Managing the loan or lease
Vehicle loan or lease: Loan
Billing problem
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I submitted a claim against Ally Bank because all payments were not being applied XXXX. Afterwards, I spoke with XXXX, and we all came to an agreeable solution. We agreed that I would continue making payments of {$25.00} per week towards the {$1500.00}, but making them to XXXX XXXX instead of the creditor that had applied them to the wrong account. I called XXXX XXXX about two weeks ago to check our balances against one another. On my end, I have the balance paid down to {$1000.00}. The man I spoke with at Ally said he has no record of our arrangement, and kept trying to get me to set up new arrangements for a higher balance. I tried continuously to tell him that was n't correct. I then sent in my next payment of {$25.00}, making me new balance of {$1000.00}. I also sent a letter explaining our situation, and asking why they make arrangements but do not notate them in their system. I received a letter from Ally dated XX/XX/XXXX. It said I have 15 days to agree to Plan 1 of {$1400.00} or Plan 2 5 payments of {$340.00} to equal {$1700.00}, neither of which was what we had previously agreed upon. I called in today, XX/XX/XXXX. The man I spoke with says they have no record of the agreement, that I 've only been paying towards the balance of {$1900.00}, that my {$25.00} per week is doing nothing towards my balance, that my payments are not going to XXXX, but to XXXX XXXX. I told him all my checks are made out to XXXX XXXX, he says its all the same. He said that my settlement did not sound like a settlement, but a payment arrangement, that they would never have agreed to it because they like things to be handled lump sum 30 days or less, and that there is nothing in their notes of our previous agreement.

Managing an account
Checking or savings account: Savings account
Funds not handled or disbursed as instructed
Complaint: I have an bank account with Ally Bank and I have used the wire function of the Ally Bank.
I have found the process to be extremely slow and have called up multiple times to confirm the wire amount and beneficiary with the Ally Bank Staff.
I have spent hours on the phone dealing with Ally Bank staff and their wire department staff. I am very dissatisfied with the wire service they have provided and I kindly request that Ally refund me the {$60.00} I have been charged on wires.

Managing the loan or lease
Vehicle loan or lease: Loan
Loan sold or transferred to another company
Complaint: Without notice, my vehicle loan account with Ally Bank was transferred to a debt collection company on or about XXXX XXXX XXXX. The first information I received about it was a notice from the debt collector, XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, demanding information about my vehicle and for me to acknowledge the debt. I then went to the Ally website and found that my account information had been deleted. I had recently discharged my bankruptcy case however my vehicle payments were up to date at the time I received this notice. I have since continued to send my monthly payments to Ally Bank. To this date none of them have been returned to me and I have received no contact from them about transferring the servicing of XXXX loan.

Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Vehicle loan or lease: Lease
Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finish
Complaint: XXXX XXXX the vehicle was turned into the dealership where we purchased it, the lease did not end till the beginning of XXXX XXXX but they allowed me to turn it in early and under the allowed mileage, we did n't need the vehicle anymore. When the vehicle was returned I went over the vehicle with the salesman, and my father was present also. I made the salesman aware of the trim on the drivers side front door, the trim had begun to lift so we then went and got the body shop XXXX and he stated that they would be able to fix the trim and I agreed to pay for the repair before the vehicle would be given back to the lease company. The next day the body shop XXXX contacted me at my home and I paid for the repair over the phone with my debt car. Besides the trim on the drivers side front door the vehicle was in excellent condition and the salesman assured me that the lease company would give me no problems after they inspected it. So at the end of XXXX XXXX we receive a bill for over {$1000.00}, I called the lease company and the instructed me to go to their website and I could view the inspectors full report, I requested that they mail me out the report and all the pictures because my home computer was n't working, they refused on multiple occasions. I was able to view the report a few days later at my job and seen that they had also charged me for the lifted trim on the drivers side front door and they claimed that the tires were bad. There was pictures of the inspector measuring the tires, you can see in the pictures that the tires were measured on the outer edge of the tire, where the tread was the shallowest, in the XXXX, it is stated that the tires must be measured from the center or the deepest tread on the tire, which it was clearly not. The vehicle had XXXX miles on it and I do believe the tires were XXXX mile XXXX tires, and they had warranty on them. Of coarse I called the lease company after seeing this and they stated that there was nothing that I could do about it and I was just suppose to pay the bill. I also emailed them the online receipt 3 times for the trim repair and they claimed they never received it, the XXXX person I talked to, told me they receive thousands of emails a day and they just could n't find the one I sent them. Now the real kicker in the this is that the dealership where I purchased the vehicle from, bought the vehicle from the lease company, so I have pictures of the vehicle after the dealership purchased it and before it was for sale on their lot, and the vehicle is a XXXX out of XXXX, it still had the original tires on it and the trim is repaired. I once again called the lease company and explained this to them with no success, they did not want me to send them the pictures I had, all they told me is that I have no say in the matter and I am just suppose to pay the bill, I then stated to the lease company that I will be contacting my state attorney general about the matter and the lease company hung up on me. I then contacted my state attorney generals office and filed a complaint with them, I mailed them every piece of documentation we had and all the pictures, around the end of XXXX XXXX we then received a bill from the lease company for {$700.00}, so once again I called the lease company, because there was no explanation of why the bill decreased, I was told by the lease company that we received a good costumer discount, since we filed a complaint and I needed to now pay the new amount, I once again told the lease company that it was in the hands of my state attorney general and they hung up on me. The lease company has called my cell phone all hours of the day, they tell me that I am being recorded and that I am suppose to pay my bill, I then tell them that the matter has been turned over the my state attorney general and they hang up on me. I have spent hours on the phone with the lease company and have got no where. We are now getting harassing letters from them, threating to turn us over to collections. At the end of XXXX XXXX we received a letter from our attorney general, stating that they could n't get anywhere with the lease company and wanted to know if we wanted them to keep pursuing it, we mailed them the latest bills we had received and told them to keep on them. This lease company is the most difficult company I have ever dealt with. They are plain in simple trying to take advantage of us, I am tired of their threating letters and harassing phone calls, we did nothing wrong, we never missed a payment, never abused the vehicle and did everything according to the contract.

Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX to remove inquires i did not authorize. I spoke with a XXXX rep and told him which ones needed to be removed, he confirmed the ones that needed to be removed and the call dropped. As I called back and was on hold for about 20 more minutes I got another XXXX rep I explained to him what the other XXXX rep was doing about deleting the unauthorized inquires before the call dropped, however she was rude and did not care. After talking for about 5-10 more minutes, needless to say she did not help me with what the original XXXX rep was willing to do. There are XXXX inquires from XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX from car loan places. None of these places had my authirization to pull my credit or anything relating to this matter.

Took or threatened to take negative or legal action
Debt collection: Auto debt
Threatened or suggested your credit would be damaged
Complaint: I would like to inform you that I continue to dispute the current status of the loan ( status=charged off ). On XX/XX/XXXX I disputed the status and the 3 month delinquency that was incorrectly reported to the credit bureaus, through XXXX. Ally Financial corrected the inaccurate delinquent payments it reported. Unfortunately I still do not agree and believe Ally financial had no legal right to charge of the loan. Letter dated XX/XX/XXXX from Ally was to inform me the loan was now charged off due to missed payments this information is incorrect furthermore Ive continued to make the monthly payments. Ally had no legal right to charge off the loan. They failed to conduct a reasonable investigation when verbally requested on XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX whom I was transferred to by another representative from Ally 's total loss department after contacting them at XXXX and assured me they would allow 30 days to attempt to resolve the pending GAP claim prior to charging off the loan ( documents have been included to show proof ) they provided inaccurate information about me to the credit bureaus and used fraudulent information in taking action to do so. My concern is that the lack of communication between departments or properly documenting pertinent information to be easily accessed among the different departments is resulting with substantial harm and inconvenience to its customers.
Ally financial has violated provisions of federal Fair Credit Reporting laws by failing to provide accurate information reported to credit bureaus.
On my last communication with Ally Financials Asset Recovery Departments on XX/XX/XXXX XXXX I was told by XXXX that the reason the loan was charged off was due to the deficiency balance after my Insurance company attempted to pay off the auto loan for payment amount Ally received and processed on XX/XX/XXXX if the details of that statement were accurate? why wasnt the loan charged off as of XX/XX/XXXX Instead Ally verbally confirmed the loan was charged off on XX/XX/XXXX. As I have not violated the terms of the loan agreement and the loan has never been in default why was the loan charged off?

Public record information inaccurate
Complaint: We opened this account in XXXX and paid on time each month until XXXX XXXX when we filed for bankruptcy ( Chapter XXXX ) when we stopped making payments per our attorney. The trustee made payments to Ally until we dismissed the bankruptcy in XXXX or XXXX XXXX. Ally is incorrectly reporting the account as late every month during this period, instead of stating that it was included in the bankruptcy and omitting the fact they were receiving payments from the trustee.

Billing problem
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment on my car note of XXXX. I received an email onXX/XX/XXXX stating that my payment had been made and giving me a confirmation number for the payment.
I also received a mailed statement from my lender stating that I had made the payment, dated XX/XX/XXXXFive days later, onXX/XX/XXXX my lender, Ally Financial, stated that they had not been paid, as they had neglected to take the funds given to them on the day that they were given, despite the fact that they had issued two ( 2 ) written notices stating that they had been paid.
They have now begun credit collection activities against me, including calling my work phone number ad nauseam, Monday through Friday, sometimes seven to eight times a day.
When the money was available for the payment, the payment was made. Ally sat on my transaction for nearly an entire week, and did not take their payment, although they stated and confirmed with a confirmation number that they had.
Now, I am in arrears and owe penalties which seem to have been the aim of the company, to obtain more funds than the payment amount, or by the negligence, or laziness of their employees, I now owe said penalties, and am in danger of losing my vehicle.

Problem with the interest rate
Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX : Purchased a car and got a loan through Ally Financial.
First payment due : XX/XX/XXXX. First payment made : XX/XX/XXXX All payments due on XX/XX/XXXX of the month. All payments were made and credited well in advance of the XX/XX/XXXX of each month.
XX/XX/XXXX : Contacted Ally Financial by mail. It was about my car loan 's finance charges fluctuating each month. I questioned why there was a range in finance charges from {$98.00} to {$230.00} in the first four months of my car loan with them. ( I have never been late. ) XX/XX/XXXX : Response from company was a print out of my payment history.
XX/XX/XXXX : I contacted Ally Financial by mail again with the same question.
No response as of yet.
XX/XX/XXXX : I filed a consumer complaint form with the Ohio Attorney General 's Consumer Protection Section. Additionally, I mailed a copy of the complaint to Ally Financial.
No response as of yet from either Ally or the Ohio Attorney General 's Consumer Protection Section.
XX/XX/XXXX : I checked today on my payment history with Ally Financial and my finance charges for XX/XX/XXXX were an outrageous {$270.00} ( my cay payment is {$310.00} ).
I have never been late.
I have also tried to pay at different times to see if I could find a pattern none that I can determine.
I find it unbelievable that Ally has never responded to my question about these finance charges fluctuating.
I find it unbelievable that a company can charge me this amounts these fluctuations are well above any interest rate for my loan. I can not imagine that these finance charges are correct.
