Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle
Consumer Complaint: My current car lender has repossessed my vehicle due to non payment. I have not been able to pay because of illness, XXXX, and hardships. I was devastated by the XXXX of two family members in XXXX during the hurricanes. Even though i did not have much i was asked to contribute to each funeral. And also My income had become affected by the hurricane in texas. Many of my clients were forced to cancel and as well as myself was forced to cancel many appointments. After the homegoing of my one of my uncles and one aunts, I fell ill to an unknown XXXX XXXX. I was hospitalized from XX/XX/XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. That same day I called and alerted my lender about my situation. I stated that I would try to make a payment on the XX/XX/XXXX, because i expected to be paid a lump sum of money from cancellations. I was unable to make the payment on the XX/XX/XXXX. Then finally I was told of another death in my family in michigan the first week of XX/XX/XXXX. I had no intentions on allowing my car payment get away from me this way. But I did let Ally Financial know of the troubles My family and I were experiencing. And I was told that I would be given time to make a minimum payment to push the other payments to the end. Unfortunately, I had not been aware of the repossession until it was too late. I have been struggling since the hurricanes hit! I know that my family is n't the only one that has been affected, but at this very moment I will struggle even more by not being able to get to my clients to bring in the income at all. The Ally Financial rep even stated that I had never fallen behind like this before, and they were here to help me in my time of need. I woke this morning, to find that my car had been repossessed.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Billing problem
Consumer Complaint: I have contacted Ally on XX/XX/XXXX via their XXXX contact number listed on the monthly account summary to request why these summaries do not include year to date paid in principal and interest, not just the monthly amount - and was told that was their standard practice. I explained that I paid in excess of the required payment and was concerned the excess was not going to principal as the finance charges appear to increase month to month. I was transferred to a manager after requesting so since the response received about how interest is applied ; the agent for ally said its computed daily, and my agreement was for an annual interest rate - daily interest is not detailed in the summary or in the document I signed for the loan. I request statements be sent to me showing me the monthly principal and interest ( finance charge ) and the effect it was having on my outstanding balance - I requested those statements be sent immediately. The manager said they would call back and confirm the statements were on its way the following day. On XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Ally via their XXXX contact number to explain I did not receive a call back, and needed confirmation the statements were being mailed to me. The agent said I should expect to receive the statements in 3 - 5 business days. Its XX/XX/XXXX and I have not received the statements. The truth in lending statement does not fairly disclose the types of finance charges, and interest and payment activity that if made on time, would lead to final interest and finance charges over the period of the loan - its less than I am actually paying ; the monthly summary does not provide month over month accounting of payments made and the impact to principal.

Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: I purchased a car in XX/XX/XXXX And I got turned down from Ally bank. They said my XXXX credit score was a XXXX. But they listed a company I have never heard off called XXXX XXXX. They are stating my credit score is a XXXX. My question is who is this company I have never heard of them and why would my score be 141 points lower with them than the big 3 banks use. This credit company maybe me get turned down for a loan that I should have easily been approved for.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Consumer Complaint: I purchased a new car from XXXX XXXX in XXXX Kansas this past XXXX, XXXX. Before going to the dealership, I submitted my information online to be pre-qualified for financing. Once getting to the dealership, they checked my credit again without looking to see that it had already been done. They worked hard to get me financed and were finally successful. By the end of the week I saw the two XXXX XXXX hard inquiries on my credit report. In addition to that, XXXX XXXX checked my credit a third time without my knowing. And they also submitted my information to 11 other finance companies and authorized them to pull my credit individually WITHOUT MY KNOWLEDGE OR CONSENT. This whole process created a total of 14 hard inquiries on my credit reports ( XXXX showed all of them ) and brought my score and borrowing power down for the next 2 years. The first time I bought from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX they shopped me around for financing WITHOUT authorizing other companies to check my credit independently. I NEVER would have agreed to 14 credit checks. I would appreciate it if these were removed. I have tried to contact XXXX XXXX and a few of the other companies but I never am able to talk to anyone who has the power to remove these inquiries. So I am stuck with no reprieve or apology.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was paid
Consumer Complaint: My complaint involves the business practices and Debt collection practices of Ally Financial. XX/XX/XXXX I was in a bad XXXX XXXX at work and was in the hospital with a XXXX XXXX and XXXX that required XXXX causing me to be out of work for a while. I notified Ally because I knew i was going to get behind on the {$970.00} that I paid on time for two years. So I called Ally Financial and spoke to a manager on a recored line and advised her of my situation and medical condition and I would be on XXXX for a while. The manager then told me yes you are a good customer and what would you like to do? I advised her that I did not know how I was going to pay the car not and would like to give it back, she was then like o.k. thats an option and we would take it back and you would have nothing due to us because we would sell it.I paid in excess of {$15000.00} dollars on a care that was worth only {$39000.00}. Now we we tricked into buying the car due to the XXXX that we purchased at XXXX XXXX in XXXX, Ga had about eight recalls and two of them were safety recalls, so with that being said they would not allow us to take our XXXX home and gave us trade options. So now that I no longer have the vehicle Ally Financial has taken the vehicle back voluntary, but before they had the car they called in excess of 6 to 8 times a week in a harassing nature. I had to send them letters and ask them to stop calling and they did not. After sending several letters and seeing this on my credit report as negative they continue to harass me by adding XXXX dollars to the balance that I do not owe because they sold the vehicle and want to still come after me although the aforementioned Agent told me they would not. I sent them letters and they ignored several times and the last one I sent on XX/XX/XXXX I received no response until XX/XX/XXXX which was past 30 days. Now they are saying they cant find the conversation or any letters I sent and I have all copies I find this as corporate bullying and misrepresentation.
