Consumer Narrative
I submitted a complaint to CFPB on XX/XX/XXXX. Ally responded on XX/XX/XXXX. CFPB XXXX XXXX. While I appreciate the response from Ally, they did not address that they ultimately used deceptive tactics to entice me into forfeiting my right to continue disputing the debt and saying that a partial payment would not adversely impact my credit. I did not arbitrarily come up with the amount that was paid. The amount I paid was positioned to me as satisfying the debt being contested. This was in line with a prior letter from Ally in XX/XX/XXXX where Ally proactively solicited that I accept a lower amount that would satisfy this debt. As someone that has maintained a pristine payment history not just with GMAC/Ally but across all my debts, it does not make sense that I would purposely adversely impact my credit score by paying a lower amount. Per my understanding of the Generally Accepted Accounting Principals ( GAAP ) from accounting of Accounts Receivable, it is at Ally 's discretion when my account should be considered a Charge Off. Despite the multiple times I told Ally I would be happy to pay for the damage, they still decided on their own volition to account for this as a Charge Off. I was clear in what was needed from Ally, I remained in constant contact with Ally throughout the whole time in question, and I held multiple calls with customer service representatives. All of these actions refute Ally 's position that I was not willing to pay. If the accounting mechanics mentioned are incorrect, I would ask that you please share the corresponding section within GAAP guidelines or provide a letter from your auditing firm that substantiates your position that a charge off was accounting driven. While Ally did complete a cursory review of the history, there are still substantial details left out. I have expressed multiple times that I would like to work with Ally so that this not be labeled a Charge Off.
