Consumer Complaint: After paying Satander USA for nearly 3.5 years on a contract/agreement that I signed for a XXXX used XXXX XXXX back in XX/XX/XXXX. I thought I was honestly doing something good because at the time I put down {$1000.00} and I had a co signer. But the company took advantage and after nearly 4 years the told me I still owed almost {$12000.00}. The vehicle at the time was {$12000.00}. Keep in mind it had nearly 90,000 miles on it. Since doing a voluntary repo on the vehicle Santander has been reporting inaccurate information to the credit agencies. I havent been able to get the company removed from at least 1 credit agency. They had made it nearly impossible to do anything because for the longest no company would finance me for anything. It seems they had hidden fees that we didnt know anything about. Obviously after signing a 48 month contract with them and having the vehicle for nearly 3.5 years and still owing the original price for the vehicle something is going on. The company should be shot down and anyone with issues should be some type of harassment settlement. They called even after doing the voluntary repo in the vehicle to me and my co signer telling us that they would begin garnishing our wages and making threats to us both. I didnt know the laws at the time and that was after we gave the vehicle back.

Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Subissue: Denied request to lower payments
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018 my car was totaled. I made a claim through my insurance company and they paid the ACV for the vehicle. After my insurance paid their part I still had a balance which GAP covered some of the remaining balance. I have my auto loan through Santander Consumer. I was told through GAP that they only could pay XXXX on the balance. The total balance was XXXX which Im left with a XXXX balance. Ive contacted Santander several times to ask how they came up with that amount, but they keep giving me the run around. Also they want me to pay XXXX a month on a car I dont have. I also tried to negotiate with them to see if they can lower my payments, because with this balance still owed I cant get financed for another vehicle. I know I may owe them some money but I feel that I dont owe them that much. Now I am stuck without a vehicle, and I cant get financed for another one because they wont work out a plan with me. I dont know what to do in this situation Im just upset because Santander already received 33 payments from me at XXXX a month. They received XXXX from Gap, and XXXX from my Insurance company. So totaled they have got over 30k for a vehicle thats only worth about 12k. So please help me in this situation or give me some input of what I can do. Thanks

Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed
Subissue: Debt is not yours
Consumer Complaint: On XX/XX/2018, Santander responded to my CFPB complaint XXXX ( attached ) and promised to remove my email from their systems because it was incorrectly sending me notifications of debts that were not mine but those of someone with the same name who lives in a different city and state. I continue to receive debt notifications after the representation of Santander that this would be fixed. I have attached debt related notifications of XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX, XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The experience has been worse since Santander represented to the CFPB that the notifications would stop.

Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Subissue: Investigation took more than 30 days
Consumer Complaint: I have been working tirelessly to get items removed off my report because I was a victim of all my data being stolen off the OPM database ( I was a federal employee ). However this item is of a different circumstance. XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX is trying to collect a debt for Santander CO in the amount of XXXX I purchased a XX/XX/XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX in XX/XX/XXXX and financed it through Santander but I only had the car in my possession for less than 60 days as the car engine was making a knocking noise and the transmission was not shifting properly. I took the car back to XXXX XXXX and they put me in another car, XX/XX/XXXX XXXX XXXX but because it was past the 30 days they had to roll in the negative equity of {$4900.00} for the XXXX into my new loan with XXXX XXXX XXXX. Needless to say I was furious but I had no choice because my daily commute was long and I needed a reliable car. I have contacted XXXX XXXX and spoke with the Finance Manager and he told me that I absolutely DO NOT OWE this debt to Santander because they were paid when I financed the XXXX. Unfortunately, he could not find the sales order for the XXXX because they have changed systems since XX/XX/XXXX. I believe this is nothing short of a CRIMINAL ACT by both XXXX XXXX XXXX and Santander as they are trying to collect a debt they have already been paid on and have ruined my credit in the meantime! I am desperate to get some assistance with helping me get this item removed from my XXXX credit report ( it is not showing on XXXX or XXXX ) as it is a large amount ( XXXX ) and it is seriously affecting my credit score. I feel I have done all the right things to get this removed but I am being ignored.
