Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account status incorrect

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX ( and other dates ) Santander Consumer Usa turned my account in as a charge off for XXXX dollar ( to XXXX ) and a charge off paid in full to XXXX and XXXX. They also turned me in for being 30, 60, 90 and 120 days late when I was making payments that they suggested. I called Santander several times and they said my principal is paid off and on time ( not late ). They then said that there are fees ( XX/XX/XXXX ) that can be paid off when I can and if I pay monthly payments it will not be shown as being overly late. Santander has on their records that they said that I would not be down as being more than 60 days late and would not charge me off if I made payments. They said themselve 's that its on record three times that this was said and that I'm not to worry. They also said that it is on record that they said the opposite. I reported this to XXXX, XXXX, and XXXX and not much was done. I need this charge off taken off of my report as I never more than 60 days late. I got this payment down to XXXX dollar and they charged me off. This truly is an unfair act even if Santander never admits fault.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report

Subissue: Account information incorrect

Consumer Complaint: Upon Checking XXXX I found that Santander reported payment of {$0.00} on months that a payment was indeed made. The month shows as paid but reflects a payment of {$0.00} which doesnt reflect the amount paid that month. The payment amount reflects later on the balance. The company santander forced me to sign an agreement in order to gain a lower finance interest rate on my vehicle. In this agreement there is a legal terminology of which I did not understand when I signed it. The agreement states I can not sure them for anything. I now am no longer able to speak to anyone as they state I can not due to a legal issue. I am exhausted from this deal. Please advise

Issue: Threatened to contact someone or share information improperly

Subissue: Talked to a third-party about your debt

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 I went to a XXXX class in XXXX. I was approached by two classmates XXXX XXXX from XXXX Virginia and XXXX XXXX from North Carolina. They said that I was being investigated for something that my mother and I had done 20 years ago when I lived in XXXX XXXX On XX/XX/2018 a flyer from an investigator was left on my door. picture attached. I have never committed a crime or anything questionable. Ever. And they are complete strangers. I asked them where did they obtain this information, because they are damaging my brand, and my name. I noticed that people were following me. And I wrote A CFPB complaint on XX/XX/2018. I nolonger felt safe in my vehicle, but couldn't voice this, as only my coworkers knew that I was going to XXXX and I would see vehicles tracing me at work and at home at the store, and at my church. This all fit the dialogue that I had with the associate at XXXX when we had the loan agreement. That they denied. After I made the report, the following tactics has changed. Now there is a man that happens to walk around the complex, as I arrive home from church or work. On XX/XX/2018, my daughter and I went to XXXX. She drove her car. We were followed from XXXX to XXXX XXXX. Shortly after we arrived, a couple came in and pretended that they were interested in a vehicle. They got into their vehicle and left. On Sunday, the XXXX, I called Santander and asked them to retrieve the vehicle. My initial statement was that my loan amount was more than I had taken out for the vehicle, after two years. I did not want to disclose that I had an open complaint with the consumer 's bureau. On Tuesday, XX/XX/XXXX, at XXXX there was a man standing out by the exit where I typically exit. I took pictures of him. He saw that I was filming and he ducked his head and briskly walked around to another building. The same day, I noticed that every time I left my building, cars would circle like sharks. And people would just so happen to be standing where they could get a good view. One of which was a bald, XXXX man with glasses. I called Santander at XXXX XXXX and I requested that they pick up the vehicle because I no longer felt safe, and I had already filed a complaint against XXXX XXXX. They responded quickly and gave me the appropriate information. On Wednesday, XX/XX/XXXX, the tow truck Driver came got the vehicle at around XXXX. After they picked up the vehicle, I took the tags to the DMV. While on my way, I saw the same man that was standing outside of my job, ( XXXX with glasses ) driving a green pick up truck, a young lady was beside him, filming me with her cell phone, When I acknowledged using eye contact a nod and mouthed I see you. She stopped. Beside me was a XXXX XXXX police squad car. The driver was wearing a yellow neon jacket. I turned into the DMV. And went in. When I got into the DMV, Santander called me. I ignored the call. As soon as I got out, I called them back, and parked in the adjoining parking lot. Next to a XXXX XXXX XXXX. A man was in the car. Within watching distance, the XXXX XXXX police car pulled up and the driver just watched me. So all of a sudden he steps out, and 'looks under the hood. ' Plate number XXXX. I have pictures. When I got on XXXX, the police car followed me. There was a large truck between us, that it attempted to use for cover. I turned into the left turning lane at XXXX XXXX, and turned into the shopping center, and went home. This leads me to believe that this is XXXX 's doing still. About a year ago, she had asked me if I changed my hair. And I had went from really curly to extremely straight. Although I wouldn't leave Santander out. I separate complaint will be filed. Which ever company is trying to use fear tactics. They have used people to come into my church and watch and record me. And this has been going on for more than a year. The associate at XXXX said that they would do things like this. And I am a XXXX woman with XXXX children in today 's society.

Issue: Written notification about debt

Subissue: Didn't receive enough information to verify debt

Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a vehicle financed through Satander Consumer USA. Payments were made. My vehicle was repossessed XX/XX/XXXX atXX/XX/XXXX in a very disruptive manner ; I.e : my car alarm was set off and the tow company lit up the entire neighborhood with lights and the sound on my vehicle. Without any notice my vehicle was repossessed and per Nebraska state law I was to be notified via a certified letter that my vehicle was in a repossessive state and given 20 days to rectify ; they failed to send me notice. After the repossession I called Santander and asked for the notice, the representative XXXX I spoke with was rude and stated it was not his job to notify me of my finances. I then mailed a Debt validation letter on XX/XX/XXXX and never recieved a response, I then was notified they sold the vehicle and that I now owe over {$10000.00} and are reporting on my credit file 3 different amounts as a bad debt/charge off, but I was never given the amount needed to get my vehicle back and rectify the debt to get my vehicle back.

Issue: Managing the loan or lease

Subissue: Problem with the interest rate

Consumer Complaint: Purchased Used vehicle XXXX contract amount was XXXX @ {$740.00} per month for 60 months. Santander has us still owing {$23000.00} as of XXXX, Current statement has owing more than we borrowed and have made payments. I think that is impossible. We have contacted them numerous times over the last year to ask options and we have 2 options. 1- turn the car in under a repo and get sued for balance or 2- pay off the balance. We are on a fixed income and no longer can afford the car loan, as it should be paid off and then some. The value of the car is less than 9K at this point. Abusive lending practices.Extreme lending rates.
