Deferral was granted after paying 1 payment {$450.00} that day and speaking to XXXX XXXX ( the car is in XXXX name so they needed to speak with him ) I wanted to set up automatic payments but rep said I cant until the deferral is processed. Then a month later when logging on to pay my payment it said we were behind. This was XX/XX/XXXX spoke to 3 reps that morning one of which said he could fix the problem and just do a 2 month deferral now due to the mix up and began the process and then realized he would have to talk to XXXX due to the loan being in his name I tried several times to get him on the line and got disconnected then when I called back twice no one could help me. I had to go into work. Called back later that night with XXXX still XX/XX/XXXX and spoke to a supervisor XXXX # XXXX explained she said that there was only a 1 month extension I advised that was the problem it should have been 2 months per conversation XX/XX/XXXX. Advises I want the calls pulled and reviewed from XX/XX/XXXX and the morning of XX/XX/XXXX and I want this resolved.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

Consumer Complaint: I called Ally Financial in XX/XX/XXXX to obtain my payoff amount. I wired the payoff amount through my bank. I have been waiting on my title and today XX/XX/XXXX, I received another bill for a another monthly payment but isnt due until XX/XX/XXXX. Its there mistake for not giving me the correct amount and I dont think I should have to pay this amount. Its absurd. They are a joke as to a finance company and I plan on suing them and my attorney will go after them for legal amounts that incrue for his time and any other fees that he see fit.

Issue: Opening an account

Subissue: Account opened as a result of fraud

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX this same character from XX/XX/XXXX is still attempting to open an fraudulent account using my personal information as a victim of identity thief that has a fraud alert on all the 3 different credit bureaus and still after I just informed Alley Bank to get stronger all their online procedures letting anyone apply online with out a verifiable documentation of where ( IP address, with city, state and town where the application is coming from or who is really trying to open up a account in a fraudulent transaction. a very weak security system to weed out id thieves ' on line especially when the same person has done this same crime 4 times from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX at the same institution Ally Bank. This tells me that a weak procedures the bank has is not determining fraud on line at their banking institution. MY NAME HAS A FRAUD ALERT EVERYTIME THE SOCIAL SECURITY INFORMATION AND PERSONAL INFORMATION IS USE THRU ALL 3 CREDIT BUREAUS IN THE UNITED STATES! THEY MUST CALL ME FIRST!

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed

Subissue: Debt was paid

Consumer Complaint: I have an ALLY FINANCIAL charge-off on my credit report that should have been covered by my GAP insurance. When I called they said that I was not covered for this debt because I had a late on the account. There is nothing at all in my contract that states my GAP coverage would not charge if there was a late on my account. I want this debt and account removed off of my credit report.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem while selling or giving up the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: 32 years ago in XX/XX/XXXX I bought a new XXXX and took out a XXXX loan for 36 months. NYS DMV issued a title for the car showing the lien. I paid the loan off in XX/XX/XXXX and received a loan satisfaction letter from XXXX. NYS DMV removed the lien from the title and sent me a new clear title. Sometime in the intervening years I lost the clear title. A few months ago I paid NYS DMV to issue a replacement title. When I received the title it listed Ally Financial as a lienholder. Ally Financial has been a successor in interest to XXXX since about XX/XX/XXXX. Ally Financial can not locate any documents supporting this lien for this 32 year old car. They can't tell me if someone else fraudulently borrow money on my old car. They can't release the lien. As a result, I can't sell the car to a junk dealer! I have no open accounts with Ally Financial. The only identification number I have is the VIN for the XXXX.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Billing problem

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I made a payment for {$2000.00}, that payment amount was a mistake. My monthly payment is {$250.00} a month. I am an XXXX veteran with XXXX XXXX and did not notice this mistake until XX/XX/XXXX when Ally Financial contacted me because of late payments on the account. That day since I noticed the over payment I told them to take the payments that were due from the {$2000.00} and refund me the rest. I called again on XX/XX/XXXX to check the status of the refund and payments and they told that they needed another 24 to 48 hours to complete the process. I called again today XX/XX/XXXX and they said that they applied part of the {$2000.00} to the months past due and the rest they applied it to the principal balance of the loan. They do not want to refund me anything and did not authorized the transaction to apply the remaining part of the {$2000.00} to the principal.
