Consumer Complaint: I changed my address for my account at Ally bank to a local address in XXXX, WA. Ally bank once again locked me out of my account without even contacting me at all and are stating that they need verification that i live at that address. This address is for a food bank. I am homeless and therefore do not have any utility or other bills sent to this address. This is an ongoing problem with ally bank, but not a single XXXX of my other institutions. not XXXX, not XXXX, not higher XXXX ( my student aid bank ), not a single other financial institution has a problem with me or my addresses, but ally immediately shuts down my acct everytime i try to change my address with them. They even once changed my address against my will and without authorization, then tried to lock me out yet again. I am sorry that i do not have a permanent address like most people but surely there are other people this is happening to. my dad retired as a XXXX and had a XXXX for years and never had a single problem, but yet ally wants to give me problems all the time. This is discrimination against the homeless and i am sick and tired of it. this is like the XXXX or XXXX time ally has locked me out of my account and refused to allow me access to my own money. How are they allowed to repeatedly do this???!!!

Consumer Complaint: I know I 'm being charged a very high interest with Ally financial for my auto loan, and the dealership that sold me the vehicle ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX NJ XXXX ) charged me over {$7000.00} dollars more for XXXX insurance that I did n't ask for, along with an additional warranty contract in which I did n't ask for. My vehicle price was {$13000.00} but with the above additional charges my contract says my total financed is {$20000.00} along with a 15.45 % interest rate. I received paperwork regarding the settlement for and Ally has n't modified my loan, so I 'm still paying the same high interest rate, which I can not afford and this has affected my credit, to the point I ca n't even refinance with another lender due to the negative reports from Ally Financial on my credit report. I want to get out of this loan and have my credit report corrected due to the unfairness Ally financial and XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX NJ has caused me to endure. It 's bad enough that I have been discriminated against because of my race, which I would n't have known about if it was n't for the information from CFPB, but this is affecting my credit in a negative matter where I ca n't even get a lender to refinance me.

Consumer Complaint: Hi I have a dispute with Ally Financial we traded in our lease car at XXXX XXXX and bought a truck they let us out of our lease early and added on our new loan. We did this on XXXX XXXX, XXXX called them and got the pay off and everything was ok. Now Ally is saying we owe them over XXXX dollars because we still own the car we faxed them everything they needed we do n't own the car anymore first Ally said we needed to sign a paper because my husbands name is still on the title so we took care of that then they call us and say we are behind two payments because we still have the car and we did n't they say they still need more money that the pay off was wrong. Not our fault they have everything they need and wo n't close our account we were never late with our payments we traded in the car before our payments was due now my credit is taking a beating because of this I will never deal with XXXX or Ally ever again because the car dealership is not helping us either. I do n't know what to do next can I get a lawyer on this at what type of lawyer. and how can I restore my credit from this it is Two months now and nothing we do is working with Ally.

Consumer Complaint: RE : XXXX amended this complaint to note that Ally refused to refund monies to my account that were fraudulently charged by XXXX XXXX XXXX repair. XXXX badly scratched my glass lenses, refused to refund my monies of {$55.00}. I completed a XXXX page form for the bank and they did nothing. The glass lenses can not be photocopied and sent to the bank which they improperly requested. As it turns out, this merchant has a reputation for this conduct and is being sued by their former parent company for this fraudulent conduct. I have never been put to this trouble before by a bank. I want the monies refunded NOW. Neither has Ally reopened my account. It was overdrawn by just {$6.00} because I was waiting for refund to be made which the bank did receive. I was also waiting just a few days for my SS check to be deposited. when a single person names XXXX closed it on his own accord per my earlier complaints about their poor customer service. I WANT ACTION NOW!!!!! not later

