Consumer Complaint: In XX/XX/XXXX, I signed an auto loan with Santander on a XXXX XXXX through XXXX for {$19000.00}. Since that time, I was diagnosed with XXXX XXXX and we experienced Hurricane Irma so we got behind in our payments. At the suggestion of Santander, we agreed to a total of three extension agreements. We were told that the past due payments would be " added to the end of the loan ''. The result was that between XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX, I made payments totalling {$9300.00} and yet not one penny was credited to principal. So, as of XX/XX/XXXX since inception, I had made payments totalling {$17000.00} but my principal balance had been reduced by only {$1900.00}!! When I questioned this, I was told some double talk about " simple interest ''. CFPB sued Santander for not disclosing how principal interest would be allocated on an extension. That matter was settled but when I questioned three people at Santander including a Supervisor, they had no idea what I was talking about. I had the impression that Santander would be giving relief to customers affected. Due to my illness I have been running three payments behind but I have made a full monthly payment every month for the past year on the date I receive my Social Security check ( 2nd Wednesday ). Yet I get 2 and sometimes 3 calls a day on my cell phone from Santander and when I ask them to stop ( many times ) I was told they can't because their computer dials my number. They leave voice mails and threaten repossession even though I pay every month and they tell me sometimes that the repo order has been sent until they cancel it, I should hide my car.

Consumer Complaint: I had a lease for a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX with Chrysler Capital - account # XXXX. I recently checked my credit report and there was a 90 day late on my credit report for this account. I was NEVER late on my payments and turned this in without issues. This 90 day late is severely impacting my credit score. There is no date for when they claim the late payment was. This is incorrect information and I a requesting for it to be cleared.

Consumer Complaint: We went to XXXX XXXX XXXX in XXXX WV to purchase a new car for my military son stationed in Kansas. Well needless to say that my husband and I are both XXXX with limited income and this was all explained to car lot. Well we got a XXXX XXXX XXXX that we really didn't want but we were going to Missouri to see my son and he needed a vehicle to go on to XXXX XXXX well payments were {$500.00} which was alot higher than we asked for and they put the car in our name not my son 's so it went on our credit. We put {$2000.00} down of my son 's money and he paid {$500.00} monthly till he came in on leave. We went to car lot to trade the car in for a vehicle my son wanted well they wouldn't take the car on trade because they'd lose money cause car we were paying way over what car was worth I volunteerily surrendered the car to Santander and they sold it for over XXXX We had paid over {$8000.00} already so they wanted XXXX more and I said no the car wasn't worth that and they agreed to drop it and it was off my credit report for months and then all of a sudden it's back on there and they are calling us after over a year of not bothering us. This company and car lot have been in trouble before on getting outrageous loans for people who can't afford them so they make a profit. My husband has XXXX XXXX and is not compent to enter into loans they were aware of this but guess whose name is main principal. So that's illegal and we've lost enough money over this we just want it off our credit.

Consumer Complaint: This particular account situation that is lately filing on my own credit document has a seriously unfavorable relation to my personal ability to obtain a present loan application. I highly recommend you generate verification that SANTANDER CONSUMER U has been reported completely in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act regulations, it's really a serious problem to mis-report. Moreover, I was never 120 days late in any of my payments and I'm not greatly tuned in to the date opened so I prefer to ask your confirmation of the aforesaid item too. My proper request must be investigated as soon as possible and confirmed to be correct. Thanks!

Consumer Complaint: I called Santander Consumer USA Inc. to get payoff quote XXXX XXXX. The company representative XXXX gave a payoff quote figure XXXX. She said the figure was good until XXXX XXXX. Accordingly my uncle XXXX XXXX obtained a bank check for the exact amount and sent it via XXXX to the address XXXX provided. The check was received but by telephone the company now says that a further {$380.00} is due to extinguish the loan. They do not dispute that they provided a payoff amount of {$11000.00}, but say that figure was not complete. Having taken time from work on a weekday to obtain a bank check and gone to the expense of shipping it via XXXX, {$34.00}, I object to having to pay a further sum over and above the payoff quote I relied on from Santander 's representative. Santander should honor the quote they provided. Account # XXXX

Consumer Complaint: We purchased a brand new XXXX XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX XXXX inXX/XX/XXXX The vehicle has been in the shop many times and they have been unable to fix it. We are now in arbitration with Chrysler. Our XXXX has been in their shop for nearly 2 weeks now for their allowed final repair attempt. However, they refused us a loaner vehicle. My husband has been taking his motorcycle to work in the rain and freezing cold temperatures because of this. We still have to pay our $ XXXX/month payment and we have no vehicle. This is absolutely absurd. We have attempted to resolve this with both XXXX and Chrysler, but the fact of the matter is that we are under warranty. We pay our payments. We both need to get to work and my husband absolutely should not be forced to put himself at risk on a motorcycle in the rain or freezing temperatures. We are paying a lot of money for absolutely nothing. That's stealing plain and simple.

Consumer Complaint: XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, and XX/XX/XXXX a collections representative contacted me to collect past due payment on my car loan. After I tried to set up arrangements I was told on each call that I need to make a full payment or they can't guarantee the safety of my vehicle.

My vehicle isn't even in the department that handles repossessions nor do the Representatives that I spoke with have the authority to issues a repo. Blatant violation of fdcpa regulations
