Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Lender trying to repossess or disable the vehicle

Consumer Complaint: I have a loan with ally bank I had not received any statements for well over XXXX months so I entered a formal billing dispute and withheld payment following ucc and cfr laws I also notified a them and they say they never received my correspondence nor the remittance coupon for the remainder amount of XXXX. They didn't respond to either so following the law I had also notified them per ucc the no adverse action could be taken until the issue was resolved and since the check wasn't returned I waited in good faith believing they had accepted the check for value being that it wasn't returned nor was any notification sent to me about repossession. They did take the car and now say it's my fault. So so far I have filed a police report. And would like my property returned because the did receive my certified letter and were given the allotted time. But as far as I'm concerned I still have no resolution for my billing dispute and I followed the law. Yet they are in dishonor and the alloted time expired so according to law the balance should go to XXXX. But they say the laws don't pertain to them and went ahead with adverse action of repossession. And I would like my property back. I sent certified mail to ally with the formal billing dispute on XX/XX/2022 they received that and the XX/XX/XXXX and XXXX. And I claimed the remit coupon and was made out for the balance remaining. And received nothing and so as the law states I believed in good faith they accepted it since it wasn't returned or no statement to the contrary

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with paying off the loan

Consumer Complaint: I paid my auto loan off in full in XX/XX/XXXX. After all the payments went through I received an email from the company saying that the loan was paid off and the title would be sent to me. I got the title and a letter from the company dated XX/XX/XXXX stating that the loan had been paid off. There is a signature on the title showing Release of Lien from Ally Financial dated XX/XX/XXXX. I logged into my account XXXX last time at the beginning of XXXX to confirm that my balance was showing XXXX, which it was. Starting on XX/XX/XXXX I started getting calls from Ally saying that my account was now overdue. I also got a letter in the mail from them asking for payment on XX/XX/XXXX. Other than my title in XXXX, I got no other letters, emails, texts, or phone calls from Ally in regards to my Auto loan. On Monday XX/XX/XXXX I called and was transferred around several times before finally speaking to someone who said that my loan was indeed paid off and that it would be marked as completed, I would not be bothered by collections any more. I am still getting phone calls saying that my account is overdue and demanding payment, all recorded with no option to speak to an agent. When I try to call their customer support and speak to person I am transferred around and eventually hung up on without resolution to my problem. I am now extremely concerned that not only will my credit score be affected by them claiming I have a late payment ( even though my credit report shows the loan closed ) but that I will have to deal with the company trying to repossess my car, even though it is paid off in full and I have the title. I can not get anyone at the company to give me a straight answer and am sick of being hung up on without ever getting any sort of resolution.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: Ally Bank uses misleading language regarding wires on their website to avoid committing to sending same day wires. They say that wires need to be " reviewed '' by XXXX to be sent same day instead of " received. '' There is no other guidance on when to send in your wire to get it out same day, so the implication is that XXXX is the cutoff to request a wire. You don't know that your wire won't be sent until it doesn't go through. They do this, so they don't have to acknowledge that they don't send same day wires. It might not be fraud, but its intentionally vague. I'm sure many people have had issues with large our payments due to this language, for example home purchases.
