Santander USA Harassment

      | 458 |      LEAD PLAINTIFF: nssalexander      Case Filed: 2010-12-04
Case Summary:
Originally we had an auto loan with Citifinancial which was sold to Santander Consumer USA. I would like to add that we were not even advised that Santander had taken over our loan until we received a bill in the mail. Since the transition we have had nothing but problems with our account. We had a deferred payment through Citifinancial in May of 2010. Santander claims that we are a payment behind. I have spoken with many customer service/collection agents who I receive conflicting information. When this situation first emerged the agents said that they were missing September 2010 payment. Then another agent said it was May 2010 payment. Last week it was April 2010 payment. Now it is February 2010 payment. I have submitted to Santander proof of payments that were taken out of our Bank account. Our account is "Under Review" however, our account was sent to their collections department. I submitted proof of payments to Santander Consumer USA on November 15th 2010. Apparently you cannot reach the department who handles the accounts. Obviously that department is not working on correcting the issue because we are still getting harassing calls and the customer service agents are saying that our account is still under review.

Case Detail:
I need help to get this settled. This has been going on too long and nothing is being done. I have proof that we have not missed a payment. That proof was faxed to them. I received confirmation that they have received the proof. You cannot reach anyone except for the call center. I can not get anywhere with them. Myself, my husband, my sister in law, and my seventy one year old mother in law who happens to be sick are getting numerous harassing calls from these people everyday.

Case Details:
The account was purchased by Daimler Chrysler Financial and transferred to Citifinancial Auto, until last year it was sold again to Santander Consumer USA, Inc. I created an online account with Santander and I was able to see my account balance and payment history. I started calling the company and asking questions about the balance, why was it so high and what was going on with the account. I was told by four or more CRS that because of the late payments, deferments, and daily per Diem of 6.74, which I didn't know anything about. Is why the payoff was so high. I asked how is that, when I only have 10 more payments and that is a total of 4878.70, there is a problem here. One CSR, told me that the account will be satisfied in 10 months, and the balance would go away. How when the is over 6,000 dollars unaccounted for? On my payment history, I see “citi-non cash”posting, and it is adding payments back to my balance, about 5141.45. Santander is telling me, it is late payments, but, I beg to differ. My balance with Santander is 11,572.00 and I need to “SEE” why this is so. I have made 49 of 66 payments of 487.87 (23,905.63) and Santander says I have only paid about 8,000 or so in principle payments. I have made numerous attempts to get this resolved and I have been passed around by Santander from one rep to the next. I feel like Santander is unfair and selfish to the needs of their customers, I understand I have had late payments and deferments, but I just refuse to believe that is the reason for the excessive money attached to my balance.

Case Details:
Bought my Jeep brand new in 2005, financed through CitiAuto. No major complaints, I was late and they did work with me. About a year ago Santander took over/bought my loan and my nightmare began. July of this year my loan matured and should have been paid off. I had deferred a December payment and knew that would be due at the end of the loan so I made another payment. Now they have been calling me non stop (from several different numbers and company names Drive Financial being one of them) and they are saying that I still owe 2700 due to late fees. HOW in the world do I have that much in late fees. I talked to them and they sent me a re-modification paper that I have 5 days to get back to them. 7 months at 405 a month. That's only 40 dollars less than I was paying every month. I may have been late, but my payments were ALWAYS made. I even paid 5 dollars a month more than required and nothing came off my payoff. There's something wrong with this picture and I will be filing a complaint with my states General Attorney Monday morning.

Case Details:
Bought a 2005 GMC Envoy (which is a lemon), financed through CitiFinance. Since Santander took over (without any notification), I can't get a straight answer from these harrassing people. I don't want to damage my stepfather's credit (who was kind enough to get the loan in his name). Is there any hope for me. I just spent my entire tax return trying to get this lemon back on the road. So far, I'm having no luck with that either. I'm a single mother with 2 wonderful boys who are also suffering because of every penny I get goe on the car and my boys are having to do without. I am desperate.
Please help me if you can. Thank you for your time.

Case Details:
I originally had my loan through HSBC, making my payments on time. Then in Jan-Feb of 2009 my wife got laid off of her job and I was paying all of the bills the best I could. Then without notice HSBC sold my account to these SANTANDER idiots, who can't speak english very well, took over my account and If I'm 1-2 days late, the phone rings off the hook, all hours of the day, weekends and just the other day HOLIDAYS!
Where are our rights from harassment from IDIOTS like these people. They need to be stopped. What ever happened to your late as of 30 days, not 2.

Case Details:
I was not even aware that they horrible people bought the loan from roadloans.com. I had to find out by viewing my credit report online. From Oct-Dec 2009 I was getting over 8 calls every day from these people. They harassed me to no end.

I am a survivor of DOMESTIC VIOLENCE! I was forced into cosigning for a car that I did not want in 2004. I signed under duress, and fear of what my now exspouse would do to me. That was the WORST mistake (second to being married to an abuser). After he threatened to STAB me in July 2007, I started to get help. I moved out in Jan 2008, and filed divorce.

The judge ordered him in stipulated judgement to get that car refinanced into his own name. Well, 2.5 years later, this loan is STILL on my credit reports. It is being reported late. I never ever got any statement in the mail to notify me this loan had been bought by santander. They refuse to send me any documents about this car, because they told me I was not the primary borrower.

I have called them several times recently to try to get them to remove that account from my name, and my credit reports. I faxed all court documents, and even mailed them two copies certified mail over 8 months ago.

Last week they reconfirmed receipt of all documents. They refuse to take my name off the loan. I have no idea where the car is. I have not seen it in nearly 3 years now. I had to move 100 miles away just to be safe. Santander will not return my calls.

They claim I am responsible for $19K on this car. Yet, I have to see one statement. They will not delete it, and could care less if my life was in danger. They just told me "oh well, you signed a contract."

I am not even the registered owner of this car.

The contract I was forced to sign is not valid, and needs to be cancelled. I just want my name, and my credit protected from that batterer who tried to kill me. He is dangerous, and I do not deserve to have my credit ruined indefinately until he finally sells it. It is NOT MY FAULT, he is not paying them on time.

Where is the justice for women who were abused, and had to start over with literally zero?!

Per court documents, I am NOT responsible for that car. PLEASE HELP!

I will be filing complaints with Dept of Cosumer Affairs, Federal Trade Commission, and CA & TX Attorney State General office.

I want this company brought to justice, for violating my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, and Fair Debt collection Act.
