Complaint:
I obtained a loan from Santander in XX/XX/XXXX. In XXXX of XXXX I became unable to work due to Medical issues. Santander has known about this for nearly a year, and My spouse who is also on the loan is the only one currently employed ; and has been at her employer for 3 yrs. We began to struggle with our monthly payments of {$540.00} on the loan. I have contacted Santander numerous times trying to find a way to get this current and even asked about a refinance ; Santander said they do not refinance their own loans. It is destroying my credit and causing more and more fees to be added to my loan amount. I contacted Santander again on XX/XX/XXXX and asked about a deferment or any type of help to try and bring the account current. I was informed they would NOT assist in any way, and that I must bring my account current and keep it current. This loan is a predatory loan and Santander needs to stop preying on those who are less than fortunate. I explained to Santander that I am currently looking for new employment ; but regardless, there is still an employed person who is listed on the loan ; in fact, my Spouse is listed as the Primary on the loan. We are being forced to continue to go deeper and deeper in debt with this company, and they are unwilling to offer any help ; in hopes to repossess the vehicle and keep us hanging for the balance. This loan is for a XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX. Santander even sent a letter saying to call them and they may be able to help get the account current ; However, they are only concerned about us bringing the account current by FULL PAYMENT of the  past due amount, not by any assistance they are willing to offer.

The results from the software/service were inconsistent, and when updates were announced they were never given in a timely manner. I have taken further measures to file a class action lawsuit against the company ( XXXX XXXX XXXX for their deceptive marketing. PNC informs me that they would look into the matter and to check back in with them in XXXX  days. It is now the XXXX day and upon reaching back out to PNC they informed me that a dispute was never filed ( though I spoke with several representatives on different occasions confirming the filing of the dispute for the return of my money ) thus leading me to believe that I as a customer do not matter and with the lack of effort by PNC my money would not be returned without assistance from someone. Please help me, Ive lost all hopes of retrieving my money back and am having a hard time trusting this company moving forward.

Issue: Problem with a lender or other company charging your account
Sub-issue: Transaction was not authorized

Complaint:
I was a US Bank customer for more than 20years. When I went into the XXXX XXXX bank branch to close the account, I was told by XXXX the manager that I had a {$5000.00} loan linked to my account. I had never taken out a loan or credit of any type or amount from US Bank so I immediately told him it was fraudulent. XXXX became visibly angry and threatened me saying, " If you don't pay I will personally ruin your credit '', and started yelling at me to " get out ''. This was the most horrible and shocking treatment after being a customer for so long. I went to another branch and asked to see the the signed loan contract. The manager I spoke with admitted that it did not exist, and the loan was created by a US Bank employee without my knowledge, consent, or signature.. They had been deducting charges and charging me interest and late fees on a loan that was fraudulent. The manager told me she knew who the employee was who created the fraudulent loan. This is illegal and should be stopped.

Yes, if it has been 30 days since the final payment resolving your account successfully posted, PRA requested the credit reporting agencies delete the PRA tradeline related to your account from your credit bureau report.

My account was paid in full for less than the full balance but it was not deleted. I am requesting that this tradeline be deleted from a
