Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with the interest rate

Consumer Complaint: I purchased my vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX under my business. I told them at the time I was the only member of my business and that my tax ID number was simply my social security number. I contacted them a few months ago ( XXXX ) because while my accountant was looking over my IRS paperwork, he discovered that my business vehicle was NOT titled under my social security number but a made up number by the company. They have n't had my business vehicle titled correctly since I purchased it, meaning the tax deductions through my business are actually invalid. I have sold the business and I want them to switch this from a business to a personal loan and refinance it. They are telling me that I cant. I am very close to getting a lawyer and suing them to get out of this contracted loan. I either want them to take the car back and let me out of my loan, or remove the ridiculously high interest off of it and title it in MY name. Every-time I call they ask to speak to my husband, not me. My husband has nothing to do with my business whatsoever. I am absolutely SICK over this and nobody seems to be able to help me so I guess legal action is necessary. I dont feel like I should jump through hoops so that I can have this done correctly for them, they screwed up, not me.

For XXXX I understand it not a full payment but I 'm trying the best I can to pay everything in full in a period of time. I am struggling due 2 3 things now one is a hospital bill that is huge for a XXXX that was done to my dad in XXXX. That has been one of the reasons of my delay to make payments the most recent one is the hurricane XXXX that affected my love one my family in texas. Their homes were completely destroyed and now they have nothing my family and I provide them with water, clothes, blankets, food.and money. It is very sad and upset that I am experiencing this problems. And seem not to find a way out of this. This is a temporary thing and that is why I want ally financial to understand that I need to support my family affected and now also by the earthquake in XXXX XXXX my aunt uncles cousins have no water no homes, no clothes, and in need of more help. Those are the main reason why I in default and un debt. It is not intentionally I am working but my check is just not enough not now that I 'm experiencing this terrible situation due to mother nature. My family and I are very upset that all this is happening to my family and us. I spoke to a representative today XXXX XXXX. 2017 and the representative insulted me telling me that I was loud and that I was angry and that I was always screaming on the phone I told him that that was the way I spoke and not to take it the wrong way but I was n't mad and that I had a deep voice. He insulted me telling me all those things and I even told him are you listening to what you are telling me you are insulting me sir. And I have you recorded and I told him I would file a complaint to cfb consumer financial protection bureu. That is very unprofessional the representative iinsulting you telling you that I was been loud and other things unacceptable not need it to gear those kind of words. In other word he was saying I was rude. And annoying and told me to stop talking and listen to him. I got mad and told him that was incorrect and that that was not the way to treat a customer even if anyone was behind on payments. Ally Financial I have always been on time on my payments except this 4 months to to the circumstances that I 'm currently experiencing due to my relatives affected by the hurricanes and the earthquake and my dad 's situation. I also wan na thank you because you been there for me before and now you are making it difficult to me i need tour help and they calling me more than 30 times a week or every day.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information belongs to someone else

Consumer Complaint: Someone illegally purchased a vehicle with my information and only my first name and changed my last name. They listed me as a cosigner. I realized this was on my report when I pulled it in XXXX XXXX. I filed a police report in XXXX, Alabama for the crime that was committed. I also reached out to the collection agency as well as the original creditor. I have given both the police number as well. I disputed with the credit bureaus and was sent a copy of the signed document in the mail which had a different last name listed for the person who stole my identity.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I co-signed on a car with my husband in XXXX 2011. The car has been since repossessed. It was a XXXX XXXX. Ally Financial is reporting the balance of {$16000.00} as past due every month as well as derogatory. I am not past due on an account that is in collections and closed. Once the car was repossessed, there is no longer an agreement in place. I have worked with ALLY to quit reporting this account as past due as I do not have a current agreement with them but they will not. This is unsatisfactory business practices.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Consumer Complaint: I have attempted on numerous occasions to speak with an ALLY ( formerly GMAC account ) representative to provide me current and accurate information regarding the status of my lease account. An Abstract of Judgment was filed and recorded against me on XXXX, XXXX. Since then, the debt was discharged and a XXXX was issued to me. When contacting ALLY ( XXXX - Acct. # XXXX ), they have informed me that there is nothing else needed from me and the current balance on aforementioned account is XXXX. I requested this information to be updated accordingly as I am in the middle of a refinance to reduce the interest rate on my VA loan. Because they did not provide this information, I was denied credit and will continue to pay the higher interest rate until this information is updated. Once updated, I will attempt again to refinance but will be forced to pay at a higher interest rate until this is resolved. I called on the following days : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each call lasted well over half an hour and all with similar empty promises made by supervisors and ALLY representatives. The first time I called, they agreed to email a document that reflected the current status of my account. That never happened. 2nd time I called, they acknowledged the fact that they agreed to email me a document but were unable to do so and would instead overnight me a statement of account. That never happened. I called a third time and they stated that someone from " upper management '' would contact me ( they only made this offer after I informed them my next call would be to the CFPB ). The call never came. My goal is to attempt another refinance, while interest rates remain low, so I would appreciate a response from ALLY as soon as possible ; especially given the fact that they have already agreed to this in 3 recorded and monitored phone calls. As a Veteran, I have become accustomed to a higher standard of service and am extremely disappointed in how ALLY treats their customers and all their empty promises. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Consumer Complaint: I bought the vehicle in XX/XX/XXXX, possibly XX/XX/XXXX. Within 60 days of purchasing it the engine stopped and the dealership had to install a used engine in its place since they said it " blew up '' and was not fixable. From that point I had mechanical problems with the car consistently over the next 3 years which caused me to get behind on the payments. The company ( Ally ) worked with me I thought but after all, I realize recently that every payment that I skipped has added at least a year to the payments. I have tried to discuss what options I have concerning the loan and repossession and I have never received the information I asked for. I have stopped making the payment for 2 months and feel that they should reposses the vehicle and not charge me anymore. I have paid somewhere near {$10000.00} to Ally and have spent approximately {$4000.00} to keep the car running. I do not make a lot of money and I am a single mother. I just want to wash my hands of this vehicle and not have to pay Ally anymore at rate of 17 % interest. Before my husband left in XX/XX/XXXX I agreed to filing bankruptcy to please him which is why my credit was bad at that time. Please help me!