Consumer Complaint: I am serving on XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. My family and I have received orders to report to XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX, our exact date of departure is undetermined. We are permitted to take a vehicle with us to XXXX. The company which ships the vehicles requires either a clear title, or a letter of approval from a vehicle lien older. Sometime in XX/XX/XXXX I contacted Ally Bank and requested a letter of authorization to ship my vehicle to XXXX. I was told they would not be providing me such a letter. I purchased my vehicle back in XX/XX/XXXX. The total cost of my vehicle was over {$17000.00}. My vehicle is currently worth {$6000.00} and I currently owe approximately {$7000.00}. I do not have the funds available to immediately pay off the remaining balance. I have contacted other banks asking about refinancing the vehicle and was told they wo n't do it because the value of the car is less than the amount still owed. I am current on all payments on my car loan. Although I was late making XXXX payments over the past four years, those payments were made very shortly after their due date. Having a vehicle in XXXX would help my wife and children tremendously. If I am not allowed to ship my vehicle, I have no idea how or where I would store the vehicle for the three years we will be stationed in XXXX. I do not have a copy of my financing agreement with Ally readily available, as nearly all of my personal belongings are packed up and ready to ship XXXX. Even if such a clause exists in their financing agreement prohibiting transporting vehicles outside the country, I believe such a clause would be unconscionable for military service members. I do n't know if it is Ally 's policy to not provide any service member with this type of authorization letter, or if I am being singled out for some reason. Regardless, I would have never financed with Ally had I known they would deny me the ability to take my vehicle with me to an XXXX duty station. I am requesting any assistance available in obtaining an authorization letter to ship my vehicle.

Consumer Complaint: The XXXX cadillac was wrecked XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. Ally was notified on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX that the car was total loss by XXXX insurance. At that time the insurance company requested the necessary documentation for the title. I completed my POA and returned to XXXX before XXXX/XXXX/XXXX. On XXXX, I received a call from Ally 's collections department. I advised the rep of situation and stated the check should be sent to pay off the debt. I called XXXX on XXXX, they stated all the documents had not been received and that Ally is known to send half of the information however the rep stated would request again. I received another call from collections and advised them again that this was to be taken care ... long story short - I have been on the phone with Ally and XXXX for several hours each week to get resolution. Finally on XXXX a check was over night to Ally. I get collection call on XXXX from Ally, I ask why are you calling a check was sent and signed by XXXX XXXX on XXXX at XXXX. Of course no body knows! Then I am finally told it takes 2 to 3 business to post payment. Ally 's customer service is horrible and this should not reflect by credit history negatively. I should not have to spend hours on the phone regarding paper needed to pay off a loan. This type of procedure should be common procedure that loan companies and insurances deal with all the time, but ever one just wants to point the finger at the other.

Consumer Complaint: We leased a vehicle with ALLY Bank, that was mistake # XXXX. Here is what happened. My wife drives our XXXX children to school every morning and uses the XXXX lane. And according to the US Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration, children count as passengers. Apparently one morning, a police officer must not have been able to see the children in the car, and instead of pulling my wife over ( and realizing there were XXXX people in the car ), he just took down the plate number and sent a summons. Here is where the problem begins ... .because it is a leased vehicle, the summons went to ALLY Bank, not to me. So we had no idea this happened. Months go buy and I get a letter in the mail from ALLYthat I owe the summons amount and that they are about to pay it for me. So I immediately call them and tell them not to pay the summons becuase we need to fight this because we never touch the XXXX lanes where we live except to go to school with the kids in the car. Fast forward a month or so and I get a bill saying that I owe ALLY for the summons and I called again and said what about us fighting this? ... we definitely didnt break any rules and this is when Ally 's horrendous customer service kicked in. I must have called and spoken XXXX different people and every one of them had a different answer with the last volatile person telling me that it is too bad, you have to pay it because we paid it for you. Again, I repeatedly told them not to pay and to fight it. It isnt even about the money, it 's the prinicpal of the thing. So because ALLY Bank is lazy and no one on their end wanted to do their job, I am stuck with a fee that I should n't have to pay but they threaten to go to a collections agency to mess up my credit. This is unfair and shouldnt be how people are treated. Obvioulsy this bank lost a customer for life.

