Consumer Complaint: I would like to explain the problem. I purchased a vehicle through Ally Bank XXXX. The vehicle was stolen and my insurance and gap insurance paid the vehicle off. I called Ally Bank to make sure they had received the money, they stated yes and they had no account number of the vehicle. Then, almost a year, Ally Bank started calling. They said that I owe them a month car note {$650.00} and all of these late fees which was over a XXXX dollars. I asked them earlier about whether they had received the {$23000.00} owed on the vehicle, they said yes and that was it. I spoke with someone and stated I do n't understand why I still owe them. Now, they are calling non-stop. They have even went as far as calling my family members on their jobs. They work at the XXXX and they are not allowed to receive such calls. They ( Ally Bank XXXX are calling and asking them their names and if they know me. They have been harassing me and all family member for a number of weeks. I am not working and I ca n't pay them or anyone else. They start calling in the morning and they do n't stop until XXXX, everyday to include Sundays. I have never been harassed by anyone and I have always made sure that my bills have been paid. Ally Bank is calling cousins, friends, etc. and guessing that they know me. They are asking for me at the their jobs and they are just guessing names or just asking if they know the me. Please help me. They are the worst. I do n't know why they are calling all of these people and I only had my one older cousin as a contact. She has XXXX and they have been harassing her and it is n't fair to her or me. They are just calling everyone telling them that I owe them money and it is important that I contact them XXXX Ally Bank XXXX as soon as possible. It is n't anyone 's business about me. Ally Bank is the worst bank because they are stalkers and they call everyday using different numbers or unknown numbers so you ca n't call them back. The one number I tried calling back after they had called was some place other then Ally Bank. I need them to stop immediately, it is very hurtful.

Consumer Complaint: when I got the loan in XXXX 2015, I told the dealer that a due date of the XXXX would not work for me can I change it. They told me yes contact Ally and they will change it. When I spoke with Ally I asked about changing due date, they told me to make XXXX payment then they would. I inquired again on their website and was told to call. The agent I spoke with said it was changed and I had to pay a fee of XXXX for the change. She did n't say when, said I would get it in the mail. Today XXXX/XXXX/2015 I have been called by Ally collections XXXX times and it is only XXXX am. I spoke to them on the last call and the agent told me I have to pay now, today or it wont go through. I told her that was why I changed dates so it wont be late anymore. She kept pressuring me to pay now, or this week. XXXX I was never told of the change fee originally, XXXX if my due date is not until the XXXX now why are they calling still asking for me to pay. I explained to the girl today that XXXX of the month I have rent, utilities, other car payment, insurance and there is just not enough to pay the XXXX payment. the middle of the month is good for me and I can pay then and not be late. She would n't listen only pressuring me to pay now and said I would have late fee if I do n't pay. How can I have late fee on something not due yet? On top of that Ally uses off shore people to handle their calls and they do not speak XXXX very well. Hard to understand them and they can not understand you. I could tell she was just reading from script. I am trying to save everyone time and money by changing dates but they are making it very difficult.

Consumer Complaint: I have had a car loan through Ally Financial Inc. for three years. I have had many issue 's with this company starting soon after. There have been a total of at least XXXX checks that have been " lost '' by this company. Forcing me to reissue the check. The call center for this company is located off-shore. The individuals working in the call center do not speak clear, concise English. They are unable or unwilling to help. Though they have no trouble in using many different bully tactics to intimidate and threaten. I have received up to 10 calls in a day. These calls are robo-dialed, when I answer the phone, I have had to hold on for up to 3-5 minutes to waiting on XXXX of these individuals to come onto the phone. The calls can come every 15 minutes, or every two hours. This company states they may record calls for quality assurance and/or training purposes. However, if told that they are being recorded, they state that they can NOT be recorded. I attempted to be nice in the beginning. I have now become just as rude and mean to these individuals in the same manner as they are to me over the phone. Ally encourages and condones the questionable business tactics used by these call centers. The one time that I did speak to an individual who was located in Texas. I was called " racist '' for having the utter audacity to complain about the inability of the off-shore call center to speak clearly and their inability to answer the most simple of questions. Now, for the first time, my loan has went past the 30 days, due to the fact, yet another payment has been lost, not received or not posted in a timely manner. Which adds another late fee, in addition to being reported to the credit bureau ( s ). I have resorted to sending payment with a delivery confirmation, which is an additional expense of XXXX-XXXX dollars, when I am able to. It is my firm believe that this company is conveniently loosing my payment in retaliation for my not quietly accepting the treatment by the associates, agents, employee and/or representatives of this company. The bully tactics, harassment, intimidation and threats, which are both express and implied, are going to have to stop. If this company expects respect then they need to show a little respect. The added stress that is directly related to Ally and their less than professional business tactics have started to affect my health. I would like for an investigation to be conducted concerning this business. This business needs to supply the requested documentation. I do not believe that a company can loose XXXX or more payments in three years. The bullying and revenge/retaliation tactics need to stop. I am considering bringing a legal suit against this company and will include the mental and emotional distress caused by this company.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, 2015 I purchased a new vehicle and attempted to trade in my car previously purchased from the dealer. At which time the car dealer where I purchased said I was up side down on the car. So I placed a down payment on the new purchase ; that Monday XXXX I placed a call to Ally Car Financial and informed them of my purchase and explained the situation to the Customer service person. At which time I asked them to take possession of the car. The customer service rep place me on hold and stated she would contact collections and explain then transfer me ; she returned from on hold and stated she could not transfer me because collections were refusing to speak with me. I informed them of where the car was located to retrieve and that I would not be making anymore payments. Since they have not picked up the car my credit is being affected by the delinquent payments. I know the repossession will affect my credit which is my decision but the delinquent payments are due to their refusal to pick the vehicle up.

Consumer Complaint: The story began when the guy a the XXXX dealership in XXXX sold me an extended warranty agreement without discussing any details for a much higher amount than prevalent in the market. This I found out the day after I was practically tricked into buying the warrant. I mean tricked because they did not even inform me that for the first 90 days and XXXX miles of the car are already covered. Now they are giving me credit but without adjusting the sales tax of {$160.00} and although Ally ( Financial Group of XXXX XXXX has sent me the revised repayment document, when the bank that I work with ( XXXX ) approached them for refinancing, they are claiming that their records will not be updated until another 10 days. This is also the date when my first installment is due. I believe the are planning to either charge me penalty for nonpayment or induce me to stay with them for the loan. The whole deal was crooked with the XXXX salesman promising to reimburse me for a second key if they could not find the duplicate and then later backing out saying they did not make enough money on the deal. They should have thought of that when they made the promise. I strongly request an urgent review of this matter so that I can proceed with my refinancing and not be liable for any penalty or other charges by Ally. I also request a review of the sales collection and refund procedures of Ally so that other innocent customers who do not fully understand these matters are not cheated.
