Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/2022, I checked my XXXX XXXX. I noticed that my score had significantly dropped. I then saw that my car loan through Ally Financial was in collections. I had no idea why. I've made every payment on time. They take the payment automatically from my bank account. As I have set it up this way since the beginning of my loan. I called the number for Ally financial provided by XXXX XXXX. I talked to at least XXXX people who were just as confused as I. They kept passing me on to the next person. Finally, a gentle man named XXXX helped me. He read through the notes and said they made no sense. He said that there was a note stating that on XX/XX/2022 I said that I will no longer be paying my account, but that didn't make sense that was 2 days before my first payment on the Vehicle. he then interpreted it to mean XX/XX/2022, but which makes no sense to me because no such conversation was ever held, and all calls are recorded. He also stated that there was a plan to repo XXXX XXXX, but for what reason he was not sure because he could see from his end that all payments were made on time, never once late. Also, he states that my account was sent to collections on XXXX XXXX which also makes no sense, because my payment date is on the XXXX. Also, it's the day before the supposed phone call. Now my account is in collections. with an extra {$170.00} attached to it. My credit score has dropped by almost XXXX points. I have 3 days ( 11 days at the time, ) for my XXXX son and I to move, and my credit is too low to move into any place now. I've tried to find a room to rent for now, but nothing is available for a single father in XXXX XXXX at the moment. All the rooms I find for rent are either for single men with no children, female only, or single mothers. now I'll be stuck living out of hotel rooms which are very pricey and will not have a stove to cook for my son and I while I slowly work on fixing my credit. XXXX XXXX said the only way to immediately fix my credit was to pay the remaining balance in full, plus the additional extra fee before XXXX, which would be impossible for me. especially with my now very low credit score, I wouldn't even qualify for a loan to pay it off. He tried to get me a discount but wasn't able to. he was so upset for me he started cursing on the phone saying this is all XXXX. He apologized for what happened to me and set me up with a new payment plan starting the next month so I could enjoy my XXXX with my son. After doing the math myself the plan he gave me actually was interest free and saves me {$5100.00} in interest fees. But in the end, the situation still puts my son and I on the road without a home and nowhere to cook. Also, it would hinder my XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX a month. I also Have a XXXX  to XXXX  for the end of XXXX that is paying {$25000.00} that will have to be canceled XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX
