ALLY Financial is DECEITFUL
Cliff Notes, if of interest to you.
December 2023 Ally gives payoff amount.
Jan 5 2024 call for title, told overwhelmed/backed up and will get back to me.
Jan 9 2024 Ally cashed my check.
So I call back along with the next 4 weeks for title, told they are still behind.
Jan 9 2024 call DMV for options, since I need my truck for my profession, nothing they can do.
Feb 5 2024 call back to learn my payoff is Now a Higher Amount. They informed me they gave me the wrong amount (that's in writing from Ally) I disputed and ask for manager/director to call back or someone who has authority to assist on this.
Feb 6 2024 I receive a call from a rude nonprofessional lessee buyout specialist named Michelle now telling me a different story that my buyout amount has expired and I have to pay this difference. Time has lapsed at their fault for being behind, not mine. They have been paid, my plates are now overdue and they will not release my title unless I now pay the higher price or second option they want to refund my money so they can try to walk away from their mistake. I ask for someone again who has authority to resolve this since she does not.
Now 3-11-24 I'm pulled over while working, now have a $135 ticket for not having my tags that I cannot get.
3-12-24 I've called back 4 times since Feb 6th being told someone with authority will call me back. Hopefully this magical person Cameron does exist?
Discussing with other financial companies and attorneys, this is Ally normal procedure.
Congratulations to South Africa, who are celebrating their triumphant Rugby World Cup France 2023 🏉🏆
For us sports marketers, this year's tournament can offer important insights into rugby's commercial prospects going forward
This year, the organising committee predicted a €40 million profit
According to Euronews, the majority of this was to be generated by broadcasting rights - which include everything from showing live games to highlights, news reports and social media clips - then sponsorship, then ticketing and merchandise
2.5 million tickets were sold for the competition, ranging from €10 to €950, and sponsors included Emirates, Mastercard and Groupe SNCF (for a full breakdown of team sponsors, see our report 👉 https://lnkd.in/eBGfwCs7)
Professor Simon Chadwick estimates “some fairly sizeable sponsorship revenues, perhaps upwards of $100 million US dollars from sponsoring the Rugby World Cup.”
When it comes to sponsorship and broadcasting rights, the important question is how many eyeballs the RWC can attract worldwide
It is this factor that will drive changes in the financial and commercial attractiveness of ruby, changes that Professor Chadwick predicts will materialise over the next 10-20 years
“Rugby is still in the process of transformation. It is becoming increasingly popular in territories such as the United States, and we're even beginning to see teams and competitions staged in places like China. The US market for sport is still the biggest in the world, one-third of global economic activity in sports has its origins in the US. So the fact that the US is now beginning to take interest in rugby and does see a potential commercial return, I think is significant.”
What other interesting insights are there from this year's #Rugby World Cup?

The Summer of 2024 is providing many great sporting memories with wins for Spain in the #Euros, Argentina in the #COMEBOL Cope America and an imperious victory for Pogacar in the #TourdeFrance plus Lewis Hamilton returning to the top of the podium in #F1. Now we have the Paris Olympics which after a decidedly soggy start have burst in life with Marchand taking the 400M freestyle in a world record time. The presence of the legendary Simone Biles reminds us however that sport does have its issues, an understatement in respect of what was revealed about the world of gymnastics in the USA. There are numerous reminders of the role the law plays in sport much as many argue that the law should stay out of the sporting arena. Manchester City taking an action against the #PremierLeague whilst facing over 100 charges under the FFP regime comes immediately to mind. The courts in England & Wales have seen actions commenced against the governing bodies in football, rugby union & rugby league by former players contending head injuries purportedly sustained in their playing careers have led to neurodegenerative decline in later life.
In the 3rd Edition of the ILG Sports Group Sports Bulletin we have commentaries ranging from the latest development on the concussion front “Down Under”, to an analysis of the risks deemed to be accepted by those brave souls in the Netherlands who decide swimming pools are too tame, as well as articles flagging issues governing bodies, and organisers of sport, should have on their agenda certainly in the UK as well as North & South America.

❶ I've heard a lot of murmurs, but extremely curious to see what moves the Middle East makes across racquet sports (especially tennis).
❷ Despite a bunch of active players, pickleball viewing numbers aren't great. Will be interesting to watch that going forward.
❸ Padel took off across Europe, will that also happen in America?
❹ A "rising tide is lifting all ships" as racquet sports begin to increasingly collaborate...all-combined it's potentially the largest vertical in all of sports.
Great post Andrew! Thanks for sharing.
You have heard right about the Middle East. The UAE, in particular, stands out with over 400 tennis courts and 100 tennis academies, reflecting a substantial commitment to sports development. The UAE Tennis Federation's organization of 480 national-ranking tournaments, along with recognized ITF Juniors events, showcases a thriving tennis culture. Notably, the partnership between Mubadala and the UAE Tennis Federation for the Road to Mubadala Abu Dhabi Open adds prestige, offering winners a chance to meet players and a fully paid training camp in Spain. The upcoming ITF Masters MT200 tournament in Dubai after a 16-year gap is a significant milestone, hinting at a promising future for local players on the ATP/WTA tour. Padel's exponential growth, boasting over 1000 courts, is noteworthy, with adults actively participating in multiple tournaments offering cash prizes.
Racquet sports are booming not just in the UAE but across the GCC, with Saudi Arabia making strides in tennis. This push is drawing in more young enthusiasts, turning the Middle East into a dynamic hub for these sports, hinting at a future where local talents shine on the international stage.
