Ally Bank is not the successor to GMAC Mortgage and may not be able to assist.
We recommend reaching out to your previous loan servicer for lien release assistance. If your loan was previously serviced by GMAC Mortgage — or is currently serviced by OCWEN (now known as PHH Mortgage Services) — you can contact PHH directly at 1-800-390-4656.
If you have additional questions after contacting your previous loan servicer, email us at lienreleases@ally.com. We'll be glad to help.

Also known as a HELOC, this option allows you to set up a line of credit you can borrow from on an as-needed basis, similar to a credit card. These lines of credit often feature variable interest rates, meaning the interest rate will fluctuate over time in response to market changes. The borrowed funds are usually repaid over several years.
