Consumer Narrative
I contacted Ally Financial in XX/XX/2022 regarding an auto loan I was unable to pay after falling ill to XXXX and being without pay for 3 months. They agreed to accept 1 payment immediately and allow me to pay extra for a couple months to catch up. But after taking the payment by phone they continued to bill me normally which resulted in me falling even further behind. It's disheartening to have these guys misrepresent what they're willing to do in order to get a payment and makes trusting anything they say very difficult. They've now reposessed the vehicle without providing me with the required Notice of Right to Cure or the Notice of Right to Redeem. I've contacted them and they've been completely uncooperative, and misleading, with one Agent in the Redemption Department telling me that he wasn't allowed to provide his full name ( XXXX ) or allow me to speak with a Superviror, and that my only option for getting my car back was to pay the full amount past due as well as late fees and that I'd have to pay the company that reposessed the car. These charges have stacked up to over {$4000.00} total. XXXX assured me that that is Ally 's policy and that they have no program to assist customers having these sort of issues. With times being so difficult on everyone, and the Federal Government helping U.S. Companies, including Ally, I find it difficult to believe that Ally would be so abrasive and hostile towards customers and refuse to help.
