In XXXX XXXX, I returned a vehicle I had been leasing since XXXX and purchased a XXXX Pontiac G8GT. From XXXX XXXX - XXXX XXXX I made my monthly payments of {$500.00}. I believe there was XXXX instance that my payment was late but stilling paying within that month. When I purchased the vehicle, I elected to buy a new car warranty as well as Gap insurance. In XXXX XXXX my vehicle was parked outside my home and was rear ended by a XXXX high school girl distracted at the wheel. My vehicle sustained over {$17000.00} in damage and was deemed a total loss. At the time of the accident I carried full coverage insurance through XXXX and also carried Gap insurance coverage. My insurance company paid over {$21000.00} towards the vehicle because the girl at fault was uninsured. The remaining balance of approximately {$850.00} should have been covered by the Gap insurance I paid for monthly. After all deductions made and refunds calculated Ally sent me a statement advising me that I owed the above balance. How is that possible? The entire reason I purchased Gap insurance was to cover additional costs not covered by my personal insurance company. I disputed this with Ally for several months. Ultimately, fighting a losing battle I paid Ally The REMAINING balance they claimed I owed. At which point, ALLY proceeded to report my account as a charge off. Which negatively affected my credit rating.
