Issue: Managing the loan or lease

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

Consumer Complaint: First : you do n't have the right category listed for my problem : My problem is : Ally Bank customer service is not willing to provide the dealer payoff amount to me. They are only willing to provide customer payoff and no other info. I spoke to the managers at both departments. The secrecy around car business is extremely disturbing. A lot of people are getting ripped off real bad. In this case, I need the dealer payoff, to estimate if the dealer would buy the car from me. If the loan has a negative or positive equity. In order to just estimate that, I would have to go to the dealer, provide all my personal info and sit at least an hour, before that dealer payoff quote is received by the dealer. After that, the dealer might or might not wan na give me that amount either. This is absurd. The car business is so dirty, the laws must be improved to help customers. And by the way, I called my car salesman 3 times, left 3 voicemails, and he never called me back. I already sit there for an hour, I am not going back to sit more for nothing ... So how would I ever get my car deal done???

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with paying off the loan

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX. The finance company was Ally Financial account #. This was for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX vin #. My payments were made in a timely fashion and on time. In XX/XX/XXXX, I even made a separate additional payment for {$120.00}. At that time, I was just wanting to get ahead. Later in the month, my wife and I came to the realization that the intended purpose we purchased the truck for was just not in the cards for us. So, on XX/XX/XXXX we decided to trade it in at a dealership. The dealership agreed to the payoff amount quoted to them by Ally Financial when they called to obtain the 10 day payoff. We finished the deal, and drove away with a different vehicle from that dealership. I assumed that all was good and taken care of. Then, to my surprise, I was alerted by XXXX XXXX that there was a change to my credit report due to a derogatory remark. I immediately checked to see what was going on. I then seen that Ally marked me late on my credit report for the month of XX/XX/XXXX. I contacted the dealership and they said that payment was overnighted on XX/XX/XXXX. They gave me paperwork showing that the check they sent to Ally Financial cleared their accounts on Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX. The due date for this loan was on Friday, XX/XX/XXXX ( 3 days business days later, the check was cleared from the dealerships bank ). I called Ally and ask them why they marked me late. They said that upon receiving payoff, the payment has to go through several departments for titling to be issued. I said, well then, the late was on their end with the paper shuffle issue, not that it was n't paid in time. The representative told me that yes, it could take up to 14 days to process payoff. Now that the vehicle is paid in full, they refuse to remove the late mark on my credit file. I do n't feel that this is fair or just. I 've done everything I was supposed to do on my end. They received payoff in a timely fashion but do to their processing procedures, it was n't credited to my account until after the due date. I would appreciate this being looked into further and for this negative remark to be removed from my credit report. Can you please help.

I also filed complaints to the CFPB under # s XXXX and XXXX, as ALLY failed to prove the balance owed. Ally Financial violated their own terms and conditions of the lease agreement under Section 8 for billings. I was never billed under Section 8 for any excessive mileage charges when lease was terminated in XX/XX/XXXX, as prescribed in section of the lease agreement. Their charge off amount is Ambiguous and Fraudulent. Ally Financial Inc., is in violation of their own lease agreement and where I have complied with their terms and agreement of the lease agreement. I paid every month on the lease agreement for 36 months. I never have been billed under Section 8 as required under the lease agreement for excess mileage on an annual basis. Ally Financial Inc., must report the true facts of my payment history and prove the alleged debt under section 8 of the lease agreement as no such billings as in penalties for excess mileage as required on a annual basis that each year where the mileage excess 12, 000 miles. There is no valid charge off under the terms and conditions of the lease agreement and must be sanctioned for such consumer protection violations as I never have been billed under Section 8 as required under the lease agreement.
