Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: NJ

Complaint narrative:
I purchased a vehicle and the dealership secured the loan through Santander Consumer. At the time of purchase, the dealership showed me the contract and the terms and conditions. The contract did not convey full transparency, for me as a consumer to make an educated decision, and fully understand what was to be expected throughout the term of the loan. I was told by the dealership that after XXXX  months of payments that I could refinance the vehicle. However, when I had the vehicle appraised, it was discovered that the car was appraised less than half of what the final price of the vehicle. I received appraisals for XXXX, XXXX and XXXX for the vehicle that practically knew. I also discovered that after all the payments Ive made, majority of the payment went towards interest and not the principal balance. XX/XX/year> my principal balance was {$35000.00} as of today my payoff is {$34000.00}. The contract stated that it was a simple interest loan. But that terminology doesnt explain to consumers the financial implications of that type of loan for an automobile purchase. Based on the loan amount, in less XXXX months Ive paid {$6300.00} in total payments and {$5000.00} went towards interest. Due to the predatory nature of the loan, I am upside down and unable to refinance due to the negative equity. Nowhere in the contract does it explain that to the consumer. When I contacted Santander Consumer, none of the representatives were supportive and helped me with a resolution to this issue. They offered no reconciliation or solution. As a result, I did research and found that Santander consumer has had multiple lawsuits and penalties across the country where they were found to have put consumers in loans that had a 70 % or more chance of defaulting. I believe that I am in one of these types of loans.

Complaint narrative:
Reviewed most recent credit report and I noticed collection account that did not belong to me. After reaching out to the creditors, I was advised they did not have a record on file of me ever applying for credit with their company. The creditor advised me to contact the CRA to have the inquiry disputed and investigated as they do not have the ability to do so. 

After contacting the CRA I was met with push-back even though I expressed the inquires in questions did not belong to me and the creditors agreed the inquiries are not attached to any file or application they have with my personal accurate information.
