Consumer Complaint: My wife bought a XXXX Subaru Forester at a dealership in XXXX, Massachusetts. The dealership submitted a car loan from Ally Financial with a high interest rate. My wife 's name is XXXX XXXX XXXX and she is from XXXX. Because of the high interest, payments were difficult. The XXXX Subaru Forester was ending up being towed for missing payments. My wife, XXXX, was angry at me but we finally got the money for the tow and storage fee and the back payment to get the car. I now have read the Justice Department and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau article by XXXX XXXX of XXXX XXXX regarding the XXXX to settle the minority car loan discrimination probe. In this article it stated that we would not need to do anything. That we would be notified.

Issue: Using a debit or ATM card
Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX my debit card was fraudulently used three times at a nearby ATM by someone who stole my card and pin numbers. I had never visited the ATM in question, and I notified Ally Bank within a few hours of the fraudulent transactions occurring on my checking account. Within a week, I had filed a police report with my local police station in XXXX, MA, and provided Ally with the police report on my transaction dispute forms. After a few more days, a detective at the police station called to let me know that they had a suspect that they believed had fraudulently used my cards. On XXXX XXXX Ally granted me a provisional credit for the entire disputed amount, and I believed the case was resolved. In early XXXX I received a letter from Ally stating that their research concluded that the disputed transactions were " authorized and correct '', and my provisional credit was reversed on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. Ally did not provide me with their research report, and indicated that they had not contacted the police department where I filed my report. I immediately followed up with the police department and the detective assigned to my case confirmed that they had not been contacted by Ally, and that they indeed had a suspect for my case. He also mentioned that it was part of a larger, multi-state FBI investigation. After many calls to Ally I was told that my transaction dispute had initially been escalated to the wrong department, and that my case would be re-opened. On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I re-sent my transaction dispute forms and police report to a different department at Ally. As of today, XXXX XXXX, XXXX, I have neither a provisional credit nor a timeline for resolution.

Issue: Incorrect information on credit report
Subissue: Account status
Consumer Complaint: I have a vehicle that was written off on my credit report in XX/XX/XXXX after it became delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX. It was financed/purchased XX/XX/XXXX.I called on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX to ask for an application to file lost title on the vehicle, as I have done on numerous occasions, since the finance company has indicated numerous times that they do not have a title for the car. Instead of sending me the application agreed upon they immediately went back and added the charge off again to my credit report as of XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. I just realized then that they have been re reporting the charge off every year. at least since XX/XX/XXXX that I can see on reports that I have. This charge off should be falling off my credit report next year, and they have resubmitted it, so that it will show for another 7 yrs. I want this charge off date to be put back to the original XX/XX/XXXX charge off date, as the information reported XXXX/XXXX/XXXX is very inaccurate. You can see from the attached XXXX and XXXX reportings on my credit report that Ally is reporting that I financed the car in XX/XX/XXXX and it was reported as delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX. I bought the car brand new in XX/XX/XXXX for about {$15000.00} at {$320.00} mo. I only had about 4 months left to pay on it when I could n't afford to pay, and it actually became delinquent in XX/XX/XXXX. So it is being mis-reported every year, and only because I called to try to get a title, which I still have not been successful in getting.

Consumer Complaint: My vehicle suffered a total loss in XXXX 2014. My primary insurance paid the amount of {$10.00}, XXXX on a loan balance of XXXX, XXXX which left a remaining balance of XXXX. My GAP paid {$760.00} after a year, waiting for an updated valuation report on the vehicle. Ally now claims I owe {$320.00} because they applied the initial payment to principal as opposed to the total loan payoff. I dispute this amount since XXXX insurance payouts exceed the payoff.

Subissue:
Consumer Complaint: Ally Financial calls on an auto dial system, when I answer most of they time there is no one there, I have to wait for someone to answer ( as long as 15 seconds for a response ). If there is an answer it is a prerecorded message stating to wait for a very important message. They have called up to six times in a five hour period leaving three messages to return the call. ln that same five hour time they contacted my references asking for me, not giving me time to respond. I recently set up a deferment with them on a Friday ( made payment agreed upon on that same day ) and that following Monday morning they called me and asked me to make a payment in the full amount that I owed. Three days after that a received another phone call asking about payment. I informed them I was still waiting on the deferment paperwork and I had made the agreed payment and was told they would resend the paperwork. I asked when it was mailed the first time and the person would not give me an answer. He would just state that they would resend. I asked three or four different times and still would n't give me an answer. The crazy thing was that I received some paperwork from them dated the same day that I set up the deferment. But it was not the deferment info. I 'm still waiting on the second round of paperwork they sent and its been two weeks.
