Issue: Problems when you are unable to pay — 
Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc. (CA)

Santander Consumer keeps calling me at work. I have informed them over a year ago to note the account that my employer prohibits these calls and I could lose my job if they keep this up. I have also informed them that unfortunately I can not keep the vehicle due to XXXX wage garnishments. XXXX from the federal government for student loans and XXXX from the state of California for back taxes. I have asked them If I can return the vehicle for a voluntary repossession. They are not listening to me and keep asking for payment, they said they will not come get the vehicle. They have called me XXXX times at work in the past few months with the last call one day during the week of XXXX XXXX 2015. I am tired of asking them where I can drop off the vehicle and they really need to stop calling me at work. My boss is already difficult and he is not happy about these calls. These people know what they are doing and this harassment is not warranted. I want to press any charges that are available to me. I am sorry I defaulted on the loan it was not my intention. I barely have the money to live on and they are stressing me unecessarily.

I 'm receiving repeated phone calls to my cell #. They identify themselves as Reliant Capital Solutions, then ask for me to confirm personal info ( SSN, DOB, current address ). I 've told them I wo n't confirm or provide information unless I have a valid reason to do so. I 've asked the purpose of the call, and they continue to refuse to provide any info ( including what kind of firm they are, any money I might owe to anybody ) unless I confirm my SSN and DOB - which it seems they already have. I contacted the Ohio Atty General 's office and have filed an official complaint. The AG 's office told me they have a " significant '' # of complaints filed against them. I also pulled my credit report and score ( I have excellent credit with a score over XXXX ) and nothing is noted. I asked to speak with a manager and XXXX XXXX at Reliant also refused to provide any info about why they 're calling unless I provide them with personal info. When I told XXXX XXXX I did n't know why they were calling, he said, " You know why we 're calling ''. I googled Reliant - they 're a debt collector. I went to their XXXX, OH office yesterday ( with my checkbook ) and offered my driver 's license as proof of identity and they refused it. I 've checked with any creditors I might owe money to and nobody 's reporting I owe them anything. I 'm happy to pay anyone I might owe money to, but if I do, Reliant is delaying this process and preventing resolution of this issue. I also contacted local XXXX TV investigation team yesterday, they tried to speak with Reliant 's attorney ( who I 'd spoken with ) and she refused - she ran away! Reliant has said they 'll send me a letter with details. The XXXX team told me Reliant has given {$65000.00} in campaign contributions to Ohio 's Attorney General.

I have debt that the company Alliance One is trying to collect from me. They sent me a letter regarding the debt stating to call them to set up a payment plan agreement, i then called and they stated they dont do payment arrangements and that they wanted the whole debt paid off or they will pursue legal ways to deal with me. I then asked to speak to a supervisor seeing that this wasnt right in how they are treating people. After futher looking into the debt that they are trying to collect from me, its to old of debt back from XX/XX/XXXX which is way past the Statue of Limitations laws in the state of washington regarding debt. I received a phone call yesterday on XXXX regarding the debt and they were overly aggressive, rude, and threatened to sue me and garnish my wages over debt that was to old to collect besides the XXXX parking tickets from XXXX courts. I told them at the moment i was homeless and did not have that much money to my name and that i was recovering from a car accident from XXXX XXXX. They did not care and said there attorneys already filed with the courts and the only way to stop the garnishment was to pay the biggest ticket at that time. So i took money i did not really have and paid {$260.00} to Alliance One and they said if i did not pay them {$300.00} a month on a XXXX that they will sue me. They have broken the federal fair debt collection practice act and i would like this dealt with immediately. I dont appreciate being threatened especially over time-barred debt that legally they cant do. The debt that they were threatening to sue me for were old cable bills with click cable located in XXXX WA. XXXX of them wasnt even in my name it was in my wifes name. I have gotten an attorney on the matter as well and would like for this divsion to also look into how this collection agencie is breaking federal laws.
