Issue: Struggling to pay your loan — Denied request to lower payments
Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC. (MD)

I have been having issues with Ally Financial for months. My mother was gracious enough to help me purchase a vehicle. in XX/XX/XXXX. I had a financial hardship and i was unable to make my first payment and then found out i was about to be suspended from work. In XXXX, I called to see if i can get some type of extension. I spoke to 3 different people. i asked the first representative if i could make bi weekly payments based on my pay schedule to avoid these issues. i was told no and that i would be charged a late fee every time i paid. the second representative i spoke i told them about my suspension and what my hardship was, she kept twisting my story and saying that i was fired which was incorrect. another gentleman i spoke with was rude and stated well were taking your car and itll be repossessed. not even trying to understand my situation or assist me. since then ive spoken to nothing but rude ans disrespectful agents and they have tried to charge my bank account multiple time with a result in high fees. i spoke to a lady last week who again had a snappy attitude stating how much i had to pay and gave me the incorrect information for payment through XXXX XXXX. so when i finally got a full paycheck when i got back to work this past week i called on friday 3 different numbers up to 12 times and was hung up on at least 5-6 times. i then received a collection call ON A SUNDAY. So monday i spoke with a lady who was nice and i told her i placed the payment in the mail. She said she would notate my account and said she would not remove the repossession because i am now 1 month behind. she said once i pay the amount of {$510.00} and i call and let them know and she will close the account. and once the payment i mailed out comes through she will add it to the account later on but i would be okay because then i would only have XXXX to pay. on tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX at XXXX a tow truck snuck into my moms development and took the car out of the driveway. I called ally financial monday morning and the refused to give me the information about where my car is and told me i had to wait until thursday to call and ask for it. i asked could i dispute the repossession and was transferred to the Worst supervisor i have ever dealt with in my life. told me stop interrupting him. i told him i was given incorrect information, and was talking to me like i am a child which i am not one. and then began to speak to me as if i am illiterate or slow. and when i asked him for the information for my car he said no, you can call back on thursday. 


I understand that i am at fault for my payments being behind but i am doing the best i can. i am partially homeless, i have XXXX XXXX  and i need my car. i have explained my situation over and over and they just have been the worst to deal with. I am not sure what filing this will do but if i could get some type if help dealing with this i would be so grateful and appreciative.

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to bring to your attention the provisions outlined in 15 U.S. Code 6802 and 15 U.S. Code 1681a, both of which pertain to the obligations of financial institutions regarding the disclosure of personal information and the definition of a " consumer report, '' respectively.

As a concerned consumer, I am aware of the importance of maintaining the privacy and security of my nonpublic personal information. According to 15 U.S. Code 6802, it is stated that a financial institution is prohibited from disclosing nonpublic personal information to nonaffiliated third parties unless certain conditions are met. Specifically : ( A ) The financial institution must clearly and conspicuously disclose to the consumer, in writing or in electronic form, that such information may be disclosed to a third party.

( B ) The consumer must be given the opportunity to direct that such information not be disclosed to the third party before the initial disclosure takes place.

( C ) The consumer must be provided with an explanation of how they can exercise the option to withhold such disclosure.

These requirements are in place to ensure that consumers have control over the sharing of their personal information and can make informed decisions about its disclosure.

Furthermore, as per 15 U.S. Code 1681a, the term " consumer report '' excludes communication of information among individuals who are related by common ownership or affiliated through corporate control. This definition highlights the importance of delineating the types of information that fall within the scope of consumer reports and those that do not. 

I kindly request that the department of Education ensures strict compliance with these provisions to protect the privacy and rights of consumers according to 15 USC 1602 ( l ). As a valued customer, I trust that the department of Education is committed to upholding these legal obligations and providing transparent communication with regard to the use and disclosure of my personal information. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter. I appreciate your dedication to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security for your customers. Should you have any further information or updates regarding this issue, I would appreciate being kept informed.
