Item 8.01. Other Events

Ally Financial Inc. (Ally) is filing this Current Report on Form 8-K to update the historical consolidated financial statements and Management's Discussion and Analysis included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2012. Historical information was updated for discontinued operations and to reflect the adoption of Disclosures about Offsetting Assets and Liabilities (Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2011-11 and ASU 2013-01). Exhibit 99.1 contains the revised and updated financial information.

Discontinued Operations

During the three months ended March 31, 2012, the operations of Residential Capital, LLC (ResCap) were classified as discontinued. In accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, revenues and expenses associated with ResCap have been classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the period ended March 31, 2013, that was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on May 1, 2013.

Under SEC regulations, the same discontinued classification is also required for previously issued financial statements for each of the years presented in our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, even though the financial statements relate to periods prior to the discontinued classification. This reclassification has no effect on our reported net income for any reporting period.

Item 9.01. Financial Statements and Exhibits

The exhibits listed on the accompanying Index of Exhibits are filed as a part of this report.

23.1	Consent of Deloitte & Touche LLP