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a XXXX Hyundai Santa Fe from XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX XXXX SC on XXXX XXXX 2015. After reviewing the contract and after the contract was already sent to the lien holder ( Ally bank ), I decided that I wanted the gap coverage of {$790.00} and the extended service warranty of {$1500.00} charges returned to me or my lien holder. After fighting with the dealership and being told lie after lie I finally got my money back. The amount of {$1500.00} was sent toAlly bank and applied to my account on XXXX/XXXX/2015. The amount of {$790.00} on XXXX/XXXX/2015 was also eventually sent after a complete run around of who should refund this money. I looked at my payment history with Ally and noticed that the amount of {$1500.00} was posted which made me very happy. Then when checking my history again I noticed that the amount had been reversed and never has been reposted. I called Ally, spoke with XXXX ( XXXX/XXXX/15 ) and was asking why this was done and I would like to know where my money was. They stated the reason it was reversed was due to that it was a service warranty and that they had taken interest on the amount so they needed to correct that mistake. It has been two months to correct that mistake. I called Ally again on XXXX/XXXX/2015 and spoke with XXXX she could not answer my questions so I asked for a supervisor. I then spoke with XXXX who told me that after checking with someone that he could not give me a date when my money would be reposted to my account. He did n't want to add to my frustration and would not give me a reason why it was taking so long or why I could not have a date for expecting my money to be there in my account. I addressed also that the {$790.00} gap coverage warranty was posted and that they had taken out interest on that so I wanted that reversed also and the interest taken off. Today is XX/XX/XXXX and in 3 days as you can see from my attachments that has been taken care of - even though they reposted as if they did it on XXXX/XXXX/15 when it was n't done until the last XXXX days. As you can see the amount of {$1500.00} has not reposted to my account. I do not know why you have to fight so hard for your money but if I owed them they would want their money now. I have my car payments in a timely manner, never late. I would just like the same respect and I wish there was someway I could get back all the time and frustration that I have spent on this commitment. Fighting with the dealership and now this bank. I have put in many hours talking to people, arguing and being lied to. I just want my money posted to my account and treated like they would want to be treated. They want me to pay them money toward the loan and I want them to post what is owed back to the loan. Thank you!

Consumer Complaint: My car was repossessed XXXX XXXX, 2015 and i had an amount due of XXXX including past due charges finance charges as well as the repossession fee of XXXX. I had a month to do so it took Ally Financial 5 days to give me information on redeeming my vehicle. When i finally received the information i started gathering my funds. They gave me a month to pay the XXXX in FULL, they were not taking partial payments. I up called the tow yard to see how much a day was the fee and they stated " For ally we do not charge for storage fee '' Ally tried adding on XXXX $ of storage fee onto the top of the XXXX. Every time i called i had to explain to them the place my car was held had no storage fee some representatives refused to remove the fee. I ended up redeeming my vehicle paying XXXX in FULL on XXXX XXXX, 2015 i did receive an 7 day extension to redeem my vehicle. After bringing my account down to XXXX $ they added a hidden fee of XXXX on my account a couple days later which is adding late charges to my account. Its now XXXX XXXX, 2015 I 've been calling Ally explaining my situation for 3 weeks now and they have still done nothing, all the of reps claim they will note my account and they note very little leaving me a whole story to explain they told me i have to talk to redemption and i did call them as well as the tow yard and redemption states " we did not put any charges on your account because we would n't have released the vehicle if there were remaining charges left, you have to pay the amount owed before redeeming your vehicle ''. So i then called the storage company and they states " There are no charges left pending for that car ''. So that leaves me to believe they added some random charges to my account and they are trying to cover their selves. I spoke with a lady in Texas and she told me that i probably wont be able to dispute the charges because its something i owe. When state law states all charges must be paid in full before redeeming your vehicle. Im paying my care note on time and trying to refinance my car and i cant because of charges on my account.
