Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: Mortgage has fallen behind by 2 months, I have been making payments every month but unable to catch up with additional 2 payments. In the past I have contacted XXXX and advised them that I am trying to catch up but in the meantime I can make the monthly payments. XXXX advised me that as long as I maintain the monthly payments I should be ok until I am able to catch up however, they did say they could send me paperwork to push back the past due so that the account comes back to current. I had accepted this and received the paperwork which needed to be notarized. Prior to them sending out the paperwork I had advised XXXX the my wife who was on the paperwork had passed away from XXXX on XX/XX/2021 and that they should resend paperwork with only my name. XXXX would not resend me paperwork with just my name nor would accept her death certificate to have onfile, this presents a problem when trying to get the paperwork notarized. I was granted social security surviving spouse benefits that goes straight to paying the mortgage each month, I do have backpay that I am awaiting on to be able to use to catch up on the loan but that process is taking way longer than it should and I am working to get it expedited. In the meantime I have been getting numerous letters from XXXX threatening to foreclose on my property even though I had advised them about the situation over the phone. I have not been avoiding talking to XXXX and have been very open about my situation which they advised again that as long as I make my payments I should be ok.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Problem making or receiving payments

Consumer Complaint: I have two instances. The most recent one is my car bill. XXXX $ and some change was put on pending and then the XXXX institution denied and reversed the payment, which they said was returned the XXXX. It is now the XXXX, and my money is still missing, and the transaction on my history has " mysteriously '' vanished. Now I can't afford to pay my car bill and have to pay both payments plus a late fee in a couple weeks. When I get paid, I will be in the negatives because all my bills are due. The first instance where the same thing happened was when I requested a repair for a XXXX XXXX around the end of XXXX. It was for XXXX $ and it was put on hold. That vanished too, both the history of it and the money. I've contacted both merchants and they said the money should be back in my account. I've contacted Ally three times about it, and at first a manager was happy to help, but then he gave up and basically told me I'm screwed because there's no proof. I would've taken screenshots of the pending transactions if I would have known this was going to happen.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: In early XX/XX/2021, I was notified through XXXX that my credit scores went from XXXX 's down to XXXX in one day. Ally financial reported on my closed account that I was more than XXXX past due. I have bank statements showing Ally took my payments electronically and a letter from Ally stating my account was closed in good standing. No late payments or fees on the account. I do not understand as to why their credit department reported this nor have they helped me at all. They keep telling me to wait 45 days for a response from the credit department. I have waited 55+ days now and I just got off the phone with another useless Ally representative saying I needed to wait another 45 days for the credit department to respond. I keep getting lied to from their representatives and this has got to stop. I'm a military retiree and all I get on the phone is someone who doesn't speak English very well and is reading from a prompt card. They have said this is on file but absolutely nothing has been done about it. I called all three agencies, XXXX, XXXX and XXXX. I uploaded the letter Ally financial sent me and my credit scores are still in the XXXX. Please help.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: ALLY FINANCIAL is falsely claiming that the documentary evidence that I sent to them on XX/XX/2021 and XX/XX/2021 was a debt validation request, which it was not. What I did send them was a dispute of " alleged '' debt based on the multitude of ways in which they've violated me as a consumer and natural person. Pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.38, by not responding to these disputes they have overshadowed my right to dispute the " alleged '' debt. However, if ALLY 's intention was to validate the " alleged '' debt on their own accord, they failed to do so by not following the debt validation notice guidelines set forth in 12 CFR 1006.34. ALLY has not only neglected to respond to my disputes in a lawful manner but they have taken adverse action against me for exercising my right to do so. As per a letter I received from ALLY via dated XX/XX/2021 ( attached ), they state " we have placed a restriction on your account and will not accept payments unless they are made in certified funds such as a cashier 's check, money order, or payment through a third party such as XXXX XXXX or XXXX. '' In doing so ALLY is in violation of 12 CFR 1006.14 for oppressive and abusive conduct, 12 CFR 1006.22 for attempting to collect an " alleged '' debt through unfair and unconscionable means and 12 CFR 1006.6 ( c ) for attempting to collect an " alleged '' debt after receiving a cease communication notice from me on XX/XX/2021. Nevertheless, pursuant to 12 CFR 1006.34 I am lawfully entitled to request a validation of this alleged debt, which I am now officially doing. With that said I have sent ALLY and their CEO an official validation request via certified mail, which was confirmed received on XX/XX/2021.
