Issue: Struggling to pay your loan

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments

Consumer Complaint: I recently got married and underwent a name change. I had contacted the company various times to change important info on the account ... because I had change my name and info with the bank I was paying my car loan through. The service department gave me a number to call and it rerouted me to the same department where I got the same answers. I was a victim of identity theft so because I had change my name the bank would not allow automatic payments to process as a safety measure. As I contacted Ally Financial several times I was refused information pertinent to my account. At this time I was high risk. The company stated I needed to fax over documents. I asked if I could upload it to the app so they can update the info onto my account. They refused, after months of failed attempts and failed automatic payments I uploaded it to the account anyway and the info was changed. I offered to get on a payment plan to catch up with payments, the company refused even though it was there fault. My lawyer tried to reach out several times to their legal dept to no avail. My husband and I were in two separate locations at the time and I was waiting for my lease to be up XX/XX/2023. I went to stay with my husband to await the birth of our daughter. They attempted to repossess the car on 3 separate occasions without any cert mail applicable by PA State Law. I offer to pay via phone with debit card instead of ACH and the refused the payment. Ally Financial stated I had to pay via XXXX XXXX or XXXX XXXX. I expressed that in the contract it did not state this method of payment. I requested that the fees associated with be applied to the balance, they company refused. I expressed again that the only way I would pay the balance would be with debit or ACH the company refused payment.

Issue: Fraud or scam

Subissue:

Consumer Complaint: I had reached out to an individual online about taking over a sublease of their apartment. They sent a photo of themselves and their driver 's license to " prove their identity. '' They had me fill out an application to take over the sublease and sign a lease to take over living at the property. At the time of completely the lease they asked me to send {$900.00} as a security deposit to a CPA. When doing a quick internet search the CPA was indeed a real person, however, the information they gave me to send the money to, was not to the actual individual. Additionally, the person had me send them {$1100.00} for the first month 's rent and to get the keys to the apartment. I used XXXX to send both transactions. Upon working on sending the second transaction, I became aware that this was probably a scam. I immediately reached out to Ally Bank to inform them and they refused to assist me with stopping the transaction. After both transactions had cleared, I reached out multiple times to Ally Bank and XXXX to work on getting a refund. Shortly after this both of the accounts had been banned from XXXX, which meant both Ally Bank and XXXX were aware that these accounts were involved with fraudulent activity. I filed claims with Ally Bank and followed up on them multiple times. They said to me every time I contacted them that someone would reach out about my case, but no one ever did. I always had to reach out to them in order to receive any updates. Additionally, I received no response back from XXXX. I filed a police report about a person using a fake identity and creating a fake lease to sublease an apartment. I also filed claims with the XXXX XXXX XXXX against Ally Bank and XXXX. Neither of them were willing to refund my transaction, despite the fact that it had happened while an individual was committing identity fraud.
