Consumer complaint received 2020-03-09
Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: TX
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Struggling to pay your loan
Sub-issue: Denied request to lower payments

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX my vehicle was repossessed after being late 6-7 times in over 3 years. Payment was made on the loan in XX/XX/XXXX and the Lender was contacted to confirm the status of the loan. Per the Lender my vehicle was repossessed after 72 days of being late, although I had made payment on XX/XX/XXXX and arrangement to make additional payments to become current. 

Just prior to the issues I made contact with the Lender in XX/XX/XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX to discuss a temporary employment issue that I was experiencing and make payment. I advised that my financial issues were temporary and requested my loan be adjusted to allow me to catch up on the late payments. I was advised at that time I did not qualify. The Representative was also asked if I was in any danger of repossession and I was advised that I was not, however I was 53 days past due. 

On the date of repossession I placed a call to the Lender to discuss what had occurred and find out the amount needed to recover my vehicle and find out why my vehicle had been taken. The Representative asked a series of questions and when I was asked why I had been late 6-7 times. I advised her that work had become slow and a temporary lay-off, this caused me to be late. Additionally, I was asked to provide a reason about late payment dates over a year ago and when I advised her that I could not recall what occurred over a year ago, the Representative advised me that I did not qualify for recovery and needed to pay the entire loan balance in the amount of + $ 20k, because I could not answer her questions. When she was advised that I do not understand why they were demanding a full payment the Representative stated, " Well since you do not know why your were late and could not answer my questions, you will need to pay the full amount. '' The Representative refused to except my source of income information, indicating that there was nothing that could be done because I just did not qualify. 

When I asked to speak with a Supervisor I was advised that none were available and that someone would call me back. I never received a call back. I subsequently called back several times and was advised by various representatives that the determination had been made and I would not be able to recover the vehicle without full payment. 

As I further reviewed the account it was discovered that my principal balance never decreased and that the daily interest rate calculated when payments were late absorbed the payments made over the course of years. The principal balance decreased. The interest rates were predatory and the charges were not fully disclosed, without explanation from the Lender. The loan origination amount was {$20000.00} with the current balance at this time being {$20000.00}. This would appear that only {$220.00} applied to the purchase of the vehicle in 39 months.

Complaint:
It has been a battle going through this and I am submitting this CFPB complaint to delete the following fraudulent accounts in my file. The accounts I need deleted are listed in the report. I am a victim of identity theft and did not make the charge nor accounts. I ask that the accounts be deleted to correct my credit report. I reported the theft of my identity to the Federal Trade Commission and I also have enclosed copies of the Federal Trade Commission 's Identity Theft Report. I offer my testimony herein that I have not authorized or given anyone access to my private and confidential records and certainly not the alleged information showing on my credit report. I therefore request that you immediately remove these information from my credit report with your firm pursuant of the FCRA Section 605b. Here is the list of accounts that should be deleted from my Credit File as soon as possible : EQUIFAX : XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Owed : {$110.00} XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$1300.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX Balance Owed : {$2600.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$790.00} XXXX XXXX XXXX Balance XXXX XXXX {$4400.00} XXXX XXXX  XXXX XXXX Balance Owed : {$0.00}. Also, you have been continuing the reporting of these accounts without sending me copies of proof of verification, which is a clear violation of my consumer rights under the FCRA. If you can not prove that the disputed accounts are accurate, you should have removed these accounts immediately.

Issue: Incorrect information on your report
Sub-issue: Public record information inaccurate

Complaint:
I've been in contact with Checkr several times already to update them with changes to my background report. 

I had a negative item removed or SEALED on my driving record, which is good for XXXX and XXXX and satisifies now all the driving requirements to be a driver in good standing with either company. 

Checkr refuses to update my background history with the latest information. My record was sealed back on XX/XX/2022. This is several months ago. It has since then been updated in the DMV system whereby ... when you do a search on my background report ... no negative information comes up about me now. This is a relief when it comes to being employed. Thank God! 

However, XXXX XXXX XXXX have an old driving record for me which has not been updated. I'm just pulling my hair out day after day, not making any money because they won't update my driving record with the new information. They are basing their decision on old information. Checkr has done nothing about this and likewise XXXX XXXX XXXX. This is a serious problem and a legal one too. 

I haven't done anything so criminal that they can't fix this. What they " sealed '' was a minor infraction and in fact a dropped case. 

Please help me CFPB... Please
