Date Received: 2022-02-07

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with fees charged

Consumer Complaint: I payed my bill today, XX/XX/22, which was not late. I was still charged {$71.00} for a late fee with Ally Auto. There is a 10-day grace period. On XXXX of XXXX, XXXX from the executive office called me and I missed the call. I returned the call a few days later. She would not answer the phone, neither did she return my call. I don't see where they are attempting to fix my account and that person did not return my call. The same thing happens over and over with the company and phone reps. I guess they think if they don't talk to customers and avoid them, that will fix the problem. That will not fix the problem, their actions are a sign of guilt of overcharging these fees and refusing to explain.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: I have disputed this account and have reached out to the company/creditors MANY times but failed. This account is being reported inaccurately and incorrectly on my credit report. I was told that Congress had passed the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act ( CARES Act ) to minimize the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic, In particular, The CARES Act places important requirements on companies that furnish information to consumer reporting agencies about consumers affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Basically, during a pandemic creditor can not report payments as past due, and make proper accommodations to consumers. I see incorrect & inaccurate late marks which is a clear violation of my right under the FCRA. The company has never responded to any of my attempts to obtain any proof or documentation that will prove this account is being reported accurately.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Credit denial

Consumer Complaint: Adverse Action ATTN : DISPUTE/CLIENT RESOLUTION SPECIALIST RE : ADVERSE ACTION DATED XXXX XXXX Recently, I, XXXX XXXX was denied an extension of credit by Ally Bank On XXXX XXXX, I applied for an auto loan. As you may be aware, it is against federal law in accordance with Equal Credit Opportunity Act to proclaim an adverse action against a consumer. Pursuant 15 U.S Code {$1600.00} ( C ) and you assume civil liability pursuant 15 U.S Code {$1600.00} ( K ). Ally Bank has violated my federally protected consumer rights : 15 U.S Code 1642 15 U.S Code $ XXXX 12 CFR 1002 Since the letter you sent me dated XXXX XXXX is both a proof and evidence that I have been discriminated against, you are also criminally liable. Ally Bank should resort to reasonable procedures to rectify this affair and compensate me for the use of my social security number. Otherwise, this would be considered an unauthorized use since I have received NO BENEFIT Following this initial attempt to rectity, I will be sending an invoice to collect actual damages for said violations. BEST XXXX : XXXX Without prejudice, all natural inalienable rights reserved.

On the letter I recd from Ally on XXXX, it lists Personal Property Tax amount of {$750.00} & a Less Other Funds Received amount of {$210.00}, resulting in a balance owed to Ally of {$530.00}. I do not owe Ally {$530.00} as that amount was already captured in the payoff, as indicated in the payoff letter sent by Ally to me. Additional background : XXXX I called XXXX to see why Ally sent me a letter stating I owe a balance. They said they show a zero balance and to ignore the letter.

Issue: Credit monitoring or identity theft protection services

Subissue: Billing dispute for services

Consumer Complaint: *THIS IS NOT A DUPLICATE* My family was in an accident XX/XX/XXXX, we were almost in a head on collision with a driver who was under the influence of drugs. I reported the incident to my insurance company and I called the finance company in charge of my account which happens to be Ally financial. I told them the situation about the car and that the car was totaled. Each time I called I spoke with a different person and had to explain the situation all over again. For some reason they refused to move the account to total loss even though I gave them all the information I had and my account continued to accumulate interest and fees and debt. I sent them a {$10000.00} insurance check that I confirmed that they received and still refused to move the account to total loss so that the accident can be reported to my gap insurance so the remaining balance can be paid for. Now they have reported on my credit negatively so much so that I cant dispute it because had they turned my account over to total loss earlier than allowing it to go into collections, the account would have been paid off. Today, XX/XX/XXXX, I spoke with a XXXX from the Ally Financial Redemption Team and his employee ID is XXXX. He confirmed that my total balance is {$44000.00}. He was going to give me a breakdown where all those fees were coming from but I told him I didn't want the total breakdown because that amount shouldn't be that amount, it should be way lower than that because they should've added this total loss. He also kept asking me if I still had the vehicle even though one of Allys representatives had already confirmed that they had the vehicle that they got from the junk yard, which is on their recording. On XX/XX/XXXX my husband found a link on Ally Financials site which allows a person to file a claim for gap insurance. The XXXX XXXX that we owned had gap insurance but this option was never told to me because the representatives never handed my case over to the total loss department after the accident. I have previously spoken to several supervisors and managers who said they were going to get it escalated to total loss and I had even spoken with someone from the total loss department one time and nothing ever came from it after that, no follow up calls, nothing.
