Consumer Narrative
I turned in my vehicle on XX/XX/2021 to the dealership, and received a letter from Ally Financial on XX/XX/2021 confirming that the account was settled. I subsequently received a bill from the California DMV for registration for the year starting XX/XX/2021. I ignored the notice, figuring the car was now back in Ally 's hands. When I received a second DMV notice, I sent correspondence to DMV, called the dealership and Ally, and was assured it was just a delay in processing title. I have now received yet another notice from California DMV threatening wage garnishment due to the registration fees for a vehicle I no longer own. I have spent hours attempting to reach a responsible party at Ally, and have been mis-transferred, disconnected, or simply left on hold for hours on end. Ally had me call what the agent called " title department '' on XXXX, and I was told this was Ally 's responsibility, not theirs. Ally 's cavalier handling of the matter is irresponsible and offensive. I suspect Ally 's " incompetence '' is in fact a scheme to get me to pay for their registration on their vehicle - this seems like an outright scam.
