Company: Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc.
State: VA

Complaint narrative:
Okay so I fell behind on my car payments. I was in the hole from the beginning because it was to my understanding I will get a bill in the mail stating how much I owed and how to pay. I did not receive these letter until my car payment was already past due. I tried to catch up the best I could at the time when I made my first payment I owed a total of roughly XXXX dollars I paid  XXXX of it that day and another XXXX a few days later. To bring the total amount due down and months owed. I had just got my pay check so I called last night on XX/XX/2017 to see how much I owed total to bring my current total amount due back to 0. I owed XXXX dollars this morning I woke up to find my car had been repossessed. I called Santander ( my loan company ) to see if I could make my payment of the full amount dude to get my car back and they refused to reinstate my loan after repossession due to failure to maintain timely payments. When it was partially their fault I was behind on my payments in the first place seeing as they never sent me any bills via certified mail. I take responsibility on my part because I should have been more diligent in finding out how much I owe and when payments were due. But I have always paid my bills via certified mail. They refuse to help me in anyway they keep telling me its company policy to not reinstate my vehicle even if I pay the current amount due in total they say they only way they will surrender the car back to me is I pay the loan off in full. I never received a written letter ( notice ) via certified mail notifying me that my car was in default and due for repossession. I live in XXXX and XXXX XXXX XXXX states in order for the lean company to reposesss your vehicle they must send you a written letter 10 days prior to repossession with the current amount due to give you a chance to pay the amount and keep your car. The company admitted to not sending me this letter stating that va law does not require this and they can come get it when they want. All I want to do is pay my amount due current and continue on with making my payments on time but they do not want to help me do so. Please help me.

Product: Debt collection — Other debt
Issue: Attempts to collect debt not owed — Debt was result of identity theft
Company: CNG HOLDINGS INC
State: IN

Complaint narrative:
I was originally contacted over the phone by XXXX XXXX to make arrangements to collect a debt. ( I did not record the date, but it might be over 30 days ago. ) When they told me the amount and what it was supposed to be for I was sure it was n't my debt. They had my SS #, my married name ( though that is no longer my legal name ), a birth day that was close to mine, an email address I 've never used, an address and an employer that were mine, but from the XX/XX/XXXX. 

The company the lease was from was XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX but i do n't know if that was a brick and mortar store or something online. XXXX said they did n't know either. The Leasing agency was XXXX out of NH. XXXX is out of CA. I live in Indiana, but not in the city that was used on the paperwork. I have n't lived there for almost 20 years. 

After explaining all this to a supervisor at XXXX XXXX I was told that I 'd have to dispute the debt and that they 'd send me something that I needed to respond to in 10 days. They did not send me anything in the next couple of weeks, and unfortunately I had not copied down all this info so I did n't know who to contact. 

Then I received a packet of info from XXXX that seemed to just be a copy of the debt they bought. It said our offices are " in receipt of your dispute '' but be advised we have contacted our client XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX who has confirmed the name and address listed on the account as well as the amount owed '' There was a toll free number from XXXX which I called. It was late in the day on Friday after XXXX. I got a very confused sounding man with a foreign accent who said I had to call XXXX instead. ( Though XXXX has sold the debt. ) I called and left a message. 

Today XXXX called and was very insistent that the debt was mine and I was just trying to shirk my responsibilities. I asked repeatedly to speak to a supervisor but was told it would not do any good because they knew it was me and I needed to stop lying and just pay. That isnt word for word, but is the jist. Eventually they let me speak to someone who acted more reasonable but told me I had to file a police report and send them a copy. 

I contacted my local police who told me that was n't how it worked and told me to have the XXXX call him. I tried calling back with that information but was put off until later. 

I do n't know what else I should be doing. Do I need to file reports somewhere else? Do I need to contact credit agencies?
