Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Subissue: Termination fees or other problem when ending the lease early
Consumer Complaint: RE : XXXX XXXX XXXX -- -VIN : XXXX -- -Account : XXXX File # XXXX ALLY is willfully committing consumer fraud as the lessee exercised its right for early termination under Section 29 on XX/XX/XXXX ALLY Financials lease agreement specifically states that under Section 8 by Excessive Wear and Use. The lessee may be charged for excessive wear based on Ally Financial standards for normal use and for mileage in excess of 12000 miles per year, at the rate of {$.00} per mile.
The penalty for excess mileage is only implemented for each year and where the lessee is penalized on a annual basis, when the vehicle exceeds 12,000 per year. The Annual penalty is charged at {$.00} for every mile driven of 12,000 each year. Example If the lessee during the annual period from XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX, drives 15,000 miles, is charged {$.00} for excessive of 3000 miles and penalized {$750.00}. The same applies for the following annual terms for annual period XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX and also XX/XX/XXXX to XX/XX/XXXX which is lease termination. Inasmuch the term of the lease is for 36 months and the maximum allowable miles is 36,000 miles. However, the lessee has the option for Early End in Section 29 of the lease agreement. Where in Paragraph C states definition of Early Excess Mileage and Wear Charge excessive milage charge is applicable to Section 8. This lease was terminated early has the vehicle was turned in to the dealership One month before the term of the agreement on XX/XX/XXXX. Lease term from XX/XX/XXXX and ending XX/XX/XXXX. ALLY Financial committed consumer fraud as they did not comply with Section 8 and Section 29 of the terms of the lease, they must comply with the lease agreement under early termination and bill me under Section 8 as the lease did not come under full term.Company Response: Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of XXXX, I leased a brand new XXXX through Ally credit company. In XXXX I paid my payment a little late and they applied it to the XXXX payment early. The next payment I made was applied to the XXXX payment, the next to XXXX, etc. So basically my account ended up showing FIVE months late because they never applied my payments to that XXXX bill. I was NEVER notified that my account was showing anything but current. In XXXX XXXX the vehicle was totaled and paid off completely by insurance. We 've disputed this with them on several occasions and have been given the run-around every single time. Getting them on the phone is almost impossible and only one person ( out of the about 20 we 've spoken to ) spoke English, so it 's very hard to get anything done. They are a horrible company to work with and do n't care that they made a mistake and have made zero effort to fix it. XXXX and XXXX have removed it but it is still showing on XXXX despite the fact that we 've disputed it several times.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Billing problem
Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of 2017 I spoke to a representative about how payments were applied. She stated that any money received would be applied to the monthly payments and nothing would be applied to the late fee balance until the end of the loan.
On XXXXX.2017 I made a {$250.00} payment to cover my XX/XX/XXXX bill and some extra to cover my XX/XX/XXXX bill. The payment was misapplied. {$83.00} was applied to late fees instead of being applied to my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I contacted Ally Customer service in XX/XX/XXXX to reapply the additional funds towards my XX/XX/XXXX payment. I was advised that it would be taken care of and to wait 48 hours. I contacted customer service again a week later and I did not see it reflected on my account. I was advised that it would be taken care of. On XXXX.2017 collections contacted me advising about a past due balance. I inquired about the reapplying of the {$83.00}. It had not yet been applied correctly. He said he would process it but that I should call back on Monday to verify. Earlier this week I received another call from collections, I called back and asked to speak with a manager - after being put on hold for 10+ minutes the call was dropped/disconnected ( not from my end )Company Response: Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Denied request to lower payments
Consumer Complaint: My ex-husband purchased a used XXXX XXXX and financed it through Ally Financial. For my ex-husband of 40 years to get the loan I needed to sign. On XXXX XXXX he took the car to NH and left me without a vehicle. He cancelled the insurance on the vehicle. The vehicle is not registered. I have called Ally numerous times only to be told that they do not care if the car is insured or registered. My ex-husband is making payments prior to the 90 day mark. Ally said if he made a payment every 89 days they were fine with that. My lawyer recommended that I get insurance on the car in my name. There is not an insurance company that will insure that car because it is not in my possession or in the state of Florida. But Ally has told me that if the car is in an accident I am responsible. There are 61 payments left on the car. If Ally allows him to make 4-5 payments a year it could take 12 years to pay the car off. I have asked if I could take possession of the car. The XXXX Police said I could not. I asked Ally if they could reposses the car and they said NO. I am XXXX, have no car but am responsible if the car he is driving is damaged per ALLY. Ally will not force him to get insurance or to register the car and will allow him to make 4-5 payments a year. Ally has been rude to me on the phone and continually tells me that I am responsible for damages to the car. My hands are tied and could be for 10-12 years per Ally. It is affecting my credit report and will continue to for up to 12 years. Ally is uncooperative and is allowing my ex-husband to not carry insurance, not register the car and not make timely payments WHICH AFFECTS ME!
