Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2020, Ally Financial repossessed my vehicle. I didn't consent to any paper work for them to resale my vehicle, because initially I wanted to pay to get the vehicle back. The car was then resold without my consent and there was a remaining balance of {$41000.00} left for me to pay. By law, I was supposed to receive a bill of sale or some kind of documentation stating what the car was sold for. I haven't received anything from Ally Financial. They also falsely reported late payments onto my credit. I have reached out to the company to resolve this, but they haven't gotten back to me. I am asking Ally Financial to delete the entire profile due to false reporting and failure to provide the XXXX XXXX XXXX.

Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX Re : Inquiry I was looking over my credit report and noticed I have an inquiry from your financial institution dated XX/XX/XXXX. Your inquiry is an indication you access my credit profile without my written consent as a result you received benefit for the use of my consumer credit application and was compensated. However, the consumer was denied. Please make note that adverse action against a consumer is against the law according to the Equal Credit Opportunity Credit Act which codified in 15 USC 1691c and Pursuant to liability under 15 USC 1692k. You are subjected to criminally liability for violating 15 USC 1691 has I have proof that I was discriminated against based off the inquiry date from my consumer report and I received no benefit from your corporation. Your financial institution is in violations of 15 USC Code 1642, 15 USC 1681m and 12 C.F.R. 1001 because I, the consumer, made an application in good faith but no credit was granted. Further, because my social security number ( credit card ) was used and I received NO benefit is proof of fraudulent activity ( unauthorized use of credit card ) on behalf of your Financial Institution. The is an act of Aggravated Identity Theft. If your Financial Institution fails to make reasonable procedures to resolve this matter and compensate me for the use of my credit card I will indeed make your financial instiution criminally and civilly liability for all he actual damages pursuant to 15 USC 1681n and 15 USC 1681o. You will remove this inquiry from XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX. Respectfully, XXXX XXXX XXXX, Agent Without Recourse

Issue: Closing an account

Subissue: Company closed your account

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX XXXX, XXXX I received a letter from Ally Bank noticing me that Ally Bank ( they ) will be closing my account on or about XXXX XXXX, XXXX. The letter did not specify a reason while citing their right of closing any account at any time for any reason from the Desposit Agreement ( ally.com/da ). However, by closing my account on XXXX XXXX, XXXX, Ally Bank will be avoiding fulfilling a promotional offer ( https : //www.ally.com/content/dam/pdf/corporate/offercode/getpaid.pdf? XXXX ) where they are obligated to deposit the bonus to my account on or by XXXX XXXX, XXXX. I have reached to Ally Bank customer service and they refused to provide a solution or fulfill the promotional offer terms. A reason I received from them is that they sent a letter to me on XXXX. XXXX, XXXX asking me to stop certain buying group activities otherwise they will close my account. However, despite it's questionable whether those certain use of my account is outside of their scope of service, I have stopped such use of my account since I received the letter.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Fraudulent loan

Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX XXXX According to the TILA, before a consumer enters into a vehicle loan contract, their creditor must provide them with a Truth in Lending disclosure that contains specific information about the loan. While the TILA requires for disclosures regarding a loan to be made, the law does not tell creditors whether they are obligated to offer a loan to a borrower or how much interest they should charge ( i.e. the TILA does not contain any regulations that place limitations on charges, fees, etc. ). Rather, the TILA is meant to provide information and transparency to consumers so that they can make informed decisions regarding crediting options. The disclosure requirement of the TILA deters automotive related creditors from luring consumers with appealing financing offers that end up containing hidden fees and costs. Many automobile dealers and creditors violate the TILA by hiding or disguising charges that should have been clearly written out in the disclosure. The law standardizes the way that these disclosures are presented creditors are required to use the same terminology and expression of rates in all of their notices. The Truth in Lending disclosure must provide a consumer with information regarding important terms of credit. For example, auto dealers and creditors must include the following information in their disclosures : The annual percentage rate ( or APR ), which is the rate of interest that a consumer will be charged for the loan over the course of a year ; and The finance charge, which is the consumers cost of borrowing the loan and is comprised of the total amount of interest and any fees that may be charged ; and The amount financed, which is the amount of credit that the consumer is borrowing ; and The total cost of the loan, which is the sum of all the payments that a consumer will have made over the lifetime of the loan and is comprised of both the repayment of the principal amount and the finance charges ; and The total number of payments ; and The amount of each monthly payment ; and The penalty amount for any late fees or charges. The information in the disclosure must be presented in a clear and conspicuous way. The creditor must give the consumer the disclosure notice before the consumer takes on the obligation of purchasing the vehicle on credit ( i.e. before the consumer signs the loan contract ). It is possible that the loan contract or the retail installment sales contract will contain the necessary TILA disclosures. If this is the case, the creditor will be in compliance with TILA as long as they give a copy of the contract to the consumer for reviewing purposes. If a consumer does not choose to purchase a vehicle on credit, the creditor is not required to provide a TILA disclosure. By receiving TILA disclosures from auto creditors, consumers are afforded the ability to compare the terms of different loans from different creditors. This way, consumers are able to pursue the loan that best fits their needs. If an automobile related creditor violates the regulations of the TILA, the injured consumer has the right to take legal action against the creditor. Under the TILA, consumers are provided with a private right of action and they can bring either an individual or a class action lawsuit against an offending creditor.
