Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Unable to receive car title or other problem after the loan is paid off

Consumer Complaint: I took out a loan from Ally Financial i n XXXX . First payment due on XX/XX/XXXX in amount of {$470.00}. I paid an additional {$100.00} per month towards principle, for a total payment amount of {$570.00}. I also made Principle payments on XX/XX/XXXX of XXXX ; XX/XX/XXXX of {$5000.00} ; and XX/XX/XXXX of {$3700.00}. On XX/XX/XXXX I submitted a final payment of {$1400.00}. Mailed with a letter, & amortization schedule to the listed address on the back disputing the amount they stated I owed. Then nothing till I received a statement in XXXX stating I still owe them {$82.00}. Which is the interest from miss-applying my monthly and one-time payments.

I called on numerous occasions to ask why my payments have not been applied properly. My first call was XX/XX/XXXX . Ally was taking the extra $ XXXX month and applying them toward future payments even after I asked them to be applied towards principle. Ally even applied my one-time principle payments towards future payments instead of loan principle ( with the exception of the {$1500.00 } one ) . By Ally applying my payments in this manner they have inflated the amount of interest on my account. Now, while I have been attempting to settle this account and claim the title, they are threatening me with damaging my credit report and not sending me the title of the vehicle as well as taking further legal action.

Please help me with this matter. I understand it is not that much money, but if they are doing this to all their customers that would be Millions of dollars in extra revenue. And I have been unable to make any headway with them. They wo n't even let me speak with someone in accounting about my account. XXXX XXXX just wants to collect money even if it is not their 's.

Attached below are ( 6 ) files documenting and backing up what I have stated above. 1. Is my Final payment letter. 2. Is an Amortization Sch. for the loan. 3. Is a copy of my Final Check 4. I s XX/XX/XXXX Statement from Ally 5. Is the latest Call recording with Ally 6. Is a record from Ally of my payment History. Documenting how they applied my payments.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with fees charged

Consumer Complaint: I have my car financed thro ugh Ally Financial. Since XXXX of XXXX I have made a few payments late, but have always paid the " late fee '' in addition to a little extra. My car payment is due on the XXXX of every month, and this month, on the XXXX , I logged into my account to make a payment and saw {$62.00} worth of " additional charges ''. I immediately got on the phone and spoke to a customer servi ce rep. My questio n was, how is it that these " additional charges '' continue to increase every month? His response was that I make my payment late, and I should be happy with it because the total amount due was actually less than what my agreement reflects. I asked to speak to a supervisor who then informed me that late charges are n't applied until 15 days past the due date - mind you I was 5 days late at this point. We argued back and forth for a bout 30 minutes because what she was telling me made no sense whatsoever. She insisted that these additional charges were not late fees and I should be happy because the payment was still less than my loan agreement. I made the payment, including the additional charge " late fee '' of {$62.00} and included extra money. Today I log in to my account to make a payment, my due date is XXXX / XXXX / XXXX , and yet again I see I am being charged additional fees " late fee '' unreasonably. I do not know what to do with these people. I believe they are ripping me off for additional money every month and I already struggle with making what I owe. Please help me.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem when attempting to purchase vehicle at the end of the lease

Consumer Complaint: As I have tried to purchase the vehicle that I leased, I have been told that I can not receive financing unless I put down approx. {$2000.00}. As seen in the contract attached, I have already put {$2700.00} down on the vehicle which was fraduaently taken off of the vehicles MSRP price when it should have been taken off of the amount I was leasing. Also, th e " Rent Charge '' on the vehicle is absolutely insane, at it is approx. 91 % of the amount I leased on the vehicle. It should, if not already, be illegal for a leasing company and the car dealership to charge a customer almost the same dollar amount in the " Rent Charge '' i n relation to the Depreciation Costs that are used to lease a vehicle.

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Funds not received from closed account

Consumer Complaint: Approximately 7 days ago, I deposited a check for {$10000.00}. After the deposit was approved on XXXX XXXX 2017, I w as advised the funds would be placed on a 5 day hold. Shortly after on XX/XX/2017 , Loss Prevention placed a block on my account restricting my access to online banking and left me a message. I was told the account was placed on hold due to further verification that was required in order to verify the check with the drawing bank, XXXX , and the LP Representative, XXXX XXXX advised she would get back to me after speaking to XXXX . On XX/XX/2017 , XXXX XXXX stated the check was verified, the funds were cleared and available and that she would be closing all of my accounts and would issue me a check on the closing balance, only AFTER withdrawing/transferring {$2900.00} to Ally Ban k for funds owed on a Jointed Money Market Account ending in XXXX that was closed and charged off prior to this matter. For the record, I have been a loyal customer and disagree with the decision made to close my accounts. Also as of XX/XX/XXXX ( today ) in which my funds from my last deposit were to be made available for use, for the record I am stating, I did not authorize, and am not authorizing Ally Ban k to transfer or withdraw funds from my interest checking account ending in XXXX to cover the debt owed on the Joint Money Market Account ending in XXXX which has already been charged off and closed. I am not solely responsible for this debt, nor did I cause this negative balance to occur. I have no involvement in any of the account activity leading up to the negative balance, and do not authorize Ally Ba nk to use funds from my checking account to pay this debt
