Consumer Complaint: I 've been disputing this for 2 years now. I recently Pulled my credit and saw ALLY Financial is still on my Credit report for $ XXXX. I do not recall this debit, I sent XXXX different letters requesting investigations and re investigations from the credit bureaus to investigate this matter. After several attempts to find out any information about this alleged account. I Sent a Notice of pending litigation, Seeking relief and monetary damages under FCRA section 616 & section 617, giving them 10 days to verify this alleged account and send me proof of this account. Still No reply, no action. Ally is Still on my credit report and reporting monthly late payments dropping my credit score drastically. I have rights and I plan to pursue them. They are impairing me from a fair chance with creditors and a quality of life.

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I ordered XXXX cashier 's checks for {$2000.00} each to be expedited to an address in XXXX. Through mislabeling on Ally Bank 's part, those checks did not reach their intended recipient. It has now been 1 month since I have requested the money be put back in my account and it has not happened. I have been told three different stories from Ally about them either being mailed out, or the money being put back in my account that has yet to happen.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Ally has not responded to resolve the discrimination complaint of XX/XX/2017. ref # XXXX Based on the response from Ally, XXXX, of XX/XX/2017 It is apparent that further investigation is warranted into the policies and practices of Ally used to determine credit worthiness. This XX/XX/2017 response from Ally is ambiguous, appears to be in conflict with itself, and is potentially misleading. Nowhere in this response is there supporting information that one can conclude Ally has not acted within a posture of age discrimination to determine credit worthiness. Simply reiterating a statement that " Ally takes claims of discrimination very seriously '' does nothing to support that Ally has not acted in just such a posture. Indeed, the lack of specificity and clarity begs the question. What is the criteria, specifically, which Ally would have approved this TOE? Income? How much? Use of available credit accounts? Be specific. Available cash on hand in a bank account? What exactly are those quantifiable " merits ''? My credit history reflects an unblemished credit score of XXXX and a practice of XXXX balancing credit card statements every month for years. Surely this must have some weight in the formula for credit worthiness. Further, please elaborate and explain the portion of the statement referring to the credit inquiry made in XX/XX/2017 that reads, " since we did not use the accurate information upon receipt of your TOE application ''. Ally has not and did not request or receive any additional information from myself since the initial mailing of the Ally TOE application of XX/XX/2017. Ally did not have " a permissible purpose '' to access my credit report in XX/XX/2017 in connection with evaluating the Ally TOE application. Additionally, the XX/XX/2017 letter to CFPB states that " an 'accurate ' declination letter will be mailed to you under separate cover at the address on the application indicating the reasons for our decision ''. This letter has not been received. Waiting for this letter to show up has caused yet further delay in my responding herein, and with each day of delay from Ally, it costs me more money to pursue the acquisition of a vehicle not to mention the induced frustration. The letter that Ally did XXXX mail to me under separate cover is a copy of the letter sent through the CFPB complaint system. Yet again, one can see how the Ally response letter is fraught with ambiguity. For the reasons stated above, I hereby demand that Ally, immediately, remove the unwarranted credit inquiry made in XX/XX/2017 so as not to further delay and constrain my vehicle acquisition initiative and promptly notify me through the CFPB complaint process when this action is taken. It is my sincere hope that future communications from Ally do not lead to more granular questioning, costs, and further, damaging time delays. Please include the CFPB in ALL communications. Sincerely.

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Hello, Im a XXXX veteran unemployable. My wife and I were able to purchase a brand new car from XXXX in XXXX Delaware. We received the car in XX/XX/2016.Approximately 2 months later we received the loan papers from Ally auto financial company. They were requesting 2 payments right away, and the third payment was coming up due shortly. The 2 payments would have been $ XXXX {$460.00} ( upcoming 3rd payment ) .To speed up this story, I have been in constant contact with them. This week XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke to my loan manager, XXXX . I advised her I will make a payment within 2days. On Saturday morning XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX I spoke to a XXXX ( male ) and he transferred me to the payment line. I made payment and received a confirmation number. Before he transferred me I advised him, the same thing I told XXXX. I said after this payment, I would make a payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Approximately 2 1/2 hrs later, my car was being repossessed! I spoke to the tow truck operator and he obviously saw I was XXXX. I advised him I paid for the car earlier and I need to go back into my home and get the company on the phone and I would get the keys. Approximately 2 minutes later, I returned to the outside and my car was gone and you can see on the loose rock the car had been dragged! I did not find and business cards anywhere. I spoke to a female who answered the phone for Ally, she said she had no idea why this happened!? She tried Call XXXX the repo company. Unable to? I need help desperately. I respectfully request your help. FYI : I had constantly informed different call takers I am a XXXX veteran. I. Said I got the loan papers 2 months after the car was bought and I asked if the 2 months could be placed on the back end of our loan. I was told, I would have to have 6 months paid, before they could even consider the request.?? Therefore, Im 2 months behind. I believe the loan company is a bad practice business and they need to be dealt with. They are bullies. I understand I need to pay my bills, but how can I pay when the company is setting me up for failure!!!!!! On the other hand, the repo company acted in a bullish, destructive manner. I am a XXXX and proud to have done so, but I did not fight for bullies and loan companies who place consumers in a failure modeMy XXXX took pictures of the loose loose stone. Please help me. I need to have my XXXX drive me to my points in the car. Thank-you.

Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: After conducting further research, in an effort to find out why ally bank/auto has been so adamant in trying to refute my Promissory Note, that is obviously, and clearly legal tender with paying off a debt with banks ; I discovered that fraud and a breach of agreement was committed by ally bank. After our contract was assigned to ally bank, through XXXX ; ally bank opened up a transaction account ( s ) in I and my wife 's name, from a Promissory Note that we signed, that became an asset for them, that they monetized, for creating the funds, for what they call a loan, that was really an exchange. Ally used our Promissory Note in exchange for our transaction account ( s ) as legal tender, and yet they say that it is not recognized and accepted by them as monetary tender, what kind of sense does that make! Ally bank opened up a transaction account in our name, without our permission, and we did n't receive a receipt for the deposit that was made from the Promissory Note! Ally bank violated the banking law GAAP! If Ally Bank tries to refute this, then I will demand full disclosure of ally 's Book Keeping Entries per the GAAP, that proves everything I said to be true! Also in the GAAP agreement, it states that the borrowers can repay the debt using another IOU-Promissory Note payable in the same specie of money, money equivalent or credit or funds or capital that the bank or financial institution used per GAAP to fund the loan, thus ending all interest and liens. How is it that ally bank dont ' understand the banking laws they are suppose to abide by!? The other proof to what I 'm saying is mentioned in the Federal Reserve Publication, page 3, it confirms that banks do n't give loans and that the Promissory Notes are to be deposited into a transaction account as an exchange. Last but not least, ally bank only gave me back one of the Promissory Notes I sent them, and even if they would have sent me back both of them ; they still could have made a copy and deposited them. The only way to tell is what the Bank Book Keeping Entries show, if I have to go that far ; all I want, is what is rightfully ours, the Title to our truck, showing paid in full.

Consumer Complaint: Ally 's so-called " XXXX is a total rip-off! They falsely advertise that 'your rate goes UP if/when the Fed raises rates ''. They are LIARS! In 4 years times I was to receive rate hikes when The Fed raised rates - which The Fed did - twice. The first time The Fed raised by 0.25 % I was given only 0.04 %! The second time I got NOTHING except a snot letter from Ally that rates are 'raised solely upon OUR choice ''!
