Issue: Closing on a mortgage

Subissue: Delays with the closing process

Consumer Complaint: Our closing was XX/XX/XXXX. On or around XX/XX/XXXX they requested closing disclosure which is one of the first documents they should have had. I called to ask why they were still requesting documents a week from closing and if we were closing in time. I was told I would get the clear to close by Thursday XX/XX/XXXX. On Thursday I called and was told the original mlo was on vacation and they didnt have the appraisal because the closing disclosure wasnt sent and the appraiser was on vacation. Then after getting the appraisal at the last minute it mentioned some cracks in the foundation. We had already had an engineer inspect it but didnt have a written report. Ally requested a written report which took another day and second report. In that time we had already sold our current house and had to come to a rental agreement with the seller. There was no guarantee the seller would do this but was kind enough to.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: i have been struggling to make payments but i have been paying weekly to help get caught up. when i signed the contract for the auto loan the amount was for a total amount of {$54000.00} which included the loan amount of {$36000.00} and an interest charge of {$18000.00}. after divorce in XXXX i had a loss of income. covid 19 made things even harder and then a XXXX in XXXX just added to the complications. but i managed to continue paying whatever i could to avoid repossession. as of today i have paid {$54000.00} of the total due of {$54000.00}. they still want me to pay an additional {$8500.00} which is just more interest that i just cant afford and they will not accept anything less. i have already paid alot of interest and now instead of paying what my loan contract states they want me to pay a total of {$62000.00} and i just dont think that is fair and that i need some assisatnce as they are sending me letters that if i dont pay a certain amount by a certain due date the car can be repossessed

I moved to TX around XXXX XXXX I got a call about that car, it was a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Man said, I still owe I explained to him like it was explained to me.

Issue: Managing an account

Subissue: Deposits and withdrawals

Consumer Complaint: I submitted a checking account dispute on XX/XX/XXXX for a purchase in the amount of {$590.00} from XXXX made on XX/XX/XXXX. I stated in my dispute that I attempted several times to contact XXXX but have been unsuccessful. I specified I reached out via phone multiple times ( voicemails not returned ), through XXXX messenger ( no response ), and through chat via their website ( no response ). My dispute with Ally Bank was denied. I was informed I needed to attempt to resolve the issue with the merchant. As I stated in my dispute, I have exhausted every possible option available to me to reach out to this company to resolve the issue and have not received any type of response from them. My order has not been received and my refund request has not been completed or acknowledged. Ally Bank clearly did not do their due diligence when investigating this claim and blatantly ignored the facts of the initial dispute. I was promised protection by Ally Bank for fraud, yet they are not following through on that guarantee.

Issue: Getting a loan or lease

Subissue: Changes in terms mid-deal or after closing

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX, I went to XXXX XXXX XXXX, located at XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, AZ XXXX, to purchase a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX VIN : XXXX Using printouts of applicable State and Federal laws, I explained to the salesperson and the finance rep ( likely an employee of XXXX XXXX per banks ' paperwork ) that due to the process of securitization, I would submit one application only, and that they only had power of attorney / permissible purpose for one inquiry to Ally Bank because I had already been in contact with their underwriting. The dealership proceeded to breach fiduciary duty and violate state and federal law by submitting my application a total of seven ( 7 ) times to two separate institutions ( Ally XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX ), and also provided me with an adverse action letter for in-house financing, making eight ( 8 ) total deposits. Ally Bank received six ( 6 ) of those deposits, as evidenced by their own correspondence ( attached ). The dealership violated their fiduciary obligations and exceeded their powers, which resulted in the deposit of eight securities with principal values near {$34000.00} apiece. I was not able to view any of these applications after submittal despite requesting them. The Federal Reserve Act, which helped establish our current banking system, requires that all applications be approved as long as it's been accompanied by some sort of collateral. In this instance, the " promise to pay '' contained within each application acted as a negotiable instrument and was deposited at the financial institutions in a receivables account per 12 USC 1441 ( g ) ( 2 ). Since none of these applications were returned to me, and since ARS 47-3202 allows for the negotiation of such fraudulent instruments, I assume these deposits were credited. As is obvious, the truck was titled in my name before being pledged as collateral within the security agreements. Due to the misdeeds by the dealership and finance rep, I was unable to perfect my security interests and therefore was forced to relinquish the property. I returned to the dealership XX/XX/XXXX because the dealership agreed to return the applications, but all I received was the photocopies of my supporting documents. As mentioned earlier, I still have not received my original instruments nor the property.

Issue: Problem with a company's investigation into an existing problem

Subissue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Consumer Complaint: This is a complaint to Ally Financial , Inc for violating multiple laws in regards to the following account # XXXX. I had filed a cfpb complaint against this company to which they had responded that I had sign the contract. However, in Ally Financial , Inc terms and conditions they agreed not to share my information with non affiliates to which they stated the the credit bureaus is an affiliate. XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX is not an affiliate of Ally Financial , Inc because they are NOT " credit bureaus ''. The only true credit bureau is the CFPB and they DO NOT furnish consumer reports as stated in federal law. If they believe otherwise, I demand that they send me proof that those consumer reporting agencies are indeed bureaus and it must be written in federal law. Additionally, I demand to be sent the book entries security of this account to validate this information. If they can not provide this, then they must remove this account from all consumer reporting agencies such as XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX, and any and all other 3rd party agencies. Further more, this company is violating the fair credit reporting act, to be more specific, 15 U.S. Code 1681a ( 2 ) ( a ) ( i ) states that the consumer report does not include information solely as to transactions or experiences ( payment history, charge off status ), between the consumer ( myself ) and the person ( Ally Financial, Inc ) making the report. Pursuant to 15 U.S. Code 1681 s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) states that A person ( Ally Financial, Inc ) shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer ( ME ) to any consumer reporting agency ( XXXX, XXXX, XXXX ) if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate. There are two inaccuracies with this account. The first is both XXXX and XXXX are reporting two completely different information which is already grounds for removal. The second inaccuracy is that this account is marked as a charge off / cancelled debt and that can not be reported due to the fact that the IRS considers charge off as income. So in addition to validating this debt by sending me the book entries security, I am now requesting a copy of my 1099c that was filed when this debt was canceled/ charged off on XX/XX/2021 as I never received it. Lastly pursuant to the fair credit reporting act, to be more specific 15 USC 1681b, This also serves as my consumer instruction to remove this account from my consumer reporting a.k.a credit reports.
