Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with additional products or services purchased with the loan

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I was in a car accident and my car was totaled the next day. I made my Car payment which was due on the XXXX to keep in Good standing. Then got the ball rolling with Insurance and XXXX my insurance company to get payment sent over. Then in the beginning Middle of XXXX I was give the the run around that my Insurance had not been in touch with Ally Financial the Lien-holder and that they were waiting a response, but XXXX had already sent a check with the Payment amount around 11,500 to help pay towards the loan. Then I log into my account a few days later at the end of XXXX that payment had been sent through and that I did not owe anything until XXXX of XXXX. Prior to XXXX and XXXX, Ally would always send a notice a couple days ahead of Payment being due I always got a notice that a payment was coming and I need to pay it off. After the Insurance check went through and I had been in contact with Ally multiple times from XXXX through XXXX about keeping my account in good standing and ensuring I didnt owe anything or that I made sure my account showed that I was in an accident and it was a total loss. I am told at the beginning of XXXX that they didnt know I was in an accident or that my car was totaled. They at that point also did not tell me that I owed any missing payment or a payment was due. Then it took them two months to get moving with my GAP insurance and GAP did not issue a Check until XXXX. I got a Notice at the beginning of XXXX that all of a Sudden I owed {$1600.00} plus dollars and that my account was in collections because no one had communicated to me, I did not have any notices of my account missing any payments, but that I owed {$1600.00} something dollars. My credit has been shot and I am in the process of building a house. I need help getting this fixed for the urgent future please and thank you

Issue: False statements or representation

Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: I recently had a zero % debt with HCS. They sold it to Ally bank. When I received the statement, no where on the statement does it show the balance due of {$3300.00}. It says that I owe {$4200.00} including the interest if I don't pay the account in full by the end of the promotion date. I have called them and they said it is online or I can call in. In small writing it says I am in a promotion. If I was to die, my spouse would only be aware of needing to send them a check for the full amount, not the amount that I really owe. I am computer savvy, but for other people, this could be a major issue in report what is really owed. I can send a copy of my statement if needed.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On the last week of XX/XX/2020 I called a Ally Financial and spoke to a representative and ask here that i need to skip XXXX payment for reason that my mother in law was XXXX with XXXX XXXX and needed a little time to make the payment. I do not remember her name but she said she would help me. So as soon as I was able to make both payments I did and as time went on I receive an email from XXXX and it read that I received an negative mark on my credit report. I have tried multiple times calling Ally Financial to correct this mistake with no avail. All I asking for is Ally Financial to remove the negative remark on my credit report. Thank You.

Issue: Other transaction problem

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Hello, My name is XXXX XXXX. I closed a CD on XX/XX/XXXX with the amount of XXXX with Ally bank. The first check was returned back to Ally bank in order to issue another check. I contacted Ally bank on XX/XX/XXXX, and the bank manager XXXX said that the check was sent on the same day. I contacted Ally bank on XX/XX/XXXX that I did not receive the check. Ally bank confirmed with me the check was not cashed out. I requested Ally bank to make stop payment, and transfer the money to my other bank. Ally said that it would contact me on XX/XX/XXXX, but they never did. I contacted Ally bank manager, XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX and requested that they should transfer my money for me today, but they refused to pay my money back if I did not fill out the loss and found affidavit with notarization. I asked Ally bank manager XXXX why I should fill out their affidavit form since they confirmed that the check was never cashed out. They could make a stop payment and pay me right away. With Covid pandemic, I was going to look for the place to notarize the affidavit form in order to get my money since they knew they still had my money. I believe that Ally bank is trying to keep customer 's money longer without paying interest in order to do their business. I would like to get the problem to be solved as soon as possible. I am looking forward to hearing back from you soon. Best Regards, XXXX
