False statements or representation
Debt collection: Auto debt
Attempted to collect wrong amount
Complaint: Ally financial is reporting on all 3 of my credit reports. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX all incorrectly. Balances of {$9500.00}. I have contacted this place on several different occasions and I have no progress in over a year. Just more bad comments to my credit reports. I have tried emailing the CEO of the company on more than one occasion, No responses on the date of X/X/17 and X/X/17. have sent disputes through all three credit bureaus and the better business bureau as well. Dates including X/X/17. X/XX/17 and XX/XX/17. I have one report showing my balance is paid in full, I have another report showing i only paid only a % of it. All reports show this account was closed over a year ago. No balances are correct. I have had no contact with this place, they have not contacted me, no letters, no calls, no correspondence. How is a closed account reporting negative payments? Is this even legal?? I got no notification of this action. I would like to demand proof of this debt, specifically the " alleged '' contract or other instruments bearing my signature and identification as well as proof as well as your proof of authority to collect and report this matter. Please evidence your authorization under 15 USC 1692 and 15 USC ( f ) in this alleged matter. Please provide a complete account history, including any and all charges added for collection activity.

Talked to a third-party about your debt
Complaint: Ally Financial is the company I get the loan through for my vehicle. They started out by calling myself and the co-owner of my vehicle non stop. I asked them to remove all numbers and stop contacting us. They continued to anyway so we were forced to block them on our phones. Now they have taken it upon themselves to locate the phone number of my co-owners mother, whom we never provided a number for or authorized them to speak to. Last week I called them again and asked them not to contact anyone yet they keep calling her. They are speaking to her about my loan which she has nothing to do with. I need this collection practice to stop.

Problem with product or service terms changing
Complaint: My sister asked me to co sign a vehicle for her. She and the Car dealership had me sign in the Owner portion of the loan instead for a specific vehicle. When I left for sea with my ship, my sister went back to the dealer with my father and had the vehicle swapped. When I came back and realized this it was already too late to change anything. She is not paying the bills on time, still owes the state of Virginia registration fees that has not been satisfied in over a year. I called Ally Financial multiple times explained the situation and asked them to repossess the vehicle because I no loner want it and they refused to do so. They keep telling me that she needs to agree to the repossession. I told them the address where the car is located and I also give them her contact info. The vehicle is parking with no insurancing or a current registration. I do n't want to be lliable for the vehicle as I am still the primary owner of the car. I want them to reposses it. I already give them the location of the vehicle multiple times and they still have n't picked it up.

Billing problem
Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX my car was repossed by Ally Finance, I wanted my car back so on Monday XX/XX/XXXX I called redemption department to find out what I needed to do. I was behind 2 months and late charges. They told me how much I needed to pay to get it back, that was {$1800.00}. I did what I needed to do, borrowed the money paid by XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. They received the money and everything was released on XX/XX/XXXX. I asked about making the XX/XX/XXXX payment, which was due on XX/XX/XXXX. The gentleman told me to send it by XX/XX/XXXX and send with XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX so they would get it on time. I sent {$350.00} by XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX for same day delivery. The following week I started to get rude phone calls about not paying the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I explained I had paid and gave them the reference number from XXXX but they could not find it. I called the redemption department again, asked about the XX/XX/XXXX payment was told yes they received but could not understand why it had n't been posted, this was XX/XX/XXXX. I now have a late charge of {$17.00}.
Spoke with XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX in redemption, both found payment and sent to escalation to be posted. Still getting phone calls and being told I did not make the payment plus a late fee. They even asked if I wanted to make a payment arraingement. Ally told me I should have paid on online or called the payment in but they had shut down my online account and at the time the {$1800.00} had n't posted. It posted on XX/XX/XXXX. I then started calling XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, to check on transfer. XXXX saw where Ally received the payment, could not understand what they did with it. Was transferred to the problem dept where they checked for correct account number, my name, where it went, and the receiving code, everything was correct. XXXX with XXXX, was going to contact Ally about why they did not post to my account and to call back in about 5 days. XX/XX/XXXX, called XXXX was told retransferred the money to Ally and saw they received it again. Called Ally, spoke to XXXX, still cant see it, then was told the reference number she had was an incorrect number and that the XXXX agent gave me wrong number. The number was computer printed with all my info listed and XXXX can find it, so did Ally redemption dept. I called XXXX again, spoke with XXXX who checked all my info again and said that it was all correct. He was going to email Ally again to get this cleared up.
On XX/XX/XXXX I made XX/XX/XXXX payment but it was applied to XX/XX/XXXX so I am still behind and now have another late payment.
At this time I have 2 late fees of {$17.00} and still 1 month behind.

Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle
Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX I traded my vehicle in for a new vehicle with my dealership. The lease was repaid in full but the dealer mistakenly paid an extra {$1000.00} to the leasing company. This resulted in there being {$1800.00} excess cash deposited on my account with the leasing company, Ally, that was owed to me at the end of the lease, representing my original {$820.00} security deposit and the excess {$1000.00} payment. Ally acknowledges that this {$1800.00} is owed to me. I have called them multiple times and they confirmed that amount. I was told in XX/XX/XXXX that the money would be returned to me in full when they sold the vehicle, which would likely be within 6 weeks. I repeatedly called them over the next few months and each time was told that there were delays in selling the vehicle but that I was not responsible for the value of the vehicle, that there were no damage fees assessed, and I would be returned the {$1800.00} of excess payments when they sold the vehicle. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called Ally and for the first time they told me they were assessing {$180.00} in wear damages and that they did not plan on selling the vehicle for another month. But they also confirmed from their account notes that I was previously told by them that there were no damage fees and I could expect to receive the {$1800.00} shortly. I was told I would receive a call back from a representative of the company to discuss the matter further and they have not called back.

Denied request to lower payments
Complaint: I signed a car loan with Ally Financial XXXX 2015. My car notes are just way too high. It appears that they charge high interest rates to minorities. I just can not afford this car. I do n't know why or how they approved me for a {$670.00} car note. Its almost like they purposely want me to fail this loan agreement. The company is very " bully like '' with their collection practices.

Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX I put in a application to refinance my XXXX XXXX XXXX.
XX/XX/XXXX I spoke with XXXX and went over a few pre-approvals and I accepted 48 months at 7.74 % and a payment of roughly XXXX.

At this time there was NO mention of down payment what so ever, all calls are recorded.
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX calls and asks about if I will be pay the down payment and I told her that it was never mentioned so I did not know about it. She then said I will need to call you back so I can figure out what is going on.
XX/XX/XXXX XXXX calls and says she did not bring it to my attention and that it was her mistake.
All calls are recorded.

Problem with personal statement of dispute
Complaint: I purchased a car in XX/XX/XXXX And I got turned down from Ally bank. They said my XXXX credit score was a XXXX. But they listed a company I have never heard off called XXXX XXXX. They are stating my credit score is a XXXX. My question is who is this company I have never heard of them and why would my score be 141 points lower with them than the big 3 banks use. This credit company maybe me get turned down for a loan that I should have easily been approved for.

Billing problem
Complaint: I have contacted Ally on XX/XX/XXXX via their XXXX contact number listed on the monthly account summary to request why these summaries do not include year to date paid in principal and interest, not just the monthly amount - and was told that was their standard practice. I explained that I paid in excess of the required payment and was concerned the excess was not going to principal as the finance charges appear to increase month to month.
I was transferred to a manager after requesting so since the response received about how interest is applied ; the agent for ally said its computed daily, and my agreement was for an annual interest rate - daily interest is not detailed in the summary or in the document I signed for the loan. I request statements be sent to me showing me the monthly principal and interest ( finance charge ) and the effect it was having on my outstanding balance - I requested those statements be sent immediately. The manager said they would call back and confirm the statements were on its way the following day.
On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Ally via their XXXX contact number to explain I did not receive a call back, and needed confirmation the statements were being mailed to me. The agent said I should expect to receive the statements in 3 - 5 business days.
Its XX/XX/XXXX and I have not received the statements.
The truth in lending statement does not fairly disclose the types of finance charges, and interest and payment activity that if made on time, would lead to final interest and finance charges over the period of the loan - its less than I am actually paying ; the monthly summary does not provide month over month accounting of payments made and the impact to principal.

Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Complaint: My current car lender has repossessed my vehicle due to non payment. I have not been able to pay because of illness, XXXX, and hardships. I was devastated by the XXXX of two family members in XXXX during the hurricanes. Even though i did not have much i was asked to contribute to each funeral. And also My income had become affected by the hurricane in texas. Many of my clients were forced to cancel and as well as myself was forced to cancel many appointments. After the homegoing of my one of my uncles and one aunts, I fell ill to an unknown XXXX XXXX. I was hospitalized from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. That same day I called and alerted my lender about my situation. I stated that I would try to make a payment on the XX/XX/XXXX, because i expected to be paid a lump sum of money from cancellations. I was unable to make the payment on the XX/XX/XXXX. Then finally I was told of another death in my family in michigan the first week of XX/XX/XXXX. I had no intentions on allowing my car payment get away from me this way. But I did let Ally Financial know of the troubles My family and I were experiencing. And I was told that I would be given time to make a minimum payment to push the other payments to the end. Unfortunately, I had not been aware of the repossession until it was too late. I have been struggling since the hurricanes hit! I know that my family is n't the only one that has been affected, but at this very moment I will struggle even more by not being able to get to my clients to bring in the income at all. The Ally Financial rep even stated that I had never fallen behind like this before, and they were here to help me in my time of need. I woke this morning, to find that my car had been repossessed.
