Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: NC
Product: Credit reporting, credit repair services, or other personal consumer reports
Sub-product: Credit reporting
Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Account status incorrect

Complaint:
I was advised to write to you by your customer service department concerning my credit rating with your company. I have enjoyed a credit account with you for many years. During the course of our business association, I have honored and respected my account agreement to the fullest. I appreciate how wonderful your service has always been. 

Unfortunately, I was in a financial dilemma due to job loss. As a result, my payment to you were delayed. Because your account with me is extremely important I managed to borrow the money to cover the late payments. I made sure to fulfill my obligation to ensure that your company suffered no loss. 

I am thankful and appreciative for the years of positive credit history that I have obtained through your company but now the late marks on my credit reports are causing me tremendous stress. I am trying to move up to a better paid position at my work, but the negative remarks are hurting my efforts. 

This is where my " Goodwill Request '' comes in. I desperately need this promotion and I would be extremely appreciative if you would please complete a UDF - Universal Data Form and send it to the credit bureaus to reflect paid on time " never late ''. 

The credit bureaus have advised me that they will report anything as instructed to by you, but they need to have that instruction in writing. I will place my account on auto pay and promise to make all payments on time in the future. 

I beg that you may help me and take into consideration how good of a customer I have been and how long I have had an account with you. My family very much needs this to pay for medical care that we desperately need. I hope you can find it in your heart to help us.

Company: BANK OF AMERICA, NATIONAL ASSOCIATION

Product: Money transfer, virtual currency, or money service
Sub-product: Domestic (US) money transfer
Issue: Fraud or scam

Complaint:
I was a victim of fraud. A person posted an ad on XXXX XXXX and stated that he can not show the rental property listed due to social distancing and COVID restrictions. He asked for first month rent and one month deposit to be transferred to a XXXX XXXX account ... I followed his directions but when the day to receive the key came he disappeared. Afterwards I googled his name and found others who fell for this scam. The issue is that when I called BOA and asked to retrieve the wire transfer they did not act quickly and only on the 45th Buisness day after my call which is the upper limit allowed did they issue a letter stating that the account it was forwarded to is closed. BANK OF America did not act quickly and more then that they should have alerted the XXXX XXXX that the holder of the account to which I transferred money is a scammer who keeps scamming others on a regular basis advertising apartments for rent throughout the US. Instead of being ProActive and working on flagging the account and warning others Bank Of America was placid and responded only on the last day they are officially obligated to respond this despite me calling them 5 different times and being promised that someone will respond today. Its as if BOA combined and joined the scammers to propagate fraud

Over a 5 year period there has never been a 30-day period where I have been offered an opportunity to downgrade my card to a lessor fee when I have called in consistently, thereby holding me hostage to a higher fee card or suffering a credit hit by closing the line of credit completely. This fixed policy as implemented by Barclay 's negatively impacts consumers.
