Issue: Problem with a credit reporting company's investigation into an existing problem
Sub-issue: Their investigation did not fix an error on your report

Complaint:
This company XXXX XXXX Acct XXXX XXXX is in clear violation of several consumer laws put in place to protect consumers like myself from willful disregard of basic consumer rights. *Under 15 U.S. Code 1681b Permissible purposes of consumer reports I never gave you any written consent to report anything on my consumer reports no consent is fraud. *Under 15 U.S. Code 1692j - Furnishing certain deceptive forms I am not participating in the collection of this alleged debt. Cease and desist asap *Under 15 U.S. Code 1602 ( p ) - unauthorized use of my information As defined by the IRS Even if you didn't receive a tax form 1099-c you must report cancelled debt and gross income The IRS clearly states charge off as income the reporting of this account is inaccurate. I have done my own investigation and have researched numerus legal cases in which other consumers were victims of the same things that I am now experiencing, and the courts have ruled each an every time that the credit reporting agency could not merely parrot information from the creditors and/or collection agencies. you are required to conduct your own independent reasonable investigations to ensure the validity of the debt and the honesty, and integrity of the creditor and/or collection agency in question. Sending out generic form. Through the e-Oscar system that does not even contain my reasons for the dispute is not reasonable. Also according to 15 USC 1681 everything has to be 100 % accurate on my consumer report. There are several inaccuracies as it pertains to the reporting of this erroneous account. ( Date last active, date opened, dispute status )

Consumer complaint received 2021-05-27
Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: FL
Product: Vehicle loan or lease
Sub-product: Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease
Sub-issue: Billing problem

Complaint:
I have an auto loan with Santander USA and currently waiting for a total loss insurance check to be applied to my account in the amount of {$10000.00}. Since the origination of the loan in XX/XX/XXXX I have never had a missed or late payment. My last statement from Santander USA dated XX/XX/XXXX listed the total amount outstanding as {$13000.00}, the status of my account was current, {$0.00} past due. 

On inquiring via the Santander website XXXX if the insurance check had been applied to my account I instantly noted that my account shows past due in the amount of {$1200.00} which includes late and interest charges and shows the last payment being received/posted to my account on XX/XX/XXXX, XXXX. My Account transaction history clearly shows payments of {$440.00} made and posted on XXXX and XX/XX/XXXX. The transaction history also shows 2 seperate transactions dated XX/XX/XXXX removing/reversing 2 payments of {$440.00} and the balance owed on my account as of XXXX is {$13000.00} Santander USA 's explanation is that both payments have been removed so that the insurance check can be backdated to XX/XX/XXXX ( date of total loss ) and the payments will be reapplied. I have never heard of an accounting practice that would require payments physically posted to an account to be removed to retroactively apply {$10000.00} insurance check. This action has effectively places my account into a delinquent status until some future date when Santander USA decides to post the insurance check. Addtionally, Satanders action falsely records my account as delinquent and I am truely concerned this will have a derogatory impact on my credit status with credit bureaus. I strongly believe this action is unethical at best and fraudlent at worst. I can only see the reasoning to remove posted payments to manipulate the true balance of my account for Santander to charge the maximum interest it can recover.

Complaint:
My compliant is against Chase Account # XXXX, open XX/XX/2016, status closed and paid, {$XXXX} balance. Back on the XXXX of XXXX I sent a letter to the mention company that the account had fraud charges and had to be removed as required by the Fair Credit Reporting Act. This company not even took the decency of marking or investigating my account once they received my dispute letter. They did not only disregard my letter but also a Federal Trade Commission Report that was included with the letter. I want my financial freedom back and if this company does not remove fraud related account from all 3 credit bureaus and provides me with deletion letter trough CFPB, I will take this case to court and let the judge decide this dispute. This is unfair business practices, negligence, and the list of violations can go on once I seat down with my lawyers. So Im using the CFPB as my last resource for the mentioned company to remove account from all 3 reports. Im attaching the letter I sent to them, the FTC report sent to them and also proof of fax that receive the documents. Thank you!

Issue: Other features, terms, or problems
Sub-issue: Other problem

Complaint:
On XX/XX/XXXX my XXXX credit card was compromised and fraudulently charged by several different merchants, including XXXX ( online streaming service provider ). My card issuer, Elan Financial Services, created a fraud case to investigate the charges. Additionally, they closed the the compromised card and reissued a new card. On XX/XX/XXXX, while reviewing and paying my bill online, I recognized that I was charged again on XX/XX/XXXX ( 1 month from the previous fraudulent charge ) from XXXX. Upon speaking with Elan Card Member Services, they informed me the merchant likely participates in a program called XXXX Account Updater ( XXXX ), https : XXXX, where merchants can query ( either real-time periodic batching ) to obtain updated account information for its customers with credentials-on-file. In this case, Sling is a participant and although the account was fraudulent and the previous charges in-dispute, queried the VAU service and obtained the new card information. Upon reviewing the website and taking note this is a pay-for service offered to XXXX 's merchants and acquirers, I asked Elan if there was an opt out for the program. Elan instructed me that since the program is administered by XXXX, meaning Elan didn't specifically provide any additional information other than the standard data sharing required to operate my account on a day-to-day basis, I would have to reach out to XXXX directly. I then contacted XXXX explaining my preference to opt out of the program. I was then told my Visa that the card issuer opts to share VAU data specifically and if I choose not to have my card information shared the issuer, Elan Financial Services, would need to opt my account out of sharing. I asked XXXX to provide these instructions in writing, given the issuer had instructed me to opt out through XXXX directly. Finally, I followed back up with Elan to inform them XXXX said it was an opt in program for the issuer and they own opting their cardholders out. I have the written documentation from XXXX and awaiting written documentation from Elan ( fax request was sent XX/XX/XXXX )

Complaint:
I had cosigned a note with my grandson for a motorcycle with XXXX XXXX, Due to Covid, employment was lost due to the pandemic, I worked with XXXX XXXX to repossess the bike with a verbal agreement they would not hold me responsible. This was over 3 years ago. Since that time they listed it as Charged Off Due to Natural Disaster. The account has been purchased by other organizations repeatedly, Every couple of months they change the wording on the charge off so they can resubmit this and keep it at the top of my report. My score is greatly affected and when I file a dispute and they fix it, it is reported again and moved back to the top of my reports. 

I feel this is nothing more than harrassment from the people who purchase the loans and continually sell the off to another to report it again. My credit is perfect other than this continuing problem with this from XXXX XXXX.
