After a vehicle repossession, Ally Financial representatives repeatedly promised to follow up on storage fees but never did, while daily fees continued to accumulate. The communication failure exposes a systemic gap in lender post-repossession processes.
Lenders Repossess Vehicles Despite Borrowers Being Current on Payments
Borrowers with current loan accounts have their vehicles repossessed with no valid justification provided by the lender. Banks and auto lenders provide no advance notice or explanation, leaving borrowers without transportation and with damaged credit. The complaint has no effective internal resolution path, requiring CFPB intervention.
Banks Initiate Repossession Against Estate Heirs Who Submitted All Required Legal Documents
Ally Financial placed a vehicle in active repossession status and demanded a lump-sum payment despite a successor-in-interest having submitted all required legal documents including death certificate and executor paperwork, and having made several successful payments. Four urgent calls produced no supervisor access and no callbacks. Banks lack successor-in-interest processing workflows that prevent collection actions during probate assumption.
Lenders Reneging on Verbal Payment Extension Promises
Auto lenders offer payment extensions verbally over the phone but deny them after the customer's payment has already processed, then charge late fees exceeding $1,100. Consumers have no documented confirmation of the extension offer. The absence of written commitment requirements creates a pattern of lender-side bad faith.
Lenders refuse voluntary vehicle surrender, delaying resolution for co-signers
A co-signer trying to proactively surrender a repossessed vehicle already located by police finds the lender's impound department unwilling to process a voluntary surrender, insisting on waiting for police contact instead — extending the time the loan stays open and continuing to damage the co-signer's credit.
