Complaint narrative:
I filed a dispute for incorrect information on my credit report. I received an email from the credit bureau stating that they are assuming the disputes are coming from a 3rd party. They in fact did not come from a 3rd party. l even called them to verify it was me and they still refused to process my disputes. I wasted money on mailing my disputes out. I sent personal information to verify my identity through mail, just for them to not thoroughly investigate.

Company: ALLY FINANCIAL INC.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
This all has to deal with a XXXX XXXX that I originally filed a complaint about ( XXXX ). XXXX has since then given me access over the vehicle I leased and I can finally physically gain access to the car I leased in XXXX. 

My issue now is with Ally Bank, who is handling the lease. My issue is that for whatever underlining problem there was with the XXXX, Ally had the same problem where my info was intertwined with someone else info where I could not create an Ally online acct. to make payments. This went on for months until they asked that I mail in a check of which I did on XX/XX/XXXX. Around XX/XX/XXXX, I was finally able to create an account where I quickly made an online payment since the check I sent was still not posted and somehow Ally ended up taking around {$1600.00} and the check amount all at once. 

After this error, I have requested a refund, of which I spoke to XXXX at their Call center ( emp. ref. XXXX ) and she said it would be 10 days. 

The huge issue is that Ally has reported to the credit agencies that I was delinquent on payments over the time I was unable to resolve the account issue with them. I have spent hours on the phone since XXXX to resolve whatever it was that wouldn't allow me to create an account and now I have my first delinquent payments in decades because of them. 

I need them to remedy this as it was not my fault their was some error on their end that I couldn't make payments but the second I can, they collect over {$2400.00} at once.

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Account XXXX Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to formally lodge a complaint against XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, regarding their handling of two disputed accounts on my credit report : a {$10000.00} account with XXXX XXXX and a {$430.00} account with XXXX XXXX XXXX. 

Despite disputing these accounts for over XXXX months, I have received no resolution or proof of my connection to these accounts. The companies have failed to provide any documentation, including signatures or any other evidence, linking me to these debts. 

I believe that these actions are a violation of my consumer rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, which requires that creditors provide verifiable evidence of a debt before continuing collection efforts or reporting the debt to credit bureaus. The refusal to provide such evidence is causing undue stress and potential harm to my credit score. 

I respectfully request that the CFPB investigate this matter and ensure that XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX comply with all legal requirements. Additionally, I ask that these disputed accounts be removed from my credit report until verifiable evidence is provided. 

Enclosed are copies of my previous correspondence with XXXX XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX, as well as any responses received. I hope this information aids in the prompt resolution of this matter. 

Thank you for your attention to this issue. Please feel free to contact me at the phone number or email address listed above if further information is required. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX XXXX
