GMAC Complaint - HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE - My car lease payment

My car lease payment - Complaint
Review by Shell27 on 2009-12-23
This extravaganza began back in September 2009. I made my lease payment on GMACfs.com, like I do every month. Typically an email confirmation is sent a minute, or up to a few hours after making payment. On this day, I received an email 24 hours after payment that read :"Your payment did not go through, please make your payment now." After reading the email, I had to make another payment. I made the same payment on the website, and received an email 2 days later that read :"Do not make payment to your account, your payment has went through, technological difficulties..yadda yadda.." Well, as of that moment both payments went through, and made my bank account negative, and I was hit with overdraft charges up the wazoo.
I called GMAC who's customer service is located in India and the Philippines. They said I can be reimbursed if I send them an account statement. They gave me their fax number, and the statement was sent. I waited a week, no phone calls, no letter, NOTHING. I called a second time, they gave me another fax number to send it to, a number that was completely different from the first. I again, faxed it, and waited a week. And NOTHING. I called a third time, now pissed, going off on the borderline English speaking so called customer service representative who informed me I WILL receive a phone call after my statement was received and looked over. I decided to wait 2 weeks this time, thinking there was something they had to really search for in my statement..maybe looking for Waldo? I dunno. No phone calls, no nothing. At this time my bank account was still negative, and I could not make the next months payment. I had to save enough to bring my account back up to status and my payment was 30 days passed due, which now shows and affects my credit score. I had called again numerous times, and they kept saying "it is being reviewed" At this time, I no longer even wanted my reimbursment back, I was just so livid about the whole situation, I had asked customer service to kindly take the discrepancy on my credit off, they AGREED they can do it, and will fax me an account detail that I could send to the creditor to take my passed due problem off. I received the information the next day, but to my surprise it was another GMAC account holders information, not mine! Someone who had my first name, but that was it! I now have in my hands a womans account #, address, telephone #, and few other personal credit details. I called and complained, and they sent me my correct information, BUT, according to the customer service manager, they are unable to take a passed due problem on my credit.
My lease is up in 2011..at that time, I will be getting a vehicle by another maker, and pray their customer service reps are in AMERICA. I do not recommend using their online site for making payments anymore.

THANKS A**HOLES!

Can you dispute the mark on your credit with the reporting agencies? Then GMAC will have to respond. Good luck.

Ick. I'd probably stop using their pay function, and start using my own bank's online function. That way, if there's a problem, I can get my bank involved in it.

Yeah Goduke, I use my own bank;s billpay information. A lot easier that way. Also, I always check my online balances in my accounts daily. If I saw that they had received the first payment, I would have waited to make another payment until I knew for sure that the other payment was not going to go though.
