Issue: Taking out the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: My father had a car lease through Ally bank. He expired on XXXX/XXXX/15 - approximately 20 months prior to the end of his lease. He paid his XXXX lease payment. I am his son and co-executor of his will. I contacted Ally bank in the days after his death and was instructed to FAX his death certificate and proof of executorship, which I did. After confirming receipt of these documents Ally stated that further payments would not be automatically withdrawn from my father 's accounts. I returned the car to the dealership, returned the plates to the DMV, and contacted the auto insurance company. I have since received notice that I owe {$8800.00} to Ally. They have explained this as the difference between their estimated value of the car and what they received for it at auction. I do not have a copy of the lease contact. I was not informed by Ally when I initially contacted them that I would be responsible for this sum. I was not informed that I may want to keep the vehicle, pay the lease payments ( which would have totaled about {$10000.00} over the remaining 20 months of the lease ). If I was aware of this I would have kept the car, made the lease payments and driven it through the lease period. Now the bank gets just about the entire term of the lease paid to them but was able to repossess and then sell the vehicle at a much higher residual value than it would have had had it been returned to them at the end of the original lease period. I could have spent just a little more money over the next 20 months and had the car. Instead the bank has the car and I have to spend almost the same amount of money.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: In XXXX of 2015 I called Ally Bank and was asking about a refinance due to a job loss. I ended up doing a skip a month. However the agent put in the wrong que so I got charged for the refinance charge. I did not realize the mistake until I received a call about a pass due amount, which I did not owe. I have spoken to the bank several times, they have acknowledged they made a mistake, yet they will not remove the black mark. They tell they are but it does not happen. Last month I was turned down for XXXX new jobs because my credit rating dropped XXXX points. In checking, I see now that Ally reported me over 60 days late for a car payment, which is not true, its their mistake that is showing the error. I have called there to get this corrected but they just are not doing anything. I do n't know what to do and I need your help. Ally knows the mistake is on their end, but the collections do not take the time to read all of the history. This is causing me much distress and I am loosing jobs, that I badly need because of their neglect. Can I sue them?

Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Due to a pending divorce, my wife decided not to make the car payment for 3 months. As a result of this, the vehicle was repossessed. Ally financial, the loan originator, sent me a letter on XXXX stating their intent to sell the vehicle by XXXX. Their letter stated that I could get the vehicle back if I paid the past due payments plus late fees and towing charges. The letter instructed that I could make the payment by cashiers check, XXXX XXXX or money gram. After contacting ally on XXXX for the exact amount owed to get the vehicle back, I made a payment of {$2700.00} via XXXX XXXX by phone as instructed per their letter. 4 days later and hours spent on the phone and they still have n't released my vehicle to me. The reason they state is that I used XXXX XXXX speed pay instead of XXXX XXXX quick collect. Nowhere in their letter does it specify to use XXXX XXXX quick collect. I have paid the balance in full and ally refuses to either refund my money so I csn pay via quick collect or release my vehicle to me. Ally has stated that they will apply my payment to the remaining vehicle balance but that is not why I paid this amount. {$2700.00} was paid to ally for the sole purpose of getting my vehicle back from repossession. This is fraud and deceptive business practices. I have also contacted the Missouri attorney general to file a complaint.

Issue: Making/receiving payments, sending money

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I have used Ally as my primary checking account for receiving my direct deposits, paying bills, and using a debit card. This month my mortgage payment to XXXX XXXX XXXX was scheduled to be received by the bank by the XXXX. On the XXXX I was assessed a late fee of almost {$40.00} because my payment had not been received. I contacted Ally bank to ask about why the payment had not been received and was told " We do n't know why it is n't there '', " It hasnt cleared your account '', and " It should have made it on time ''. When I asked if I could cancel that initial check since I have no idea where it is, or if it ever did get sent so that I could ensure I could pay my mortgage over the phone or through XXXX XXXX XXXX 's website instead and not having to worry about needing enough funds to cover when the initial check cleared I was told that there was a {$15.00} check cancellation fee unless I waited until at least 10 days past the anticipated received by date. So now I am stuck with a {$40.00} late fee, a late payment on my mortgage and credit history, and a fee to cancel the initial check that still has n't made it to the bank, which leaves me with no way to pay my mortgage currently until I wait out the ten days, cancel the check, and finish transferring all of my money out of Ally.

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I am asking for your assistance with this matter of relinquishing me from this loan for this leased vehicle. Please understand, I was coerced in this process. Being in an abusive situation for four years I did n't have any rights or choices for myself. There was no option for me to say no I am not co- signing, I chose to LIVE as the option when I signed my name. Now that I 'm free from my abuser I still am unfortunately binded in a situation with coerced debt. I have never driven the car, do not have a key, the car is not in my possession, I ca n't make any transactions with XXXX XXXX, collaborate or consult with him, because I fear for my life. I would like my name to removed from the loan.
