Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
I have received multiple calls from the company to collect the ammount I owe. I currently lost my vehicle during hurricane XXXX due to a XXXX and the vehicle was declared Totaled by a local shop. My vehicle XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to pay XXXX towards the debt in order to finalized my total loss claim. My Insurer needs the Lien holder Paperwork in order to pay them directly the amount that they are paying me for the totaled vehicle but it has been over 3 weeks already since they have been waiting for that paperwork. Whenever I have spoken to ally over the phone i've told multiple representatives the situation and have told them to transfer me to the total loss department, whenever they do that I am sent to a dead line. Its very frustrating because I am not avoiding them nor trying to skip paying this loan off to get it off my credit.

Whenever they call back they repeat the same scripted conversation regarding me owing them the monthly payments and they don't keep any records of the conversations and my requests. I have also tried the secured messaging via their app and yet they just answer with a scripted message saying that due to the nature of my request I need to contact them to their XXXX number, this is the same number that I have attempted multiple times to finalize my Insurers claim. This situation has me depressed at this point since there's no local office for them and I am sure that they will instruct me to send mail to their hq or say that they can not help me. I am already unhappy from losing my method of transportation and my local vehicle.
