Issue: Improper use of your report

Subissue: Credit inquiries on your report that you don't recognize

Consumer Complaint: I am who I am ( the original creditor ) of all things on my consumer file, I am not a credit repair agent nor paid attorney, I am sending this as myself the original creditor of all " alleged '' debts on my consumer file. I have been violated under multiple incidents by these consumer reporting agencies and will be seeking litigation if problem are not rectified immediately. The following rights of mine I believe have been violated and are causing punitive damages to my life as the consumer of the united states. ( Offenses number 1 ) 15 usc 1681 ( a ) ( 3 ) Consumer reporting agencies have " assumed '' a vital role in assembling and evaluating consumer credit and other information on consumers. I never gave XXXX, XXXX, or XXXX ( WRITTEN PERMISSION ) to have this information pertaining to my consumer transactions. Because I never gave this permission I believe this offense also falls under 18 usc 1028 aggravated identity theft ( A ) ( 1 ) ( offense number 2 ) Whoever, during and in relation to any felony violation enumerated in subsection ( c ), knowingly transfers, ( possesses, or uses, without lawful authority ), a means of identification of another person shall, in addition to the punishment provided for such felony, be sentenced to a term of imprisonment of 2 years. ( Offense number 3 ) 15 usc 1681 ( Exclusions ) any authorization or approval of a specific extension of credit directly or indirectly by the issuer of a credit card or similar device. The credit " alleged '' " inquiries " are a private matter and if they are or were factual they are not supposed to be on my consumer file and report. ( offense number 4 ) 15 usc 1692g I also believe is a section regarding validation of debts. Numorius accounts have be disputed and have come back as validated when I ( THE ORIGINAL CREDITOR ) haven't received any type of notice within five days to verify or validate these " alleged debts '' ( I DO NOT VALIDATE NOR VERIFY ANY DEBTS ON MY CONSUMER FILE ). Furthermore under 15 usc 1692g ( c ) The failure of a consumer to dispute the validity of a debt under this section may not be construed by any court as an admission of liability by the consumer. All debts on the public and consumers are already paid for by the united states according to what I believe is 31 us code 3123 The Secretary of the Treasury shall pay interest due or accrued on the public debt. Now im not making threats but under 15 us code 1679g ( civil liablity ) Any person who fails to comply with any provision of this subchapter with respect to any other person shall be liable to such person in an amount equal to the sum of the amounts determined under each of the following paragraphs : actual damages, punitive damages and class action. LAstly under 15 usc 6802Obligations with respect to disclosures of personal information I have the legal right to tell you what is considered private to me and what I demand be removed from my file for the sack of my privacy.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with fees charged

Consumer Complaint: Santander USA charged my bank account ACH using my routing and bank number with out authorization, causing overdraft fees on my bank account. These XXXX fees were charged XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX. I made a payment to Santander USA by using my debit card for the amount of XXXX +a fee to process the payment through speedpay on XX/XX/XXXX. I did not authorize the prior payments that were attempted 2 on my account. I do not have auto pay set up at all. I have my stamens come by mail every month which was recently changed to electronic paperless without my permission. By Santander USA attempting to charge my account t for my car note they commuted fraud. I did not authorize the ACH by bank routing number and account number. I did however only authorize my debit card payment. As a result of the fraud commuted Santander USA charged me a XXXX fee for the 2 ACH payments being returned which rolled over into the following months payment in XXXX. I have had XXXX dealings with Santander in the past with payments not being applied appropriately to my account that resulted in a audit. Santander has also reported payments late 30 days late, 60 days late when payments were never 60 days or 30 days late. I have disputed this information with the credit bureaus and most of my credit reports have been fixed. If my payment is 2 weeks late this does not justify 30 days late to report inaccurate information reflecting negatively on my credit report. Another issue Santander was sent a certified letter in XXXX of XXXX asking to stop the harassment of calls. Santander USA confirmed they received the letter along with my certified letter stub. In this letter I asked that I or my co-signer receive no more calls and that all communication be sent in written form. When concerning with Santander that my letter was received the representative XXXX in XXXX of XXXX also deleted our numbers from the system. I also on my phone put a block on the number ( s ) that Santander USA automated system would call from. After recently looking through my XXXX call protect app the calls are blocked by the company continues to call the phone numbers associated with the account that were deleted and in writing a deceits and desist letter as mentioned above. This is a clear violation of the FCRA, and constitutes as harassment. I sent a message in my Santander USA app on XX/XX/XXXX putting Santander on notice yet again and asking that my credit report and my loan fees be waived. I also requested for a audit of all my payments, how it was paid and the date processed to ensure accuracy, as in accurate information has occurred on this loan several times. I have all documentation to support my claim as stated above.

Issue: Problems at the end of the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with paying off the loan

Consumer Complaint: Santander auto loans have been involved in a 32 state lawsuit and the class-action lawsuit is complete with Santander being required to pay out billions of dollars in retribution. I am one of those people on said lawsuit. His company has repeatedly refused to provide me documentation they have charged off my loan while I was in the middle of paying it they have incorrect information on my credit report they refuse to fix for over 2 years from the amount that they stated are owed to the late payments which were not late to the fact that now I have no title still to this vehicle. I have paid over {$35000.00} for a used vehicle and they have no record of the original contract they refused to send it to me and they refuse to acknowledge that I put a down payment on a vehicle that they never applied to the actual balance of the loan. I have every piece of documentation yet I don't have the original contract from them only from the dealership. For example in XXXX of XXXX they stated I owed {$17000.00} on the vehicle and they reported that to all of the credit bureaus however when I log into my account the balance I owed in XXXX with {$17000.00} with 188 payments being made almost equaling the amount of {$500.00} for each payment. So therefore that small example shows that they are fraudulent and they actually owe me money. There are 188 entries and transactions in my account for Santander showing every painted that I made from XXXX XXXX until XX/XX/XXXX. How would I still owe them money? Why would they charge off an account that I am still paying on? From XXXX of XXXX until XXXX of XXXX I have every transaction and I have every transaction from my bank before that as well. If this is not fixed I am working with a credit repair company and an attorney to get this taken off and this is my final attempt to do this the right way.

Consumer Complaint: I purchased a car from XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX. They utilized Santander, an XXXX authorized lender, for financing. Not making enough money working XXXX, I fell behind in my $ XXXX monthly payments. They repossessed my car in XXXX XXXX.
