money.

Problem making or receiving payments
Complaint: Please refer to # XXXX and # XXXX submitted on XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX respectively regarding the issues with XXXX or XXXX. Previous complaint ============================= At that time - this company simply tried to put the matter under the carpet/rug. I am facing the same issue since XX/XX/XXXX. I have updated my XXXX profile so that with my cell # - my ally bank account is associate and NOT XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX was the old one and ally bank is the new one. But still anytime any payments which are coming to my cell # - it goes to the old account ( XXXX XXXX NOT ally ). I reached out to Ally and then to XXXX XXXX ... everybody ask me to reach out to somebody else ... so no accountability and ownership at all. Today I called at XXXX during XXXX XXXX to XXXX XXXX and talked to XXXX about the same issue. Case # XXXX has been created for this. All the calls are going to XXXX to some very naive customer service associates. When the customer wants to talk to the higher ups - they simply tell that even higher up will do the same. I end up paying fees from the bank due to this. ============================= Now Spoke to XXXX at XXXX ( Level 2 support ) for around 18+ minutes during XXXX to XXXX XXXX CST. Have the entire recorded conversation and could share with you. Previous complaint. Till now this issue is going on. My payments ( made to my cell # ) some times goes to Ally Bank and sometimes to XXXX XXXX. I have to maintain two accounts and it's a lot of hassles. Nobody ( Ally, XXXX XXXX and XXXX is taking the accountability and responsibility ). I want old fashioned ACH transactions with ABA Routing # and the A/C # s - at least it was clear, non ambiguous, no buggy and we were aware - what's going on. XXXX - has no non mobile interface. People like me who are not that comfortable with the mobile screens are struggling. Moreover XXXX App - doesn't even shows you which account it is associated with and how to change it to something else. It's something which is untested and not even ready to be used for real world and introduced a lot in hurry. It's very dangerous and chaotic. Worst wait time on the support is too much ... Wasting time with Ally, XXXX XXXX and XXXX customer service for no fault of mine.

Account information incorrect
Complaint: I have contacted Ally Financial two times in the last 30 days and been advised by two associates and a supervisor that they can not verify, discuss or accept payment for a credit item they claim that I owe.Today I called again and spoke to XXXX who would not give his last name.He seemed to have full access to my account with my personal information, the vehicle related to the account and advised he could see where I had previously called last month.He refused to verify the amount they claim that I owe and repeatedly stated that he could not discuss my account. A previous call with a supervisor around XX/XX/XXXX I was told that these were new accounts that were not set-up in the system and that she also had no way to review the information or verify totals claimed were correct.This makes no sense as this account is over six years old and due to be removed by law in just a few months.There is nothing new about this account.She stated that even if I were agreeable to making a full payment she could not process.She further advised i should call back in two weeks which I did today XX/XX/XXXX. They are intentionally providing false information regarding access to the account. This is demonstrated by the fact that during my initial call and discussion with an account representative she advised that she could accept {$3000.00} to settle the account and advised that if I were to accept payment would have to be made within 10 days. This contradicts everything the supervisor and second representative said regarding their access to the account and ability to resolve the account. These details can easily be verified via a transcript of the calls which per the creditor are recorded. This creditor is unable to verify, discuss or settle payment on an account they are actively negatively reporting to my credit profile.

Complaint: I purchased a new vehicle from XXXX XXXX in Michigan where the salesperson fraudulently had me " robo '' sign documents, which I signed and the figures were later changed. The initial lender was XXXX XXXX and it was transferred to Ally Financial. When I turned the vehicle in, the balance was and had always been paid in full, except when Ally refused to address the fraud at the start of the loan. The Car had some damage, which was paid for in full by my Automobile Insurance Company, XXXX, to Ally but they are still reporting a negative account on my 3 Credit Bureau Accounts.

Information belongs to someone else
Complaint: The document Ally Financial has uploaded is NOT VALID. I have mailed Ally Financial a copy of my correspondence that they should have received in 2016 along with recent identity theft report made with the FTC as well a copy of my LEASE amendment that was signed and dated in XXXX 2016 along with a summary billing statement that I received upon request from XXXX XXXX. My utility company at that TIME when I RESIDED IN NEW YORK STATE. I DID NOT EVEN LIVE IN THE STATE OF ALABAMA. The signature on said document does not even match the signature on my LEASE. HENCE, the reason its called IDENTITY THEFT. My RELATIVE had another Photo ID, birth certificate AND social with MY name on it. HER ACTUAL license has been suspended for YEARS hence the reason why she probably had to steal my entire identity just to get a vehicle and auto insurance and gas and cable. I will be consulting a lawyer on this matter should this information wrongfully remain on my credit report. By all means feel free to contact the apartment complex management office AND utility company to verify the documents presented. For all I know she has an employee at ally and at the dealership who worked with her to cook up this fabricated MESS

Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Vehicle loan or lease: Loan

Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off
Complaint: I purchased a new XXXX XXXX VIN # XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, financed for 6 years through XXXX. At some point my loan was transferred to Ally Financial. The loan was paid off in XX/XX/XXXX, but I did not receive a tiltle and called to inquire ; I was told that they released the lean on the title and that XXXX would print the title if I needed it. In XX/XX/XXXX the car was wrecked and processed by XXXX as a total loss ; XXXX requires the title to release the settlement funds so that I can get a new vehicle. When I went to XXXX to get the title I was told they could not give me the title because it still had a lean from Ally financial. I asked my wife to call Ally, which she did and was told it would take 24 to 48 hours to process ( I do not have the transaction number ). 10 days later I follow up ; They have no record of my account or social security # but do recognize the VIN of the car. I get the same response as my wife except its 24 to 48 hours for a fax and a week to 10 days for the mail ( transaction # XXXX ). 5 days later still no title release so I follow up again. They transfer me to an account recovery department XXXX who says the system dealing with old accounts is down and they will process it when it is back on line, I asked how long it has been down and when it is expected to be on-line and was told it had been down for at least 2 weeks and they had no information when to expect it to be resolved, and that I have waited 5 years a few more weeks should not be a problem. I call back several times asking for managers or some one who can send a release with out the broken system but have no luck. They all had the same story " they are experiencing technical difficulties and they will call me once they are resolved. I called back the next day and put in another request # XXXX.

Account status incorrect
Complaint: I have an auto account with Ally Financial. I have received 30 day late payments on my credit report on three occasions. My payment is due on the XXXX, XXXX or XXXX of each month depending on the month. I was having some problems receiving statements and spoke to a customer service representative about this. I was not quite sure when my exact payment due date was and was running late making my payment due to a personal issue. I made my XX/XX/XXXX payment onXX/XX/XXXX thinking XX/XX/XXXX was the due date and that this would get the payment in before I was 30 days late. I was incorrect and the due date was XX/XX/XXXX. I spoke to an Ally representative that understood I had issues receiving my statements and assured me I would not be reported late on my credit. after I was reported late I was assured again by customer service that this would be removed and to date it has not. I made sure to get this caught up and always make my payment before it could be marked 30 days late. Then came XX/XX/XXXX, again I am marked 30 days late. I spoke with an Ally representative and they verified that I made my XX/XX/XXXX payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Therefore this payment is not late. Then again in XX/XX/XXXX I was marked 30 days late. An ally representative told me I made my payment on XX/XX/XXXX. I actually have proof that I made this payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Again the payment is not late. I am attaching proof of the conversations I have had with Ally as well as copies of the payments which prove I made on time payments in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. As it stands now I still have not received statements in the mail and I do not have online access to view them. I never know when my due date is because it is an inconsistent day each month. I would like these late payments removed from my credit and my cosigners.
