Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: GA

Complaint narrative:
I am being billed for an auto loan by Santander Consumer USA despite receiving a written denial letter dated XX/XX/year>, stating that my loan request for a XXXX  XXXX XXXX ( submitted on or around XX/XX/year> ) had been declined. 

Despite the denial, Santander created loan account # XXXX in my name and began billing me {$1000.00} monthly on a balance of over {$46000.00}. I did not authorize this loan, and no valid contract exists I was even told verbally by a Santander representative that no contract was on file. 

On XX/XX/year>, I contacted Santander via their online chat assistant and clearly stated that I was being billed for a denied loan. I explained that this message was being recorded and that I was seeking resolution. Instead of being connected with an agent or having the issue escalated, I was dismissed and given irrelevant responses. My concerns were not addressed. 

This situation raises serious issues of unauthorized loan origination, fraudulent billing, and misrepresentation. I am requesting that Santander immediately halt all billing, correct this account, provide written clarification, and remove any related negative marks from my credit report.

Consumer complaint received 2025-07-03 00:00:00
Product: Vehicle loan or lease — Loan
Issue: Managing the loan or lease — Problem with fees charged
Company: HUNTINGTON NATIONAL BANK, THE
State: KY

Complaint narrative:
Huntington Bank extended a car loan to me on XX/XX/year>. Their loan contract states that the Amount Financed was {$32000.00}. I have attached a copy of this contract. 

Upon enrolling in the bank 's online banking I noticed that the bank had added an additional {$230.00} " Financed Fees '' to my loan balance. The Huntington loan contract shows that a {$230.00} " Loan Fee '' was already netted out to derive the {$32000.00} Amount Financed. 

This additional {$230.00} charge added to the Amount Financed was not disclosed in the TILA section of the contract, nor knowingly agreed to by me. No where did the contract indicate that an extra {$230.00} would be subsequently added to my loan balance outside of the contract terms. 

When I asked Huntington Bank CEO XXXX XXXX that this {$230.00} charge be refunded to my account, along with all interest accrued on that amount, his representative refused. They said this fee was include in the loan contract and pointed to a different total buried in the fine print. 

Telling a borrower they are borrowing a certain amount in the TILA disclosure and then sneakily adding an additional {$230.00} to their principal balance seems dishonest to me. I suspect Huntington Bank has duped many a borrower with this deceptive practice to further enrich themselves. 

I don't know if this practice is legal. But it sure is unethical.

Company: Experian Information Solutions Inc.
State: CA

Complaint narrative:
Im writing because I discovered a credit inquiry on my report that I did not authorize or consent to in any way. This inquiry was done online and is completely fraudulentI had no knowledge of it until I reviewed my credit report.

Let me be absolutely clear : I did not apply for any credit, service, or product that would have required this inquiry. I never gave anyone permission to access my credit file, and I certainly did not authorize it through any online platform. This is a clear violation of my rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), which requires any credit inquiry to be made only with my explicit consent and for a legitimate, permissible purpose.
