Consumer Complaint: I can not adequately express how disappointed I am in Ally Bank and my first and only encounter with their establishment. I signed up for an online savings account. Confirmed the trial transactions to make the transfers - specifically designated that the funds were to come from my Money Market account. Then I find that the transfers did not go through, that my newly acquired Ally account was permanently suspended ( XXXX / XXXX / 17 ), t hat they had tried to transfer out of the wrong account and had then charged that account a total of {$66.00} for XXXX transactions supposedly for insufficient funds. If they had taken the transfer from the correct account, as designated, they would have found that there was more than enough to cover the transfer. I am out {$66.00} with apparently no recourse.

Consumer Complaint: Company allowed me to lease a vehicle at an astronomi cal " Rent-Fee '' ch arge that should be deemed illegal. After 3 years of paying this disgusting rate, I went to purchase my vehicle through Ally Financial ( the same company I leased the car from ) and they denied me financing. How could it be fair to not allow the customer to buy the vehicle after a lease?

Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly
Subissue: Talked to a third-party about your debt
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2017 I was contacted by someone at Ally Auto finan ce in regards to my brothers auto loan account with this company. I asked them repeatedly to tell me how my information was obtained regarding a business matter and debt that does n't concern me. The person that I spoke with whose name was XXXX would n't provide me with that information and told me to speak with my brother to get him to request to take my information off of this account. I have not now or ever given permission to my brother or Ally Auto Finance to contact me, I never signed on as a co-signer, I never gave any information to the auto finance company or an y one else associated with Ally financial. After a long and frustrating conversation with XXXX I was t ransferred to XXXX the supervisor who at the beginning of my call stated that my name would be taken off of their information. When I asked again how my information was obtained he would not tell me that information. I asked for the contact information of their legal department or the president of the auto finance division and again I was denied. I asked again how my information was obtained and how they were able to invade my privacy and harass me to which I was told that my number would be removed. I asked again and finally XXXX told me that he did not know. I told him that I have every right to know and he told me that he would place me on hold for an hour or two so tha t this information could be found. After asking again for the contact information to the legal department so that I could send a cease to contact letter to them I was told that information was not available and then abruptly put on hold. After a few minutes XXXX came back to the line and stated that XXXX was searching for a supervisor for me to speak with and if I could wait then they could fine on for me. I repeatedly asked for information that was not provided, they would n't tell me where could send a cease to contact letter. I feel very harassed by this company and I feel that my privacy has been invaded.
For reference purposes the phone number that contacted me was XXXX .Company Response: Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response

We set up a payment plan were we had to put 1/2 down then 6 months of payments where we would pay our normal payment of {$450.00} plus the remaining balance split into 6 months for a total of {$720.00} a month from XXXX XXXX. XXXX XXXX we would go back to our normal payment of XXXX and we would be current. OnXX/XX/XXXX we paid to Ally Financial {$2100.00} to start the installment. we would be due on the XXXX of each month after. OnXX/XX/XXXX we paid our first installment of {$720.00} XXXX fee with XXXX confirmation number XXXX. On XX/XX/XXXX we paid $ XXXX XXXX fee with XXXX confirmation number XXXX. OnXX/XX/XXXX I called Ally Financial @ XXXX XXXX EST and spoke with XXXX and asked If I could push my payment back 1 week on the XXXX, she said that would be fine and she would make a note. OnXX/XX/XXXX I paid $ XXXX confirmation number XXXX spoke with XXXX. I asked XXXX if we were good and my monthly payments are still in tacked, she said yes. OnXX/XX/XXXX I received a call from XXXX from Ally Financial collection stating I was 100 days past due and my vehicle was out for repossession? I explained all the payments that were set up and with who, dates, confirmation numbers. XXXX came back to the phone and said her manager said because we were dismissed from the case our car was out for repossession. I repeated the the information I was given again to her. She put her manager XXXX on the phone and I explained the whole situation over again. XXXX told me I made in breach in contract due to making my XXXX payment on the XXXX. I explained to her that not one person told me that. Not XXXX on the XXXX when I spoke to her and not XXXX on the XXXX of XXXX when I made my payment. She proceeded to tell me that my car was out for repossession. I also had to make a dispute on our credit reports as Ally Financial did not report the down payment we made against the balance owed, and did not report the payments that we had been making.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease
Subissue: Excess mileage, damage, or wear fees, or other problem after the lease is finished
Consumer Complaint: My daughter and I jointly signed a lease for a XXXX XXXX XXXX fro m Ally Financial.
At the end of the lease there was a charge for excess wear. While I did not dispute some damage, I felt the charge for repair was excessive. I had ab out three calls with Ally to discuss this. On XXXX / XXXX / 17 I spoke with Ally regarding the dispute. I said I would be willing to settle for half of the {$290.00} charge or {$140.00}. The representative agreed and requested an immediate payment of that amount. I agreed and gave them bank account information to debit my account which they did. I consider the matter closed. I then received a letter from Ally dated XXXX / XXXX /17 ( pag e 2 of atta ched ) requested payment of a balance of {$150.0 0} ( original amount of {$290.00} less a {$7.00} processing fee and {$140.00} applied to the claim ). Ally had applied what I agreed to as a settlemnent in full as a half payment. That is not what I agreed to. When I called them to discuss, they claimed they do not settle for less than full payment and denied their representative would agree to such. I have decided to pay the balance to protect my credit but beleive their collection activity was clearly fraudulent.Company Response: Company has responded to the consumer and the CFPB and chooses not to provide a public response

Consumer Complaint: Ally is refusing to credit a 3 payment rollover ( {$820.00} ) from our previous lease, that XXXX XXXX took over on my new auto loan, we are getting calls @ work all times of the day and at night. They were advised by letter and verbally by phone that no calls will be accepted to our personal phones as they are used for personal as well as work purposes, and is interruptive. A monthly budget payment was accepted on their behalf on paying the remainder of the auto loan. But yet we still get harassing calls from them. I copied the consumer protection laws from the .gov website and sent it as a reminder to the rules and regulations, but seem to go ignored. Si nce Ally has agreed to a monthly payment plan, we see no reason to have any phone contact from them. They were advised USPS correspondence is fine for receiving the bill. At this point we consider this to be harassment on their behalf. On a phone call with them yesterday, I advised any further contact would result in further civil action on our behalf. We do not deny the balance due, we just want the calls to stop.
