Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: I consign for my son 's car loan. I am not privy to when he makes his payment or amount. On XXXX XXXX2019 I contacted ally loan to talk about account and was advise that XXXX needed to be paid by XX/XX/ 2019. I told them I do not want this going on my credit report and I had the funds to pay today and was told just make sure pay by XX/XX/ 2019 and that would bring it current. On XXXX XXXX,2019 I notice a late payment had posted to my credit bureau, I contacted ally and was told that it was 30 days late, I spoke to a supervisor and was told if I make the payment today XX/XX/XXXX they would remove it from credit bureau, a payment of XXXX was made and I phone back on the XX/XX/XXXX to verify payment was receive and XXXX told me it would take 7 to 10 days to remove it but it would be done. I receive a letter from ally on XXXX XXXX that they were not going to remove it from the credit bureau. They deceived and misled me to believe that this matter was being handled. If they had just taken my payment on XXXX XXXX this would have never happened. They did not give the correct information and advised me that the payment on XXXX would keep it from going on my credit. They tape all conversations and this will show they gave incorrect information and that it is their fault.

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

I'm over a week in, multiple phone calls and hours on hold, and I don't even know if they are looking into this dispute or not.

Issue: Money was not available when promised

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Ally invest won't let me withdraw it. {$790.00} got transferred from my XXXX XXXX account to my ally account and I was charged a {$75.00} transfer fee. Leaving me a balance of XXXX with them that posted on Friday XX/XX/2019 Saturday the XXXX I try to add my bank. Had to wait till Monday the XXXX for approval.They rejected it because they said the names don't match. Bank had my middle initial and my account with them don't. But later I found out both accounts had my full name. So I requested a wire transfer. They said it would go though by XXXX. Monday night I call and see what happened. They said there not sure to call back tomorrow. Tuesday XXXX at XXXX I call and they said everything is good .and at XXXX I call and check they said it didn't process because the bank I was wiring it to was on there blacklist. XXXX Bank. So I gave them another bank. Called back at XXXX. And they said it didnt process because the XXXX was wrong. Which it wasn't. So I sent in 2 more bank accounts. They said it would be tomorrow before it processes. Wednesday at XXXX and they said that the transfer is on hold and the rep on the phone refused to give me a reason why. Said someone will email me and let me know. Wednesday night still no word from ally. So I login in to my account and was able to electronically link one of my other banks. So I tried to do a ACH transfer and it gave me a error and said for me to call them so. I called. The rep. Did not know why it gave a error said my wire transfer is on hold did not know why. So I told him to cancel the wire and do a ACH to my bank that i just added for {$600.00} so he said ok and he put the request though. A few hours pass so I. check my account still no request on my account dashboard and on there website under FAQ its says to check the status online transfer to go look under activity. I look and still nothing So I go and do the request online and it accepted the request and waiting for approval. So today Thursday at XXXX I check my account and the request was rejected. I check my email and said that it was rejected because the ACH profile to that my linked bank account was dead. So i call again. And the rep XXXX XXXX out said that I wasn't getting my money today. And didn't give me a reason. Just wanted to know why I wanted to withdraw my money. Now my account is on restriction. Said I have to wait 10 days before I can withdraw. I asked him why my account dash board has my balance amount under the field line of cash available for with draw today. But you telling me it's not. He said that statement doesn't mean anything. It's just there. And then asked me if I wanted to do a stock trade or buy stock. I told him no he acted like I was breaking up and then hung up the phone. So at XXXX on XX/XX/2019 I log into the app to do a trade and says my account is not available for trade. So I call them again and ask why can't I trade he said because I have a pending with draw. I asked what withdraw because I thought all was rejected or canceled. He said you still have the {$600.00} ACH withdraw request to my linked bank account that the rep put in over the phone.. but that request is on hold and my account is restricted because of all the multiable request of withdraws. The thing that gets me is that the ACH withdraw that I put in online was rejected because the ACH profile was dead. If that's true then the ACH withdraw that the rep put in should have the same error. Because it's the same liked bank account. That they said the profile was dead on. But yet the transfer is on hold. Just does not make any since. I'm so sick of banks keeping my money from me. Please let me know how I should proceed. Thank you XXXX XXXX XXXX

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with the interest rate

Consumer Complaint: I purchased two auto loans that are being financed with Ally Financial. XX/XX/2013 and the other loan in XX/XX/2013. I am still paying on both these loans to date. I found out there is a settlement with them about charging higher interest rates for XXXX XXXX and I wasn't notified. Why? I put down {$10000.00} on both these loans and my credit score was XXXX at the time of purchase. I definitely feel I am being discriminated against.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2019 the vehicle, a XXXX XXXX, was repossessed by a towing company, XXXX XXXX, out of a hotel parking lot in XXXX Texas. The loan was in charge off status and the company who ordered the repossesion was Ally Financial located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, Texas XXXX. On XX/XX/2019 I was emailed a demand for payment of the loan in full for the amount of {$21000.00}. That Monday XX/XX/2019 a wire tranfer was made to Ally Financial in that same amout from a XXXX XXXX bank to pay off the loan in full XXXX XXXX Reference # XXXX. I was on the phone to the Ally call center that same day and the next to verify that they received the full payment amount and asked for a receipt of payment as documentation through email which they were unable to supply even though, verbally, they represented the loan had been paid. I also asked for a release from or for the towing company, XXXX XXXX so I could retreive my car. I was told the release would be at the Towing company and then in the next convesation told that they had canceled the release. I also tired to make arrangements with the Towing company XXXX XXXX in XXXX texas to retrieve any personal items from the car and was told they were closed and to call back the next day. This happened several times and i was never able to access my personal items. Now without any docementation that shows that this account has been paid in full and a release for the vehicle, my car is being transferred to an auction house at XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX Texas. There has been many mistakes in this process and there could be another agregious mistake if this car is accidentally sold after being paid in full. I am not sure if Ally and XXXX XXXX are deceitful or just incompetant or both however i am alarmed at this process and hope you can help me to resolve this matter.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: This is my third complaint against XXXX XXXX at XXXX XXXX. He continues to close my account without thoroughly investigating. He sent me a copy of a form that looks made up and isn't my signature. I called him several times, but he did not answer. XXXX XXXX had a pig of a salesman who literally ran my credit multiple times without permission and XXXX XXXX declined my request to remove the hard inquiry. I reported it to my state attorney department that handles this and hopefully they take care of it. I will not stop until I get justice and get these illegal acts removed.
