Product: Mortgage — Home equity loan or line of credit (HELOC)
Issue: Struggling to pay mortgage — Applying for or obtaining a modification, forbearance plan, short sale, or deed-in-lieu
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: MA

Complaint narrative:
XXXX XX/XX/XXXX To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against Santander Bank regarding issues with my line of credit. 

Institution Details : Santander Bank XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Outstanding Debt Details : - Total Principal : - {$40000.00} - XXXX Credit Line Originally : {$41000.00} - Total Current Balance : {$51000.00} Account Information : -Account Number : ending in XXXX I have been making the minimum payments on my line of credit, with my last payment of {$510.00} made on XX/XX/XXXX from my Santander checking account ( Account Number : ending in XXXX ). I have been a loyal customer for XXXX years. 

However, when attempting to make the next payment of {$510.00} on XX/XX/XXXX, the payment was repeatedly returned to my checking account without explanation. Despite my efforts to resolve this, I received no answers. 

Several months later, I started receiving pre-foreclosure letters and texts. I eventually reached a representative and submitted the required financial package, including non-borrower details ( my mother 's information ). Despite this, I was asked to resubmit the same information along with additional documents not initially requested, such as proof that Santander was added to my insurance ( waiting on my insurance company to add as quickly as possible ) and confirmation that flood insurance was not needed. 

As of now, I owe {$11000.00} due by XX/XX/XXXX, which I can not pay in full. Additionally, I have faced issues accessing my bank statements online. I am now receiving threatening letters stating that my home will be auctioned off on XX/XX/XXXX. 

I utilized this line of credit to repair my roof and make other home XXXX. It is distressing to receive threats of repossession for a {$41000.00} line of credit. I have been paying my primary mortgage through XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX  for almost XXXX years and have been offered support options if I ever fell behind. It is shocking that Santander does not offer similar assistance for a line of credit. 

How is it possible that there is no payment plan option available? Considering the current economic crisis, how is this even legal? I have a XXXX father living with me, and I am the first homeowner in my immediate family since my parents immigrated to the XXXX. Families deserve better treatment during these difficult times. 

I have attached all necessary documentation for your review. I truly appreciate the existence of services like this to protect everyday families. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Complaint narrative:
On XX/XX/year>, a call was received from someone claiming to work at XXXX XXXX. The person asked whether or not I made a purchase at the store. The call verified it was me. I said I did not make this purchase. Later that day, a purchase of an XXXX with XXXX XXXX was made and the money was deducted from my Chase XXXX Checking Account. 

I filed a claim with Chase Bank that week. I was bounced around for weeks. Finally, I was allowed to request paperwork supporting this fraudulent charge and learned that the person bought it on line and picked it up at a local XXXX XXXX. 

There is no proof that XXXX checked for ID when the package was picked up. Chase Bank fraud denied the claim, on the grounds that they found XXXX XXXX 's response to be sufficient. However, the response said they confirmed the consumer via email verification, nothing that I have received. Chase bank fraud was unhelpful and told me to try resources outside the bank because they can't help me.

Complaint narrative:
My account with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX was never late! I have had exceptional payment history with XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX  XXXX and all payments were placed on Autopay. This late payment that is reporting is a result on a systematic error on their end processing my payment. 

This was clearly a billing error made the company and is not a reflection of my payment experience which violates USC Code 1681eb. This error has caused severe hard to my reputation, my character, my mode of living and to my family! 

I demand the late payment reported in those account to be removed. 

They are not in compliance with the following law. 15 USC 1666b and its requirements set the standards and the guidance for a creditor to treat a payment as late, yet they are reporting a payment as late and they did not comply with the law! 

15 USC 1666b ( a ) Time to make payments A creditor may not treat a payment on a credit card account under an open-end consumer credit plan as late for any purpose, unless the creditor has adopted reasonable procedures designed to ensure that each periodic statement including the information required by section 1637 ( b ) of this title is mailed or delivered to the consumer not later than 21 days before the payment due date. 


XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX Never Sent the periodic statement along with the disclosures from section 1637 ( b ). 


I have requested proof that this information was mailed or delivered 21 days before the payment due date and this information was requested in good faith pursuant rule 1002 and It was never provided. 

This is unfair, illegal, fraudulent, and not equitable to me as a consumer! 

Delete the late payments from my consumer reports
