Issue: False statements or representation
Subissue: Attempted to collect wrong amount
Consumer Complaint: XXXX XXXX is a very unethical company they have purchased debt from Santander consumer claiming that I owe them now XXXX without explanation I have requested information from them the information that was sent was incorrect. They created a ledger and titled it " Santander transaction history '' as if the file sent was from Santander when in fact it was not. The information on the ledger was incorrect and was not in correspondence with the original explanation of calculation of surplus of deficiency. XXXX claims I owe XXXX and Santander said I owed XXXX XXXX management has yet to clarify why they are requesting the number they are and where the credit of XXXX has came from. On the ledger they created they have claimed I did not pay my car note for the month of XXXX in which I did and sent the proof of statement for that month. It is against my consumer rights to try to collect on an incorrect amount. I have tried my absolute best to get this company to right there wrongs they will not. I have sent a letter breaking down WITH PROOF how they amount they was trying to collect on was incorrect they sent a letter stating that the information was not substantial for dispute! I truly believe the CFBP needs to seriously investigate this company as they are violating consumer rights and defaming me. This collection being on my credit is so detrimental to my life I have tried over and over to get them to remove because they can not verify the debt and they will not this is literally ruining my life. I am a struggling single mother and there are rules and regulations in life that I must abide by regardless of that and I believe companies should do that as well. I live my life with integrity and if I am wrong I will make things right. This company has no morality and does not abide by the laws written for them and I believe they should be truly looked into. You should not run a company disguising yourself as help for the consumer when you're screwing them to collect dollars when you bought the debt for pennies. Its disgusting.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Consumer Complaint: Im XXXX, I called Santander to inform them to come and pick up vehicle because it was involved in an accident and was not drivable. I did not want to pay for a car I could no longer drive. They eventually came to pick up vehicle and sold it according to their records for {$3400.00}. I did my due diligence and found that the car was worth {$15000.00} and now the bank wants me to pay almost close to what the car was financed for after the sale of the car ( XXXX XXXX ). I am not sure why I owe so much after they sold the vehicle which they could have sold the car for so much more making my balance next to nothing I owe.

Subissue: Problem with fees charged
Consumer Complaint: I currently have a loan with Chrysler Capital under my previous married name XXXX XXXX. The vehicle purchased XX/XX/XXXX is a XXXX XXXX XXXX. The loan Matured XX/XX/XXXX with a six month extension based on payments put to the end of the loan. There were no payments missed for the time period and now there is a balance past due of XXXX. When I contacted Chrysler capital to ask why is there still a balance I was told it was because of interest and fees in association to the six payments put to the end of the loan. Confused. I questioned why isn't it considered paid in full because there have been no missed payments. And the response was interest and fees and the balance remaining is due in full and I am currently paying the same amount monthly of XXXX which was the original monthly payment and still being charged interest and late fees every month and a statement that says balance due XXXX and considered 41 days past due, and my XXXX credit score dropped XXXX points as Chrysler Capital has reported XXXX 30 days late. This loan has been the worst experience ever.

Issue: Improper use of your report
Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize
Consumer Complaint: To Whom it may concern, 2nd Attempt According to my most recent credit report, your company is currently reporting to XXXX a major credit bureaus that I applied for credit with your organization. I did not grant you this authorization to review my credit report. I do not know if that would be considered fraud or error. In accordance with Law 15 USC 168b : Permissible purpose of consumer reports include : employment, insurance, CREDIT, gov charge cards, child support, ext. COMPANY MUST prove they had your permission! The Fair Credit Report Act requires that a creditor be able to verify the written authorization of the consumer giving the creditor permission to review their credit. If you can provide a copy of the application authorizing the disclosure of credit files with my signature, I will accept the inquiry. ( I understand this may be done electronically but consent is still needed ) If a signed authorization can not be found please remove the inquiry from XXXX, a main credit bureau. The presence of this inquiry is adversely affecting my credit report and is impeding my ability to obtain necessary credit. Time is of the essence soI would greatly appreciate a response from you within thirty ( 30 ) days. Please mail me the copy of the signed application or letter indicating your intention to delete the inquiry. Best Regards,

