Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (TX)

I have attempted on numerous occasions to speak with an ALLY ( formerly GMAC account ) representative to provide me current and accurate information regarding the status of my lease account. An Abstract of Judgment was filed and recorded against me on XXXX, XXXX. Since then, the debt was discharged and a XXXX was issued to me. When contacting ALLY ( XXXX - Acct. # XXXX ), they have informed me that there is nothing else needed from me and the current balance on aforementioned account is XXXX. I requested this information to be updated accordingly as I am in the middle of a refinance to reduce the interest rate on my VA loan. Because they did not provide this information, I was denied credit and will continue to pay the higher interest rate until this information is updated. Once updated, I will attempt again to refinance but will be forced to pay at a higher interest rate until this is resolved. 

I called on the following days : XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX. Each call lasted well over half an hour and all with similar empty promises made by supervisors and ALLY representatives. The first time I called, they agreed to email a document that reflected the current status of my account. That never happened. 2nd time I called, they acknowledged the fact that they agreed to email me a document but were unable to do so and would instead overnight me a statement of account. That never happened. I called a third time and they stated that someone from " upper management '' would contact me ( they only made this offer after I informed them my next call would be to the CFPB ). The call never came. 

My goal is to attempt another refinance, while interest rates remain low, so I would appreciate a response from ALLY as soon as possible ; especially given the fact that they have already agreed to this in 3 recorded and monitored phone calls. 

As a Veteran, I have become accustomed to a higher standard of service and am extremely disappointed in how ALLY treats their customers and all their empty promises. Thank you in advance for any assistance you can provide.

I had online accounts setup with XXXX, Experian, XXXX, and XXXX to login and check my credit reports which I have not done for several years. I have a freeze on all these accounts. I tried to check the status of each of the XXXX with the online usernames and passwords we had setup. Today I found out than none of the logins I had established work now. None of these companies ever notified me that my login was XXXX. If I desire to make a large purchase and need to temporarily unfreeze the my accounts, I have no way to contact these companies because my logins are shot. I can find no way to write to the companies to correct these problems that they made. The only thing they offer for help is a phone number which leads to an endless que to waste my time with each XXXX of these outfits which I refuse to accept. THEY CAUSED THIS PROBLEM, YET I'M SUPPOSED TO WASTE UNKNOWN HOURS TO GET THIS FIXED. Why are their online security setups so messed up that they can not maintain a login online? This is unacceptable.

A XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX loan is erroneously appearing on my XXXX, Equifax, and XXXX credit reports. According to the reports, this account was opened on XX/XX/XXXX and the current status is Late. Despite requests sent in writing via US Postal Service in XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX XXXX has failed to supply a contract to which they are a party nor any other evidence to support the claim that this account is valid. They are in violation of the FCRA, TILA, and the Gramm-Leech-Biley Act Under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), a consumer reporting agency is only allowed to furnish information about a consumer 's credit history with the consumer 's consent. Specifically, Section 604 of the FCRA states that a consumer reporting agency may only furnish a consumer 's credit report to those who have a " legitimate business need for the information '' and who certify that the information will be used for " permissible purposes. '' Section 604 also requires that the consumer be notified in writing of the request for the credit report and that the consumer has the right to know the nature and scope of the request. 

Furthermore, Section 607 of the FCRA requires that a consumer reporting agency maintain reasonable procedures to ensure that the information they report is accurate. If a consumer disputes the accuracy of any information on their credit report, the consumer reporting agency must investigate the dispute and correct any inaccuracies. 

Under Section 605B of the FCRA, a victim of identity theft can request that the credit reporting agencies block any information that is the result of fraudulent activity. Specifically, Section 605B ( a ) ( 1 ) states : " A consumer may notify a consumer reporting agency that the consumer disputes the accuracy of information in a consumer report on the consumer on the grounds that the information relates to a fraudulent transaction or to an account or to other products or services that were obtained as a result of identity theft. '' This includes items that were created by an imposter, or those that were created by the thief using my personal information. 

Furthermore, under Section 621 ( a ) ( 2 ) ( A ) of the FCRA, I have the right to submit a sworn affidavit to the credit reporting agencies stating that the information on my credit report is the result of identity theft. The affidavit should include a statement that I did not create the accounts or authorize the charges and that I am not responsible for them. I have attached a copy of the FTC 's Identity Theft Affidavit to this letter. 

In light of these laws, I respectfully request that any and all items on my credit report that are the result of identity theft be removed immediately. I did not consent to the reporting of fraudulent charges or accounts and therefore, they should be removed in accordance with Section 604 of the FCRA.
