Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Information is incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I bought a XXXX XXXX for cash, in XXXX, from XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX California XXXX in XXXX. Car 's identification number is : XXXX. When I bought the car, I fully paid for it with no loans. I fully paid for it when I bought it with no car loans. I went to get the title from XXXX XXXX, on XX/XX/XXXX, and I was told that XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX MD ) is the lien holder and I need a lien clearance from them. On XX/XX/XXXX, I called XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX who told me XXXX is no longer the holder of this lien and Ally Financial, phone number XXXX is the lien holder. On XXXX I called Ally Financial and they told me they did not have access to this older file and higher management has to review it for 48 business hours. They told me they will call me and that they CAN NOT email me about this case. This concerened me because they said they can not email me for updates. When I asked for an email regarding this case, they said they can not use email for this older file. They generated a reference number for my case which is XXXX. I asked why a car that was fully purchased without a loan, in XXXX, had a lien on it and they said they did not have access to the file and higher management has to look at it and it is possible that it was sent to the lien hold section by mistake. I am concerened that they have put a lien on a car I bought in XXXX and paid fully for it at the time of I bought it. I should have the car 's title. Can you please look into why this institution has a lien on my car and they have not remedied this situation by sending a lien waiver to me or to XXXX XXXX. Thank you.

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I was scammed by a company pretending to be a music marketing company ( XXXX page linked to a fake website ( which is now turned off in addition to the contact number ). When I discovered the company was not real, I attempted to reach out to the email address and phone numbers I had for the company - with no responses ever being received. I, then, obtained an attorney to send a Demand letter to the company via the contact methods that were listed. Again, no response AND the XXXX XXXX XXXX informed the address the company was using as their was not and NEVER has been affiliated with the company or the person listed as the CEO and was not an entertainment company at all. I then contacted XXXX regarding how to initiate the refund/pull back from the transactions, who informed me that would need to be initiated by my financial institutions because the contact number listed for the XXXX account was no longer in service for the merchant. XXXX informed me to contact my financial institutions because they could reverse the transactions via a dispute for the charges. When I contacted XXXX and Ally Bank, both have refused to reverse the transactions, even with the supporting documentation from the lawyer where it was determined the company was a scam/ponzi scheme. However, XXXX approved and refunded the payments that were made from my credit card that were also involved in the scam and paid thru XXXX ( unsure how one account can approve the scam transactions, and the other account with the same financial transactions are being declined ).

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Fraudulent loan

Consumer Complaint: Due to my purchased vehicle being damaged and undrivable, I contacted the dealership ( XXXX XXXX ) to activate my gap insurance and trade the car in for another vehicle. During this process, I spoke with XXXX XXXX ( salesman ) and XXXX XXXX ( manager ), employees of XXXX XXXX, who invited me to the dealership to pick a new car and workout a new deal. So, I secured a ride on Sunday XX/XX/2022, to visit the dealership. After test driving a few cars, I picked the one I wanted and was told that arrangements will be made for that Tuesday XX/XX/2022 ( because Monday was XXXX XXXX ), to have a mechanic from the dealership go inspect the car and possibly fix it, or have it towed back to the dealership. Unfortunately, it rained the day of pickup and the day after, so they canceled the pickup arrangement due to safety concerns. Since then, it has been difficult to reach anyone from the dealership to confirm a new pickup day for the car. I informed Ally Financial of my dire situation, that I am handicap and need the car for daily transport to and from work to maintain my employment, hoping they would help, but they just told me to contact the dealership. So, I again reached out to the dealership for a solution, and I finally received a call on XX/XX/2022, from a XXXX XXXX named XXXX, who said she was authorized to offer a {$1000.00} for the car, which would have voided my gap insurance ( per the contract ) and I would still owe Ally Financial Inc the balance of the total car amount, plus will still have to buy another car. That solution just was not adequate and completely unfair to me. This led me to re-review my contract to see if there was a warranty or something that I could enforce on the car. I noticed there were some TILA ( Truth in Lending Act ) and Consumer Bill of Rights violations committed by XXXX XXXX that voids the terms of our Retail Installment Contract. According to the contract, a written certification that the car was in safe & working condition at the time of purchase is required by NY State Law, but none was provided. This certification was supposed to be a guarantee that the car is in safe & working condition, and the dealership would be held responsible for repairs or pay in full for repairs of any unsafe condition in the car. But because no such certification was given to prove the car was in safe & working condition, they are still liable for remedy according to the contract. I sent letters to both Ally and XXXX to rectify the situation, but they have yet to respond to my 14 day deadline, and it's now been 30 days without a response. So I accept their silence as agreement to my demands and voidance of the contract.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: ALLY FINANCIAL XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX I opened an Auto loan with Ally Financial in XX/XX/XXXX. I had previous loans with Ally so I was a repeat customer. In XX/XX/XXXX the start of the XXXX XXXX pandemic the State of Maryland forced us to shut down my businesses. Me being self employed was facing the reality that I would not have any income for my family. I called Ally to explain the situation and was told not to worry they are giving people the option of not paying during this time and these payments would be applied at the end of the loan. I was relieved until XX/XX/XXXX when I got a notice on my credit report that I was 90 days late on my payment. I immediately called Ally and I was told that they were giving the payment deferral but I had to submit a request in WRITING. That is the part I was not told about. Thus my credit report reported the 90 day late which destroyed my credit report. At that point I scrambled to get enough money together to pay all the back payments to be caught up to date. I have been requesting that my credit report be corrected to reflect that I was not late because the company although they told me I was eligible for a payment deferral I was not told the proper procedures to obtain that deferral. I understand that was a very difficult time for all of us but I feel that error on the part of the company should not jeopardize my ability to keep my good credit rating. Eventually the XXXX credit report corrected the error. Unfortunately XXXX credit report HAS NOT CORRECTED THEIR REPORT. In XX/XX/XXXX I paid off the car. Unfortunately for me the 90 day late report is still on my XXXX Credit Report. I am requesting that Ally Financial correct my credit report even though my account has been paid off that they report to XXXX that my loan was PAID AS AGREED and remove the 90 day late. Thank you in advance for your time and effort in my request.
