Subissue: Problem with the interest rate
Consumer Complaint: I traded my car in for a small truck that I would be able to use in my XXXX XXXX as a XXXX XXXX, in XX/XX/XXXX. At the time my credit was not so good but the vehicle I traded in had an excellent pay history. Credit insufficient due to Chapter XXXX filing in XXXX. The sales price of the truck was only {$14000.00}. I paid a {$2000.00} down payment and traded my car which they gave me {$3000.00} for supposedly. Initially they called and told me to they could not get me financed and I had to bring the truck back which I did and got my car but they did not want to give me my {$2000.00} back so they said I could pick up in two days and when I did they had gotten Ally Financial to finance it in for {$360.00} rather than my initial payment of {$310.00} with XXXX XXXX as they still refused to give me my money back. I had explained to the finance manager that I would rather not make a purchase with them for my inconvenience of bringing the truck back and when I asked for my car back before they sold me the truck, told me they had already sold it which was a lie. The issue is that the interest rate ( XXXX % ) is very high and the finance manager said that was temporary. The qualification to get out of the loan was to make the next XXXX payments on time and the loan would be refinanced to a better loan. I made two attempts to do that XX/XX/XXXXand XXXX. I went to the dealer twice and it was nothing they could do. By this time they had a new fiance manager and on two occasions, I spoke directly to Ally Financial and was told that they could not refinance. I would need to go to another bank or credit union. I did have a couple of extensions on two of them I made the full payment within the extension period, but with that being said this vehicle should be paid off with this usury interest rate that I was unable to get out of, in XX/XX/XXXX. I still owe {$8600.00} which means that all the paymnets has been applied as interest and not enough on the principle. this is too much interest for anyone. I received two checks for excess interest, which was the only explanation on voucher. I just assumed from some other class action and thought they would be adjusting but they did not.

Consumer Complaint: Payment was late- no denial of that. But made the payment on XXXX XXXX, used our XXXX acct., NOT the XXXX acct., which is closed. Their system at some point used the wrong acct., and even though it was corrected, they 're still claiming the acct. is +30. We redid all info on their system and they received the payment on Friday, XXXX XXXX. My major complaint is that Ally Financial-who are the note holder - called me at XXXX today, XXXX XXXX ( claiming that the payment is 37 days overdue, which it is n't ). I have told them on at least FOUR SEPERATE OCCASIONS that I am currently on the West Coast on PDT, NOT EDT. Each time they have called at XXXX or so I have reiterated the time zone I 'm in.

Consumer Complaint: Ally Financial is reporting an account on my credit report that is inaccurate and inconsistent. The late payments are not correct and different across all three credit reports. I disputed it and they verified it and you can even tell with the attached screen shot, that they said account information disputed by consumer and meets FCRA requirements. But how can it be accurate when just for example, they are reporting me 30 days late on XX/XX/XXXX and 60 days late on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX with XXXX and XXXX, but on XXXX they are reporting me 30 days late on XXXX XXXX and 60 days late on XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX. This is a violation of the FCRA and not in compliant with METRO 2 guidelines.

Consumer Complaint: From the month of XXXX, I have been contacting Ally financial to pay the minimum monthly payment and I have n't been able to. Ally financial, has blocked me from making online payment, XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX. I went on XXXX, to XXXX to make payment to Ally financial via XXXX XXXX and on the screen the customer service representative said that she had never seen a message across the screen instructing me to call into Ally because there was a block on it. Moments later, I called into ally 20 times to be exact to correct the problem, and they stated they received a fraudulent check from me. I do n't even have checks and have always used online banking, ( which I 'm blocked from as well ) but the rude customer service rep in the fraud department stated that their was a check but it the check was n't written by me at all. Ally Financial has blocked me from all ways of making a payment, and I have lates on my credit from it ... Ally financial is also aware of my difficulties of making payments because they blocked me from all forms of making payments.

Consumer Complaint: I have written multiple letter to ALLY about their accounting practices on my account. On XX/XX/XXXX Ally Sent me a final bill which made no sense in accounting My car was sold in auction with a SURPLUS of XXXX over the RESIDUAL BALANCE. ALLY did not give me any documentation of proof of the sale or sale amount. Ally also took at the profits and then still charged me for payments on the account when I did not have the car. They added fake fees and refuse to adjust this account. They have been reporting this account as owing XXXX. I do not owe this amount The Payment history shows me owing a balance of XXXX in payments being owed datedXX/XX/XXXX but on the final billing statement shows I owe XXXX?? If I owed XXXX total for my lease and paid XXXX+XXXX late fees=XXXX XXXX total balance -XXXX balance owed XXXX is balance If there was a SURPLUS of XXXX and a XXXX credit where did they go? There is no accounting for the account once it was sold of fees and sale amount. ALLY are in violation of 15 U.S.C. 808 15 U.S.C. 802 15 U.S.C. 806 I am requesting a copy of the bill of sale of the vehicle and accounting for all charges and fees I am requesting In detail the break down of the final billing statement dated XX/XX/XXXX Explain specifically in detail where each credit and debit went to and where they came from. I have disputed this multiple times with the credit bureaus and ALLY continues to report these false claims. My rights are being violated and ALLY as all of these CORPORATIONS are taking advantage of the people. I was never late until loosing my job. They sold the car and made a profit and lost no money and still want to bill me as a customer. This is unfair

