My daughter is the primary person on the account and I am the co-signer. During COVID, my daughter lost her job, and had a hard time getting payments on time. XXXX agreed to make payment arrangements and in many cases, the account was in a payment arrangement but per XXXX, they are not structured to note that payments were being made. Instead, it is showing the accounts past due. Last year, I finally got my daughter to trade the car and the car was paid in full. To this day, it's still showing in my credit report, even after I have asked XXXX  to send the notification to the bureaus and this has been months, and still not resolve. I am trying my best to get my credit situated and I have disputed this matter many times.

The Fair Credit Reporting Act ( 15 U.S. Code 1681 ) says ( 1 ) The banking system is dependent upon fair and accurate credit reporting. Inaccurate credit reports directly impair the efficiency of the banking system, and unfair credit reporting methods undermine the public confidence which is essential to the continued functioning of the banking system. 

So whenever there is a violation under the FCRA, it impairs the efficiency of the banking system. This is a violation of my privacy with my consumer report, since I control what is listed and what is not. In the event that any accounts are reported without my written consent, that is considered identity theft. 

This is a violation of both 15 U.S. Code 1681b ( 2 ) and 15 U.S. Code 1681c-2. This leads way to civil liability against the credit reporting agency for negligent and willful noncompliance under 15 U.S. Code 1681n, which allows for {$1000.00} per violation, for account listed without my expressed written consent.

Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC. (NJ)

HI, In XXXX of last year 2023 I went into my local branch where i was banking to inquire about a personal loan. My Credit score was perfect. at XXXX i believe. I was approved on the first day. When i asked how much the interest will be they told me between 7 and 9 percent. 

I then was given a whole bunch of papers and was told where to sign. I asked what i was signing i was told that i am signing that i am accepting the terms. I don't not recall seeing the 17 and a quarter percent interest. I would never have taken the loan for that amount of interest. I still wasn't sure what the exact amount would be. But my banker assured me it wouldn't be more than 9 percent. 

I had set up auto pay at time that i got the loan. When first payment came I was devestate i was being charged 17 and a quarter percent interest. I continued making the payments every month since. But, requested a deferment to try to refinance it a year later. 

They only allowed a 2 month deferment. i did not want to ruin my credit, so i continued making payments even though i knew i was being cheated. 

In addition when i was a few months late they added up to {$86.00} late fees. I recently requested for those fees to be reimbursed. But, to no avail. 

There is definitely illegitimate practices happening within Santander. Every time i call i get the same person picking up the phone. There seems to be some kind of a telephone cyber criminal enterprise. This sounds crazy... but i have dozens of recordings of my conversations with Santander. 

I hope the CFPB can help resolve this for me. I have tried numerous times including just filing a lawsuit against them on my own. 

But, I beileve something big is going on. like some kind of international cyber criminal activity. I am happy to explain more in person.