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: This company is continuing to report a 30 day late when in fact it was an accident and total loss and they were paid out. After the accident when I report the accident to the company I asked what I have to do going fwd and the lady on the phone said that if the accident was reported to my insurance and I said yes. She then said the insurance company would handle the rest of it from their end. When I asked about how the payout works she said that as long as the gap insurance covered the balance then should be nothing else owed but if not I could owe. I then told her that XXXX already said they were covering the full cost. She then said that I should be fine and then I did not have contact with them until later when I seen a 30 day late. So for years I have been trying to get them to remove the late. They have record of when the accident was. They have the full payout so there was nothing else I could have provided. To have this remain on my credit and hurt my credit serves them no purpose. Their company gets nothing out of it but I have been continued to have this as a mark against me. There was nothing for me to hide or not pay them for outside of the fact it was a total loss and they were getting the payout from the insurance company.

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt was result of identity theft
Consumer Complaint: This company has infringed on my right to privacy, I have never given this company any right to have my personal information. This company is trying to collect on an alleged debt. This company reported unverified inaccurate information to the consumer reporting agencies, which has greatly harmed my ability to offer or extend my credit to other financial institutions. This is against federal laws. This account is not mine and was opened using my personal identification without my consent. When any furnisher of information is notified pursuant to the procedures set forth in Section 605B that a debt has resulted from identity theft, the furnisher may not sell, transfer, or place for collection the debt except in certain limited circumstances. Section 615 ( f ). Ive also never given this company permission to contact me which according to the FCRA is also against federal laws. I have asked numerous times for this company to stop furnishing false information to the CRAs and also for them to stop contacting me. My next step will be to file suit. This is my last time asking to please remove this account, its not mine.

Consumer Complaint: I financed a XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX of XXXX and last week while driving the car just completely shut off while driving on the highway in the middle of the night with no warnings. I get the car towed to a dealership the following day only to be informed that the motor had went out and that this was a known issue for this make a model vehicle. I contacted XXXX and Santander only to be told there's nothing any of them can do for me and that I'd have to pay over XXXX XXXX to get the motor replace. There's no way in XXXX that consumers should be punished for defective vehicles with well known issues or for any issues for that matter for defects that are beyond our control. I refuse to pay for something I didn't do and I'm exploring all of my options allowed under the law to put a stop to this. I will not be punished and forced to come up with money I don't have to fix something I didn't cause. This is ridiculous. I will be going to the FTC and Attorney Genral and whoever else I need to go to to get this matter resolved.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Subissue: Account status incorrect
Consumer Complaint: This was brought to our attention from underwriting for a home mortgage and we are under contract and two weeks from closing. One payment from XXXX during the pademic is preventing my approval and the negative information should not have been reported. I'm referring to year XXXX which was a difficult year financially for my household. We were having challenges with our car payment. I received an extension on my account in XXXX and made a payment it was stated that the payment went towards XXXX but if I was approved for an extension in XXXX why was my credit reported that I was 30days late in XXXX and XXXX. I then was approved for a pandemic hardship program that allowed me to make one payment which I made in XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX payment and was approved for two past months XXXX and XXXX or XXXX and XXXX to be deferred to the end of the loan and my payments would be up to date nothing reflecting late. They stated that even though the program was approved and everything was up to date it still showed late payment and had to be reported automatically through the system. The way they report is a month delay or behind and it does not reflect the current account status that was reported to the agency. XX/XX/2021 was not a late payment on my account I was approved for an extension for that month and made a payment as well as made a payment in XX/XX/2021 and received approval for pandemic hardship XX/XX/2021 that took two past payments XXXX and XXXX that moved them to the end of the loan and my account was placed in a current status. But the report was reported for XX/XX/2021 as late. I am requesting for the XX/XX/2021 late payment to be removed from all credit reporting agencies because the information is not correct it was reported wrong.

Consumer Complaint: I made a complaint with CFPB. Santander has since sent me letters using my name without my written prior consent. Santander treated my demand for removal as an identity theft complaint. I received notice that I put in a dispute but I put in a demand to comply with notice. The creditor doesnt have my written consent nor have a permissible purpose according to : 15 USC 1681 Section 602, 15 USC 1681 Section a section 2 and 15 USC 1666b