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I was approved for a vehicle ( XXXX XXXX XXXX ) at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, TN XXXX ) through XXXX XXXX. The monthly payment was around {$640.00}. I provided the necessary documentation-2 current pay stubs, proof of residency ( lease and utility bill ), employment history ( 17 as a XXXX ), etc. I was there with my XXXX daughter and of course was complimented many times about her. I was told that my 1st payment would be around XX/XX/XXXX. In XX/XX/XXXX, I received a welcoming call from XXXX, that provided me with information about my upcoming payment. A few minutes after the call ended, XXXX called back to ask me if I was on XXXX leave ( I found this to be very odd that they knew that I had recently XXXX XXXX ). I said " yes '', and then we hung up. I never received the information about how to make a payment. A week later ( now a month of driving the vehicle has passed ) XXXX ( a lady named XXXX ) called to inform me that the loan was denied because I was on XXXX leave-despite the employment history and my current pay stubs. I wanted to know how XXXX knew that I was on leave. She was n't sure, but that I should n't worry and that XXXX would handle it. They " handled '' it by making hard credit inquiries without my permission- XXXX ( twice ), XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX, and Ally. In XX/XX/XXXX, I sent a certified letter with a signature receipt asking them to remove the unauthorized inquiries within 30 days. Their response was for me to return the vehicle. The signature on the receipt was on XX/XX/XXXX and the 5 inquiries are still on my credit report, my score has lowered, and I am still without a vehicle. I need your assistance in this mattter.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was paid
Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I bought a used car through Ally Bank that I later totaled in XX/XX/XXXX. When I purchased the car, I also purchased the GAP insurance, which is supposed to pay off any remaining balance not covered by insurance. It did not pay off the balance. Two years later, Ally sent me to collections. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX sent a letter offering a settlement amount, which I accepted. I started my payments XX/XX/XXXX, to pay the settlement amount of {$1500.00}. In my agreement with XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, I agreed to pay weekly payments of {$25.00}, till paid in full. I mail the payments out every Friday, my payday, and I write the account number on every check. Two weeks ago, I received my envelope with my check Return To Sender, Undeliverable. I figured I had written the address too sloppy or something. I then put that envelope stamped Return To Sender, that {$25.00} check, and the current weeks {$25.00} check into another envelope to send back to them. I did not want them to think I was breaking our settlement agreement. This past week on XX/XX/XXXX, I received a letter with one of my checks ( number XXXX ), saying that they were unable to verify a valid account. They were requesting additional information, such as my name, account number, address, etc. Before check XXXX was returned, check numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX have cleared. Check XXXX has been returned to me. Check numbers XXXX and XXXX have cleared since they first received check XXXX. As of today, XX/XX/XXXX, check numbers XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX have not cleared and are still in their possession. Is this debt finally paid in full? And if they don not have a valid account, where did the checks go that were cashed, and where are the checks that have not cleared?

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I called XXXX to report a dispute with the balance on my ALLY Financial Account stating that the balance was incorrect by several thousand dollars. I submitted a dispute online as well on XX/XX/XXXX ( dispute ref # - XXXX ). I waited for this dispute to take place for several weeks.On XX/XX/XXXX I checked my account to make sure the issue was resolved as I started to apply for credit and was getting denied because my debt ratio was way over the limit. This issue got me upset and I checked to see what the problem was. I found out that XXXX duplicated my Ally Financial account using the same account number and all other information except added a different balance and now my installment Amount doubled from {$27000.00} to {$55000.00} SO, my credit score dropped drastically and now it looks like I am indebted with more vehicles and a duplicated balance. This infuriated me as now it has made me look as I have more debt than what I can handle which has cause a big burden on my credit and now it puts a stop to my life since I am trying to obtain credit to finish opening my business.I immediately called XXXX and brought this to their attention. Again, submitted another dispute by phone and online ( Ref # XXXX ) on XX/XX/XXXX I checked again and still, they have not removed the duplicated account. Again, I called but this time spoke to the Disputes Dept XXXX and explained to them the issue. They said to give them 5 days and they will fix the problem. Now, it 's been 4 months now and still, the issue has n't been resolved. I checked again on XX/XX/XXXX ( ref # XXXX ) and this time XXXX said these accounts were mine and I was responsible for the full balance and that they will not remove the second Ally account and that they had spoken to Ally and Ally said they are my accounts. Now, this is not true, as they lied to me.This is ridiculous! I now called Ally XX/XX/XXXX to see if they can help me with this problem and Ally said they sent them a letter saying I only have 1 account and gave them that info ( ref # XXXX ). I do n't know where to turn, I 've tried everything to get this issue fixed and XXXX will not cooperate. Please help me, this issue has put a STOP to my daily living as we use our credit for everything we do in life. It 's now 5 months and nothing has been resolved!
