Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early

Consumer Complaint: I contacted Ally Financial Auto Leasing twice before turning in my leased vehicle. I wanted information on how to turn it in early and what the cost would be. I was given all the info I needed and was given a payout cost, which was satisfactory to me. On XX/XX/2019, I turned in the vehicle to a local dealership. As I was turning in the car, I was on the phone with an Ally representative. The representative again told me exactly what to do, then she talked with the salesman and a manager to get some necessary information from them. I signed the odometer statement, per her instructions, and gave over the keys to the dealer. Since that day, I have received multiple calls from Ally bank claiming I was past due on payments. I called them back, multiple times, entered into an online chat, and sent them emails, trying to rectify the situation. Each time I contacted them they claimed they didn't know I was turning in the vehicle, claimed they didn't have any information about the dealer I turned it in to, and claimed I was past due on my payments. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I called them yet again ( I believe for the 7th time ) to try and get this situation rectified. I asked for a supervisor, waited on hold, then talked with a supervisor. He said that he couldn't help me and that I had to talk a different department. He transferred me, I was on hold for 15 minutes or so, then the new department picked up. Less than a minute into the conversation she hung up on me - no one called back. After 30 days, seven phone calls, one lengthy online chat, and a couple emails, Ally still hasn't picked up the car I turned in. I did everything they asked and gave them answers to all of their repeated questions, yet still they haven't picked up the car and closed my account. I'm concerned my credit rating will be affected since they keep claiming that I haven't turned the car in and that I am behind in my payments. All they need to do is what they originally promised : They need to pick up the vehicle and send me a bill for the residual owed amount. I have no idea how to get them to do this.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days

Consumer Complaint: This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that Credit Union has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to misreport. More confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must over, I was never 30 days/60 days/120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask you be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem using a debit or ATM card

Consumer Complaint: ATM withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX for {$400.00} ( dispute number : XXXX ) and XX/XX/XXXX for {$400.00} ( dispute number : XXXX ) not made by me. I opened a dispute on both transactions. Dispute XXXX was closed in my favor but the bank will not provide the information used to come to that decision. Dispute XXXX the transaction was determined to be authorized and correct. Merchant Name/ATM location : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, CO, XXXX. I have requested information used to come to that decision. The information was not provide in letter sent to me XX/XX/XXXX informing that they determined the transaction was in fact valid. I think the disputes are related both were made at the same location. The ATM did not have a EMV chip reader, I did not see a camera. When I called XX/XX/XXXX to report the first invalid withdrawal on XX/XX/XXXX ally bank did not recommend canceling my card or inform me that a {$400.00} withdrawal had been made at the same ATM on XX/XX/XXXX. This is a ATM that is in network ( approved ) by ally.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 a transaction was made through the XXXX application in the amount of {$200.00}. I first contacted the app vendor, XXXX, themselves, who got back to me in a timely fashion and responded that, upon investigation, they determined I was the victim of fraud due to that transaction. XXXX replied that they had taken action against all of the fraudulent parties accounts through their app, but they had no recourse to reimburse funds frauded through their application and recommended I follow up with my financial institution and local law enforcement. Later that day I contacted Ally Bank about the account my XXXX was linked to and explained to them the circumstances surrounding the fraudulent charge. Ally opened an investigation and assured me I would hear a response in 7 - 10 business days. After receiving no information or follow up from them, I participated in their online chat to determine what the result of this investigation was. I again explained the situation to the chat representative, who agreed that it was a case of fraud and recommended I submit the documentation from XXXX via secure message for Ally to review and overturn. I submitted that documentation, waited the 7 - 10 business days and still received no response. Upon contacting the financial institution by phone, I ultimately received the answer that a federal regulation allowed them to not have to take action regarding this incident. While I have never had a problem with Ally reversing fraudulent charges are communicating in a timely fashion prior to this, this entire experience has left a bad impression on my of both their customer service and commitment to customers. I used to work in the XXXX XXXX XXXX and am well aware of what financial institutions can and can not do. What they're willing ( or not willing ) to do is another story entirely and I will definitely be rethinking my status as a customer to Ally Bank in the future.
