Consumer Complaint: We leased a XXXX Jeep Grand Cherokee through Ally Financial on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. We were told by the Finance Manager at the dealership to sign the Lessee 's Affidavit of Primary Non Income Producing Vehicle Use. He would complete and submit this along with all other necessary paperwork to Ally Financial. All appeared to go through because the vehicle was " funded '' by Ally and we received our payment schedule. We received a letter dated XXXX XXXX, XXXX that we owed {$670.00} ( XXXX Country Property Taxes - {$330.00} and XXXX XXXX XXXX Property Taxes - {$340.00} ) for XX/XX/XXXX and because we failed to file another affidavit by XXXX XXXX, XXXX, we would owe this amount for XX/XX/XXXX as well ( for a total of {$1300.00} ). This vehicle is not nor has it ever been a commercial or income producing vehicle. We completed a XXXX affidavit ( on or about XXXX/XXXX/XXXX according to Ally records ) because we were told the first affidavit was not completed completely by the dealership, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is the XXXX vehicle we have leased for personal use and this is the first time we have been billed for property taxes. And we are being told that we have to pay this even though we did as we were required at the time of the initial lease. We have provided all of the necessary documentation and these charges are erroneous and flawed. We have written Ally ( return, receipt requested mail ) demanding these charges, current and future, be removed from our Ally account immediately We believe the error lies between Ally Financial and XXXX XXXX XXXX but we are told by Ally that we must pay - no exception.

Consumer Complaint: I have been a banking customer with Ally for several years. Recently I got an alert that there was XXXX overdraft fees charged to my account. I chatted in only to receive rude customer service with no solution. I was told in chat ( record available ) that I would not be charged any more fees due to the account being fixed. To my surprise a XXXX fee was now charged with no regard. Contacted Ally again ... .No help at all. I am not sure what has changed with Ally but refusing to opt out of overdraft clearly shows that Ally is trying to hide something.

Consumer Complaint: I went thru a bankruptcy in the XX/XX/XXXX and at that time I had a car loan with GMAC who switched it over to Ally Bank shortly before that. Once we went into Bankruptcy we stopped getting statements and they shut my internet account access out so I could not track or even see any information in reference to our loan. We continued to make our regular automatic payments thru our bank. So, I got a call in XXXX out of the blue from Ally Bank stating I am behind on payments? I was confused and asked for a statement of my account so I could check on this and all they sent me was a payment run of all the payments since XX/XX/XXXX. No balance, no payoff amount listed, no late fees, nothing, just the listing of all the payments and dates the payments we made? So, I contacted Ally Bank back to discuss the balance and the payoff and they said I missed a payment at some point in the loan. Now keep in mind I have no idea when that could have been considering that I have n't had a statement XX/XX/XXXX and I was never notified in writing of any issues period! They said my payoff was almost {$400.00} more then what my calculated balance should be and they said OH there is late fees and compounded interest that I was being charged that makes up the difference. I told them at that point I was never notified in writing about any of this and asked them to send me a detailed statement showing all the extra money and fees they are trying to charge me and I never received anything??? I figured they realized they were wrong and had nothing to send. I tried calling them again but this was such a hassle because my husband is the primary borrower they needed his permission to speak with me every time I had to call because I handle all the financials. Now my husband XXXX who works nights and I work full time days and we are like two ships in the night passing by so coordinating these phone calls were nearly impossible and they would not talk to me otherwise! So, I honestly thought it was the reps on the phone mistake because they did not contact me again after that. Today I calculated all of our payments and I show we owe {$130.00} left on a {$31000.00} loan but the Ally rep on the phone said our balance is {$520.00} and this is {$390.00} more than what I should owe and she stated that we owe {$250.00} in late fees! And the other amount {$130.00} is interest on these fees!! How and why should I be responsible for any of these extra fees if we were never notified?! Because I would have taken care of anything back when they say this happened if I was notified and I would have avoided these fees! Just for the record the bankruptcy was not a personal bankruptcy is was a business bankruptcy and I continued to pay my bills as well as the business bills from our personal funds and we made good on my car and my house! How can they charge me fees for years and never notify us??!!

Consumer Complaint: I am co signer of an automobile account. The payment in question was XXXX 2015. It was paid online and due to insufficient funds in the primary owner 's account, the payment was returned. I learned of this from the primary owner about 30 days after the fact. I was Never contacted by ALLY -the lien holder that this account was past due, and unpaid. If you review my credit report, I pay my debts on time. This XXXX and only delinquency has caused my credit score to drop by XXXX points. I work very hard to maintain a good score and would have gladly made this payment on time if I had been notified by the lien holder. I did not receive a letter/ phone call/email from them stating this account was past due. I dispute this delinquent report because I was not informed of its delinquency. As the second account holder, I should have been notified. I would appreciate any help you can provide to get this matter reversed. Thank you for your assistance.

