Based on user submitted entries, consumer reports and public records. They don't represent confirmed business relationships with Ally Financial. Always verify the agency's identity before making any payment.

What happens if you owe Ally Financial money?

Ally Financial will attempt to collect internally first with reminder letters, phone calls, text messages and emails.

If the account stays unpaid after 90 to 180 days, Ally Financial assigns or sells the debt to a collection agency. The agency then contacts you directly.

Why is Ally Financial sending me to collections?

Unpaid bills, outstanding account balances, or unresolved charges. Accounts typically go to collections after 90 to 180 days of non-payment.

What to do if Ally Financial sends you to collections

  • Don't acknowledge the debt or make a payment until you've confirmed it's legitimate.
  • Request written verification: the original creditor's name (Ally Financial), the account reference, and the total amount.
  • Cross-check the amount against your Ally Financial records.
  • If valid: pay in full, negotiate a settlement or set up a payment plan.
  • If you don't recognise the debt, dispute it in writing.

Can I deal with Ally Financial directly?

Sometimes. Contact Ally Financial's customer service or billing department. Some companies will recall accounts from collections if you arrange payment directly with them.

Will this affect my credit score?

Yes. A collection entry from an unpaid Ally Financial account lowers your credit score and stays on your report for 6 years from the date of last activity in most provinces.
