My last conversation with an Ally rep ( prior to the repossession ) was mid XXXX in which they told me the department of the deceased is currently working on documents so that I XXXX assume the debt. The first week in XXXX, to my surprise, I received notification that the vehicle had been repossessed.

Today I was told that they concluded their investigation and that the repo is valid. I do not believe they ever reviewed the call logs. I also found out they had a lawsuit against them in XXXX re : unlawful repossessions.
