Consumer Complaint: on XX/XX/22 I went into XXXX XXXX of XXXX ( XXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX, NC ) for a consumer credit transaction. a month or so later i began receiving postcards and statements from Santander Consumer USA about an alleged debt owed. I DID NOT AND HAVE NOT ENTERED INTO ANY CONTRACTUAL AGREEMENT WITH SANTANDER LEGALLY GIVING THEM THE RIGHT TO COLLECT ON THIS ALLEGED DEBT. Within 30 days I sent Santander Consumer USA correspondence challenging the validity of alleged debt and put them on notice that this alleged debt was DISPUTED. Pursuant 15 USC 1692g ( b ) under the disputed debt portion of the FDCPA it clearly states that " the debt collector shall cease collection of the debt, or any disputed portion thereof, until the debt collector obtains verification of the debt or a copy of a judgment, or the name and address of the original creditor, and a copy of such verification or judgment, or name and address of the original creditor, is mailed to the consumer by the debt collector. '' Debt collector did not cease collection NOR did they cease reporting this alleged unvalidated debt on my consumer report which is a violation pursuant 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ). Santander continued to harras me by calling me daily at my place of work which not only gave me anxiety but also interfered directly with my work. Santander sent a copy of a contract I signed with the XXXX dealership which doesn't suffice as proof of a binding contract with Santander. My privacy has also been invaded as a consumer since Santander had absolutely nothing to do with the transaction or contract and have been harassing me daily. Santander continued sending their misleading and deceptive forms claiming they are attempting to collect a debt which is violation since they have not provided proper debt validation per 15 USC 1692g ( b ) or 12 CFR 1006.34. They've recently sent me a " notice of right to cure default '' where they describe the " collateral '' and claim they will exercise their rights which i presume to be a sly way of saying they are going to take my vehicle. This is not only a violation pursuant 15 USC 1692d ( 1 ) + ( 2 ) but also 15 USC 1692f ( 6 ) ( A ) How are they trying to say im in default when in all actuality it is them who are in violation of federal laws by not ceasing collection of debt until they provide me with the proper documentation. In closing, id also like to mention that all of the " statements '' I have received are in the positive IE ( amount due now {$1800.00} ) which confuses me as the consumer. AM I OWED MONEY? Why are these statements dollar amounts all in the positive, like when I receive a check? Thats another violation pursuant 15 USC 1692e ( 2 ) ( A ) under false and misleading representations.

Consumer Complaint: I consumer : XXXX XXXX jointly with XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX went into a consumer credit transaction with Santander Consumer USA on XXXX XXXX, XXXX. On numerous occasions we have reached out to SANTANDER CONSUMRT USA about the issues at hand. Most recently we were informed by SANTANDER CONSUMER USA that they do not abide by the IRS/Treasury Ordinance Department , nor the Uniform Commercal Code ( UCC ), nor the United States Code ( title 15 ), nor the Truth in Lending Act ; and finally mot even the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau ( CFPB ). All this is alarming and disturbing. All this was divulged at approximately XXXXPM est. standard time on XX/XX/XXXX with Agent XXXX from executive offices employee # XXXX this was all on a recorded line. Agent XXXX from executive offices employee # XXXX informed he called concerning the requested title for the vehicle. Agent XXXX from executive offices employee # XXXX informed me that they would not be granting me the title. Agent XXXX from executive offices was informed that a 1099-A was done on the account and vehicle and that a 1099-C was going to be done in addition. Agent XXXX employee # from executive offices informed that they do not accept IRS forms 1099-A nor any of the IRS/Treasury Dept . forms or documents. The reason this was done was because on XX/XX/XXXX Santander reported the Account status as closed and the remarks regarding the account as ; : charged off as bad debt Profit and loss write-off. When communicating with Santander in regards they denied the account status was closed and that they had reported that ; despite the credit reports reading otherwise. When asking Santander the reason as to why, Santander infomed the charge off was because there was no payment for 120 days. The report read otherwise stating that last paynabt was nade on XX/XX/XXXX and also reported that time late XX/XX/XXXX days were XXXX. This is all in the report. The reason Santander most likely closed this account was due to the Affadavit sent to Santander Consumer USA and there tacit acquiesence of non response. Again when reaching out to Santander to in regards to the affadavit sent by registered mail Santander gave me every excuse they could find as to why they have exceeded the legal and lawful amount of time to answer. After realizing they charged the account off and reported it closed as profit and loss write off, I filed with the IRS/Treasury Dept . Santander is reporting inaccurate and fraudulent information violating title 15. Santander in addition sent correspondence stating I infomed them I was military and no such correspondence has come from me in regards to the military to anyone. i value our service persons dearly and have many family members serving and that has served this county. This is slander and libel. In concluding all documents and receipts are contained within in regards to this report,

Consumer Complaint: Had a Auto loan with Santander. The car transmission failed and I contacted them to see if they could extend the payment to allow me to save and par for the XXXX repair that was quoted by XXXX. They refused and said no, they could not do it so I told them they can come and pick up the car. All this was during the pandemic and I noticed on XXXX XXXX that the loan was written off as a bad debt. I was surprised they wrote it off as a bad debt while the car was still in my driveway. About 6 -8 months later, I woke up and the car was gone. My complaint is the fact that they violated the law by not letting me know the car would be sold at an auction. I did not receive a letter until after the car was sold, Nonetheless, the interest rate that Santander charges on consumers is outrageous. They have also sold the loan to a collection agency which I am confused about. I would be more thank happy to work with Santander on resolving this issue but I think its unfair that this doesnt was sent to collection after the car was sold and written off as a bad debt and without notifying me of the auction.
