Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Subissue: Billing problem
Consumer Complaint: On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I was rear ended pulling into work, my XXXX XXXX XXXX was totaled. I paid my first payment that morning before heading into work. My loan was paid off except for XXXX which I had rolled a XXXX XXXX XXXX over into this XXXX loan. I dont know how billing works but in XXXX I was credited XXXX to my payments. I called in XXXX and asked who made this deposit into my account, the man I spoke with said he didnt know that he thought it was the insurance company. Statements show my next payment was not due until XXXX/XXXX/XXXX in the amount of XXXX. Fast forward to XXXX XXXX and I get a phone call saying I am XXXX months behind and when I asked how they explained that the insurance department made a mistake. The XXXX that they applied was my warranty refund onto my payments and they had to fix it on XXXX XXXX when they caught the mistake they allocated it back to my warranty on the loan. So they said that makes me due for XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX, XXXX and now XXXX which is when I was told my first payment would originally be due. When I asked for a manager I got XXXX XXXX he said that he can not make any changes on his end but for me to ask the insurance department for a Payment Allocation to be done, he transferred me to the Insurance Department on Santanders end, I got XXXX the manager in the insurance department he stated that it was a mistake but nothing can be allocated anymore and I must make these payments as soon as possible. I asked how I am liable for a mistake they made and why cant my loan be extended then to fix their mistake. I was told nothing can be done and I must still come up with the money. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX or XXXX/XXXX/XXXX I spoke with another XXXX named XXXX at XXXX, he saw my frustration and said he will escalate my case higher up because that seemed wrong to him as well. On XXXX/XXXX/XXXX at XXXX am XXXX XXXX from the XXXX office called to speak with me, he said they can get rid of all my late fees for me but they will not extend my loan and add the payments to the end of the loan, and they will not allocate the warranty payment back to the principal for me. My internet access was cut off on me and when I called the president office back they said that when a loan is changed from my main loan to this totaled loan that they get rid of internet access for us. Why then does my latest statement from them ask me to go online and update my number and update a work number. They are being very sneaky and not letting me have access to my statements. I have a statement from XXXX/XXXX/XXXX showing I am not due until XXXX XXXX and now a statement from XXXX XXXX showing I am delinquent and over XXXX days late now. I cant have this hurting my credit because of a mistake made by Santander.

Subissue: Loan balance remaining after the vehicle is repossessed and sold
Consumer Complaint: My vehicle was repossessed in XXXX XXXX. A settlement offer letter dated XXXX/XXXX/XXXX was mailed to my home earlier this year. This letter offered to settle account with a stated principal balance due of {$7900.00} for 30 % of this amount. The settlement total amounted to {$2300.00}. The letter further stated that there was a 60 day window to accept the offer. Unfortunately at the time I had no knowledge of the settlement offer as I was incarcerated from XXXX XXXX, XXXX until XXXX XXXX, XXXX in the XXXX XXXX XXXX. I contacted Santander and explained this. I also sent them a letter with proof of incarceration to no avail. I would like the opportunity to consider this offer as it was impossible for me to do so initially as I lacked knowledge of the offers existence.

Consumer Complaint: On XXXX I purchased a XXXX XXXX from XXXX XXXX financing was being done by XXXXSantander..I executed all documents and assumed it was complete.The process was choppy and confused as signing was rescheduled and when I finally picked up the vehicle things seem to be resolved and I signed a XXXX XXXX XXXX contract on XXXX that was dated XXXX left with the vehicle on XXXX and got a ticket for no inspection sticker even though it was supposed to be included and was listed on the itemization.Then the real problems began and I received a call from someone at XXXX saying that I needed to fill out another application on line because the loan was not being " funded '' by XXXXI did that and received subsequent calls from XXXX trying to sell me another car??? On I received several subsequent calls from XXXX saying it was all set and then it was n't and I needed to do another XXXX application??? The entire situation was ridiculous.They had my downpayment, I had signed all the loan and ownership documents but apparently there was some probllem between XXXX and XXXX XXXX I spoke to XXXX in XXXX to I believe a XXXX XXXX, who said she thought it was all set and that I should check with XXXX so my father and I called XXXX and spoke to a XXXX and XXXX in Internal lending and they confirmed that there was some " irregularities '' with the loan because the vehicle was exchanged on XXXX.I advised her that that never happened.Apparently XXXX was trying to cover up for some internal errors with their documentationShe then was emphatic that we should be all set because the numbers matched on the application numbers and the loan would be funded.This funding issue was not my problem but we thought it was resolved.We even discussed when the XXXX payment would be due because now all the dates were different.She said it would n't be until XXXX days after the funding date and I would get a statement and interest would only accrue from the funding date. On XXXX I received in the mail a notice that the car would be repossessed unless I came up with XXXX?? This is insane the dealer did the financing and apparently had some clerical issue with the funding source and this is somehow my problem? They are trying to hold me responsible for their internal error.I have no issue paying the loan but it is unfair and deceptive to hold me accountable for their errors.They also violated fair credit with the errant disclosuresThey are a mess and this was ridiculous.I buy a car with XXXX XXXX interest with dealer provided financing and I am responsible because they XXXX up?????? They are holding me responsible for their internal accounting and procedures.

Subissue: Denied request to lower payments
Consumer Complaint: Regarding previous complaint XXXX. A settlement letter was attached to the complaint yet once again I try to contact Santander Consumer USA and they had no knowledge of the settlement so I had to fax them over a copy of the settlement. The settlement letter was for a one-time payment {$6000.00} by the XX/XX/XXXXI had called an email Santander Consumer USA supervisor regarding this and have fax over a letter requesting more time from the legal department of Santana Consumer USA, i have yet received a response back yet I need more time due to the bank will hold a check that 's being deposited the end of this month into my account also being that the damage had came up due to the latest hurricane IRMA. I am unable to uphold the {$6000.00} one time payment settlement at this time. Due to damages and me not having a car due to the car being a total loss I would still like to try to settle this amount but in the monthly payment. And being that I have been paying monthly on the vehicle that I no longer own I am requesting the settlement amount can be lowered from XXXX being that I have been making monthly payments and my total amount that 's due on the loan as of now has decreased. I would like to be contacted from the legal department directly so this matter can be resolved

Consumer Complaint: on XX/XX/XXXX I purchased a new vehicle and terminated my lease with XXXX XXXX through a dealer pay off. The pay off amount was XXXX. After a while of driving my new car i noticed that the original lease with XXXX XXXXol was still showing as active. I called them in XXXX and was told that they see how the payment was applied wrong and they would fix it. I then received a bill from them in XXXX about the lease. I call them again and they inform me that they would be able to fix it as it was just a late fee because the payment was n't applied properly and they would also fix that to close out the lease. I totally forgot about it until XX/XX/XXXX when I receive a collections call because I now owe them XXXX. I spoke to a manager at this point by the name of XXXX XXXX who told me he would contact me within 24-72 hours. I received no phone call as of XX/XX/XXXX. At this time i decide to call back and see if I can get this issue resolved. I speak with a manager who seemed to be more interested in transferring me to an escalation manager by the name of XXXX. She was absolutely no help as she did not know how to fix the issue or anything. I then get transferred to XXXX XXXX who is with the office of the chair and still no resolution to the problem. I have asked for their NMLS number and was refused it. At this point I am at a total loss of what my next course of action should be. I have now had this on my credit report for one year negatively affecting my credit and it looks like there is no resolution to be had.
