Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount

Consumer Complaint: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. has engaged in a despicable tactic where I paid 100 % of my lease and then returned the car, they asked for additional money upon return alleging damaging in excess of wear and tear, I had filed a complaint for their dishonest debt collection conduct and we had reached a settlement on a revised amount of money that was being asked. I paid again 100 % of the amount they asked and upon receiving the amount of money they claimed I owed they falsely reported as a collection/reposesion account. I believe Ally Financial should be investigated, sanctioned and fined for their misconduct my credit report has dropped 45 points as a result and stopped me from applying for a mortgage. I reserve the right to bring any viable claims against ally for their willful, spiteful and predatory collection practice. I even received a letter claiming that I was paid in full from Ally.

Subissue: Problem with product or service terms changing

Consumer Complaint: I helped my son get a auto loan with Ally Financial Auto XX/XX/XXXX I was principle on loan and son was co-signer, son was not prompt in payments so I took over payments XX/XX/XXXX or XX/XX/XXXX. I paid on time always with auto pay from my bank but I had never received a single statement or communication from Ally. on XX/XX/XXXX I saw online that payment was {$650.00}, I paid the {$650.00} with auto pay. When I went to look at Ally account XX/XX/XXXX account said no record of vehicle and I could not see vehicle account. The auto pay send {$650.00} on XX/XX/XXXX when I went to look at Ally account XX/XX/XXXX I still could still not see account then first week of XX/XX/XXXX I was notified that Ally had reported non-payment to Credit Bureau, I again tried to see account but was still locked out. I called Ally and was told first that I missed several payments when checking Bank I saw I had never missed a payment. I asked Ally what was up as I could not see account, never received a single statement, or communication of any sort and they informed me they only communicate with Co-signer per his telephone request and he had filed Bankruptcy so I was locked out of account and they do not send any type correspondence with principle who had paid for 3.2 years. Ally informed me I should have monitored account they locked me out of since they did not communicate with me and they had no responsibility to communicate with me regarding account or my credit. I was never notified of any discrepancy, received no communication in 3.5 years and was not allowed to see account they told me I should have monitored and still can not see?!

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

Subissue: Transaction was not authorized

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/18, I received an e-mail from Ally Bank stating that they had submitted 2 small deposits and one withdraw to my new linked account for verification of the new account. I had not tried to link any accounts, so I contacted ally Bank on XX/XX/18 to explain that The XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX was not my account, and I did wanted it removed from my account. I was informed that Ally in no way could remove the account because of the verification process, but that they would make sure that the verification was cancelled. Then I had to remove the account myself but it could take up to 72 hours to do so. I tried that evening to do so, but was unable to. I again tried to remove the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/18, to no avail. I did not have a chance to try to remove the account on XX/XX/18, but I received an e-mail on XX/XX/18 stating the my transfer request was approved and had been started from Ally. I logged into my Ally account, and now, it was the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MO removing {$2700.00} from one of my savings accounts. I immediately contacted Ally Bank to say that I did not authorize a transfer of any money to this or any other account. I also explained that I had been trying to remove the account, which had changed from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX to XXXX, MO. The customer representative stated that they could no stop the transfer, and that the money might end up in the other account. Then I would have to contact Ally to explain that it was fraud. I demanded that it be taken care of, that they stop the transfer. I did not authorize it. I was told a case would be opened to investigate the situation and someone would call me back. On XX/XX/18, I was contacted by Ally Bank, but called them back since I was not willing to give them personal identifying information about my account since they called me. XXXX then told me that the {$2700.00} was withdrawn and in the process of being transferred to the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO She informed me that there was nothing Ally could do about it, and told me I had to contact the other bank and stop the transfer. I told her that I did not have an account with the other bank, so how was I supposed to stop the transfer that I did not approve? She gave me an account number that she could see on her end, and I called the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, MO. Of course, they could not help me since I do not have an account with them, and the number I proved them was NOT my account. They told me to call my local police department. I contacted the XXXX, MO police department and made a complaint. ( I figured I should contact them instead of my local police, who is in WV ). I then contacted Ally Bank again, and requested to speak to a supervisor. XXXX assured me that the transfer had failed, and that my money was safe. He also said that I should not have been told to call the other bank. On XX/XX/18, Officer XXXX XXXX, XXXX, MO PD, contacted me and explained that the gentleman who was the owner of the XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX account in XXXX had been scammed by one of two companies, XXXX XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX, who had his bank information. The officer was not sure how my Ally account was part of this scam, but one of these companies were using his account. The officer had advised both the gentleman and myself to close our accounts. I assured the officer I would close my account once my funds were not frozen from this situation. I called Ally Bank again, and spoke with the supervisor, XXXX again. He assured me that the transfer failed and my money would be available on XX/XX/18, but my online account said XXXX instead of XXXX. My funds are frozen, by my choice, until this is resolved. Ally Bank has not taken the correct precautions to help their customer, me. They have been provided the information I gave them from Officer XXXX, and said that they would submit it to their fraud department. However, no one can tell me when I can get my money back, and it seems things keep changing right before I am able to make any progress. Ally does not care about their customers. This is the second time I have had issues with Ally Bank within the last four months. The first issue was in regards to my vehicle loan.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem related to refinancing

Consumer Complaint: I had my van loan financed with ALLY Financial with an ACH debit from my credit Union. My last van payment in the amount of {$360.00} ( after 7 years of financing it ) was made on XX/XX/2018 with a balance of {$14.00} left to pay, which I attempted to pay over the phone twice and online twice. ALLY rejected these payments. On XX/XX/2018 ALLY drafted another van payment in the amount of {$360.00}. I called and emailed them from their website numerous times. After 3 weeks they reimbursed me the amount of {$350.00} and subtracted the amount of {$14.00} from the {$360.00} they drafted from my account on XX/XX/2018. I received the title to my van at the beginning of XX/XX/2018. I checked my bank account on line on XX/XX/XXXX and saw that ALLY took out another automatic ACH in the amount of {$360.00}. I called and emailed them from their website on XX/XX/XXXX. The representative stated that the payments made to them did not show up on their end or on my account.They requested that I fax them my bank statement proving they they took the money out. Friday XX/XX/XXXX I sent them an email from their website and attaching my bank statement and a email to them. On Saturday XX/XX/XXXX I went to my bank and they faxed the bank statement which showed tht they drafted {$360.00} from my account. I checked my account with ALLY on line and it does not show that they took the extra van payments out, but my bank statemnet and balance shows they did. The bank told me that since the ACH agreement was between me and ALLY they ha to close it out.Otherwise I can pay the bank XXXX to unauthorize the draft. But, why should I have to do that? Don't these people communicate with each other? Who else have they donre this to?
