Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
Subject : Cease and Desist Unauthorized Collection Activities and Removal from Credit Report Dear SANTANDER CONSUMER USA, I am writing to express my deep concern and dissatisfaction regarding your recent actions in accessing my non-personal information without consent and attempting to coerce me into paying a debt for which I am not obligated. Your actions not only breach my privacy but may also constitute a violation of identity fraud laws. 

It has come to my attention that SANTANDER CONSUMER USA has added an account to my credit report without my authorization. I must emphasize that even in the case of permissible purpose, the consent of the consumer is required, which, in this instance, I have not granted. This egregious breach of privacy demands immediate correction by removing SANTANDER CONSUMER USA from my credit report. 

Moreover, I am alarmed by the fact that your company has contacted me without obtaining the necessary consent to do so. I want to make it unequivocally clear that I do not wish to engage in any business dealings with SANTANDER CONSUMER USA, and I am under no legal obligation to do so. 

In accordance with Texas-specific laws, I refer to the following sections : 1. Texas Finance Code 392.202 : Unauthorized Access to XXXXonsumer Information - SANTANDER CONSUMER USA accessing my non-personal information without consent is a violation of this code, and I demand an immediate cessation of such activities. 

2. Texas Finance Code 392.202 : Coercive Collection Practices- Attempting to coerce me into paying a debt I am not obligated to pay constitutes a violation of this code. 

Furthermore, the actions taken by SANTANDER CONSUMER USA may also be in violation of federal laws, including : 1. Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ( 1 ) ( A ) : - Adding an unauthorized account to my credit report without proper consent is a direct violation of the FCRA. 

2. Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692c : - Contacting me without my consent is a breach of the FDCPA. 

I demand that SANTANDER CONSUMER USA cease and desist all unauthorized collection activities immediately, remove the inaccurate information from my credit report, and confirm this action in writing within 15 days of receiving this letter. Failure to comply with these demands will leave me with no choice but to pursue legal remedies available to me under both state and federal law. 

I expect your prompt attention to this matter. 

Sincerely, XXXX XXXX
