As another person stated in this blog-GMAC does not communicate with other depts. I was late 45 days on one of my lease account ( I have 2 with GMAC) and called customer service to get information regarding the account (status of payment sent) they told me that the accounts were up to date after I explained collections called me and that I had 2 accounts-gave the my ssn to look this up... they said accounts were fine, mentioned to them I sent a $900 check-payment. They repo'd my car!!! What a nightmare, rental charges, no car the day it was taken, missed work to get to the recovery shop because my pursue was in the car when it was towed-the rental-pick up the car from recovery (BEFORE 4pm)-drop off the rental, 60 days late on credit for repo, dealing with the idiots at 2 collection agencies (detroit and TX) waiting 2 weeks to get my car back, explaining this to my family and friends, stress (I have high-blood pressure ), treated like a common criminal by the recovery company and collection agencies. Wrote a letter to GMAC an exec customer person called me the 1st time, couldn't find the call to the customer service person that I made. I told her I'd send the stop payment check I mailed to them with date stamp... argued to high heaven... then 1 week later she called back. GMAC is in the wrong they found the phone conversation with the customer service person that wasn't documented. They said I tried everything to make my accounts up to date. The exec customer rep person was really nice, but I am really mad. I am thinking about suing them. I've never sued a business before, do I have a case? I was in default and they send us warning letters, but when I called to potentially (would of made the payment over the phone instead of mailing it) make a payment they said the accounts were up to date. Can anyone answer this one or provide advice? Thanks!

I am contemplating the same thing... suing them. I am in the progress of doing the legal research but I think someone needs to teach GMAC a lesson on customer service. The only one I did deal with that was respectful was Mrs Hill at the Detroit office in Executive Customer Relations (1-800-441-9234) but I am sure you have the contact # already. I also emailed half the higher ups in the company and I believe that was the only reason I received a prompt response. I am supposed to be getting my car back today. If you want any information I have found such as email addresses, please let me know. I will post an update when I finish the research. I know I will be making a complaint with the Attorney General as soon as I get my car back.

heres one for you i spoke to GMAC made the payment arangement, went and made the payment Western Union Quick Collect, & then the following day they still repo my car. Its been a week already i still have not gotten my car back and i also have gotten no where with GMAC. The only thing GMAC is good for is disrespecting there customers and treating them like common criminals. I am currently looking for an attorney to sue GMAC for this mishap this is oviously not the only time this has happened to people.

I totally agree with you people Customer no service. I have been trying for over 6 months to get my pay off amount corrected to the right amount. I actually want to pay off my car all I get is
brain dead people in some foreign country. One girl told me
to take it back to the dealer and get my money back?? I have had the vehicle for over 5 years now??

What happen to all the frivolous lawyers seems a class action
is necessary here.

I am also contemplating suing GMAC. I have had three loans with them that I have successfully paid off with NO late payments. For some reason on my last car loan they keep reporting me as 30 days late to the credit bureaus. I have my payments automatically deducted on the same day every month, two days BEFORE my payment is due. I have proof that I am not late but they don't care, nor do the credit bureaus. I have this loan with my fiance and now his credit is ruined too. I am at my wit's end. I don't know what to do. I have the proof but they keep talking in circles and say I am late. Not only am I NOT late, I pay $100 MORE than my payment every month! I am selling my car and NEVER EVER getting another GMAC loan. They are such pieces of sh*t.

Seems to me GMAC is a nightmare of the biggest degree.
My situation seems similar to many of these listed above.
I never received a payment booklet or payment arrangements of any kind from them. The only type of envelope I ever got had a stub with an eft draft arrangement. I did not wish to have my payment eft drafted. I would call in my payment over the phone (to avoid being late on my payment) and would get a conformation number; which I kept. Or, I would mail my payments in the us postal mail and have record with the payments going thru my bank account. In reality
all the payments can be traced thru my bank account. I have been harassed and verbally abused in most of my dealings with them--most of this occurred at my place of employment on a continual basis.
Their customer service is atrocious; they are rude and verbally abusive. The only thing they did not do was cuss at me. When I called them to notify them of my new address (since I had moved to a new location) the lady I talked to at that particular time was pleasant but from then on it was nightmarish and they would not stop calling me at work. I made the mistake of calling them from work with this new address. I would get threatened with repossession and I would go thru my bank drafts and put together information to fax to them that I had, in fact, made my
payments. I am not saying I was right on time and right on the money every time sending them the proper amount but what I am saying is that I did try to do all that I could to make arrangements with them and in good faith live up to any arrangements I did make. Apparently the customer service from one department to the other does not know what the other is doing and the notes that they must keep are
negative in nature. I think the company must hire the most disgruntled people in the world; at least the most jaded and unhappy ones. And a word to the wise...they do not live up to ANY arrangements they make, nor do they seem to have record of their end of the conversations. I have their statement of payments made and dates but that did not stop them from repossessing my car. I don't know if I have to
continue to make my monthly car payments to them and continue my car insurance as well. To cover my financial interest, I suppose I will have to; until I learn otherwise.

Here's a GREAT one for all of you, (and if you have advice PLEASE let me know Email is kenmccall76@yahoo.com)
In the summer of 1998 I leased a 08 Pontiac Grand AM through GMAC. 10 mths later the engine flooded on what would seem like a normal rainy day in MI. The service center said that it was my fault and I porbably drove through to big of a puddle. So with pressure from my mother in law (co-signer) and only being 22yrs old (rookie) I obliged and paid my deductible to have the engine fixed. After the repair, the engine light would never go off, and sure enough the very next storm in flooded again. After having it towed to the dealership, I was then told again that it was my fault, and would have to pay for the repair again! I argued that it had to be a defect and to please replace the CAR or I will sue, of course they refused and told me I had 24 hours to get the vehicle off there property. I had the car towed to my home and upon arrival noticed ALL OF THE ENGINE PARTS in the front seat.

I hired a lawyer and filed a Lemon law and Michigan consumer act lawsuit against GMAC and Southgate Pontiac GMAC (dealership). After 11 mths of court battles and me continuing to make my payments on a car that did not run, GM offered me a settlement. They proposed paying me back all of lease payments made including down payment and they would take the vehicle back as is, in exchange that I drop the suit and neither part could counter sue. I agreed to there conditions and recieved my check and a towtruck for the vehicle within 24HRS!!! 1yr later they filled a counter suit in a different city, and applied a $5478 balance owed to my credit report, my lawyer appered in court and the judge threw the suit out off court because off our agreement.

Well in 2004 I decided to join the U.S. Navy, my job requires a Top Secret clerence so during the background invistigation the GMAC balance still showed on my credit report. Here it is now 2008 and I'm still fighting just to get the balance removed, I'm currenty looking to hire a lawyer for a defamation of character suit. Any suggestions please email me and the above address.
