Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Old information reappears or never goes away

Consumer Complaint: Ally Financial continues to update inaccurate information on my credit profile. I paid their debt collector and they continue to strike my credit report with late payments whenever my score increases. On XX/XX/XXXX, my credit score reached XXXX, and the next day on XX/XX/XXXX, Ally Financial reported 3 late payments from XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX & XX/XX/XXXX, causing a XXXX point decrease in my credit score. This account has been closed for 2 years and paid but they continue to report false and incorrect information that is detrimental to my credit reports whenever my score goes up.. This is a violation of the Fair Credit Reporting Act and I demand that Ally Financial remove this account from my credit profile immediately. I have all the evidence & proof that they have broken federal law. I have filed my complaint with the attorney general as well. I reported this to the credit bureaus and proved they broke the law. XXXX and XXXX have removed the account from my report but XXXX continues to report this.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Credit denial

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/2022, a letter was sent to me from XXXX XXXX indicating that the bank had used a so called " credit score '' of XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX erroneously. XXXX XXXX XXXX, a subsidiary of XXXX, is NOT a credit reporting agency but a consumer reporting agency. Thus Ally Bank used a low score of XXXX from XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX of the factors leading to the denial of my loan request on XX/XX/2022. Ally Bank in black and white wrote, " Information about your credit score from XXXX XXXX XXXX : We also obtained your credit score from XXXX XXXX XXXX and used it in making our credit decision ''. etc. This is wrong! An injustice and misappropriation of a consumer report that has nothing to do with a credit report that determines the credit/spending/earning power of the applicant. Once again, it is merely a " consumer report '' with insurance information and residencies ; absolutely nothing about spending habits.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: XXXX loan was paid in full on XX/XX/XXXX by insurance company and title was released to insurance company. Gap coverage was selected but was not processed by dealer properly on loan documents. After loan was processed and submitted to Ally Financial the contract was determined to be either incorrectly stated or omitted for Optional GAP contract by dealer. This was not my error and Gap coverage was selected and should have covered the difference and therefore no remaining balance was due. Ally and their collection agency continue to report this as unpaid debt to credit bureau. I have disputed this several times. I phoned Ally Financial on XX/XX/XXXX and the gentleman could not locate my account and stated he was transferring me to an Account Specialist but instead transferred me to their collection agency XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. They demanded payment but I did not contact them but was transferred to them by false misinformation.