Consumer Complaint: Ally FinancialXXXXXXXX, MN XXXX XXXX 2015Re account : XXXXOn a turned in leased XXXX, I previously received and paid a bill for $ 190+ to cover " excess wear ''. That bill contained a link that allowed me to view the " excess wear ''. Two weeks later, I received another letter, informing me of the " unearned rent charge '' to be returned to me, less " Excess Mileage/Wear of {$180.00}. This time there was no information that allowed me to see an " excess ''. Your letter did, however, tell me I could reach you online, although, since the lease was over, your site did not allow me to do that. Questions : ( 1 ) What is the exact nature of the " Excess Mileage/Wear '' charge of {$180.00}? ( 2 ) Where is the visual proof of this wear? ( 3 ) Do n't you think it is unreasonable and misleading to send XXXX separate charges? ( 4 ) Would n't you agree that it is high-handed to send an undocumented bill? ( 5 ) Do n't you care about repeat business? Please document or delete the latest charge of {$180.00}, and return to me the full " Unearned rent charge '' of $ XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX, MI XXXX

Consumer Complaint: I have had a loan with Ally Bank for my automobile since XX/XX/XXXX. I have never had a 30 day late, and in XX/XX/XXXX the bank applied an incorrect posting on my account which I was not aware of, at this time we had a dispute with XXXX XXXX due to a program that was purchased when we bought our vehicle. The plan had included having Tires paid for up to a certain amount. When we went to utilize the plan we were told that they discontinued the plan but never notified the customers. We had been advised they could pay the additional amount of around XXXX some odd dollars to us directly for the inconvenience. We were not satisfied and we advise if we would of known this was going to occur we would not of wanted the plan, we did not agree that the funding of the loan should of been charged that additonal amount and be charged interest on that balance. When I saw the amount posted to the account I assumed that XXXX sent the amount straight to ALLY instead of us. I pay additonal amounts on my account every month. When I went to pay on the website the payments showed current, and I continued to monitor the website, I paid every month. The payment was removed from my account a while later causing the account to show delinquent. I was not aware, the website that I have made every payment to was not refreshed. This caused the payment to show being paid after 30 days, I was not notified on time and once I saw it was behind I paid the account current. This is causing them to report me for 3 months being over 30 days late which was caused by their website not being updated and giving me a clear paid to date. The account is never posted with the full amount and the extra funds that I send in does n't give me a clear picture of how they are applying my funds. I have never had an issue with this institution but thier not taking responsiblity for their misposting is causing me a lot of grief with my credit reporting. I maintain good standing on all my accounts. I believe due to this error my credit has been ruined and I am not in agreement with companies being able to such things to customers. I have tried to contact them and they continue to not take responsiblity. They respond with generic responses and will not look at the situation seriously. The customer always loses in these situations and we are not treated as individuals, this company already has my money so what do they have to lose. I want everyone to know what a horrible company this is and to never get a loan with them.

Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I had some unexpected expenses. My car payment for the month was due on XXXX/XXXX/2015. Due to an out of town family situation, I did n't call Ally until XXXX/XXXX/2015 to request a deferment on my account. Up to that point I 'd had a perfect payment record for at least a year so I was immediately approved for an extension, 1 month per my request. I verified my information with Ally. As I have a physical address and PO box , I requested that it be sent to the post office. As a condition of the extension I made an immediate payment of {$170.00}. The actual amount to be paid was {$170.00}, but due to the language barrier, I was n't clear on the specific amount. I was then supposed to wait for my paperwork in the mail. By XXXX/XXXX/15 I had not received it. I called and talked to many representatives who said it was mailed. I was concerned about completing the transaction prior to the 20 day period of the extension terms. After many conversations, a copy was faxed to me. I immediately signed it and faxed it back. I watched my account to see if the extension was reflected, again getting nervous about the deadline and any impact to my credit. Again, after several conversations, I was told it was recieved so under the wire, I made the final payment of {$230.00} ( {$230.00} was the intended payment ) which would have been for the XX/XX/XXXX payment. I would then go back to my regular payment of {$590.00} for XX/XX/XXXX. Upon checking my account for my XXXX payment, I found a past due amount of {$170.00} with a late fee of {$29.00}. Again, after many conversations Ally reps have aknowledged that since the original document was sent to a PO box , that it was not valid. The payment I made to start the process for the extension was not applied to the extension, but my XX/XX/XXXX balance. I have spoken to a myriad of representative in the U.S. and even a manager in collections who acknowledges that this is what happened. They argue with me that I owe this when the copy of my extension agreement indicates no other charges. The last manager I spoke to, a gentleman named XXXX, said he would look into the situation and get back to me. This over the peiod of 2 months is still unresolved.
