Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: PA

Complaint narrative:
I have been having ongoing issues once again with Santander Bank. I do not understand how this Bank stays in business. My most recent complaint now is that I have a personal loan with Santander Bank that I got several years ago. I pay the loan every month through my Santander checking account. I have recently asked if they could change the due date from the XXXX of the month until the XXXX or XXXX of the month and they put an inquiry in about this on or about XX/XX/XXXX. I am following up because I still don't know what the status of this request is. I called their customer service number this morning and got a foreign agent who after asking me so many questions said I still didn't authenticate my account and hung up on me. I then called the corporate office and the right arm doesn't know what the left arm is doing and they said that I should be receiving a form which I was told that by them over a week or so ago and then they mentioned something about paying {$25.00}. I hung up because I am getting too aggravated to deal with this outrageous conduct.

2. This account does not belong to me! 
According to the FCRA section 605 B, it is illegal to report anything on my credit report without my permission. Please remove this negative item immediately. I will seek litigation for this violation if not removed from all three credit bureaus. Under the FCRA, you are required to investigate and ensure that all information reported on consumer credit reports is accurate and up-to-date.

Please confirm in writing that the collection account has been deleted from my credit report or provide a detailed explanation of why it remains. If this account is not removed within the statutory timeframe of 30 days as required by the FCRA, I will take further action, considering other legal remedies available to me.

Complaint narrative:
I have had a credit card from Best Buy for about 10 years. This past XXXX they started charging {$50.00} per yaer. They actually started the year before but I had not noticed. My bank changed credit cards so Best Buy could not get thier payment automatically. So they sent me a paper bill. I told them I no longer wanted thier card, but they said the charge was already made so therefor I have to pay. I told them to cancel the card, but they said the charge was already made so I would have to pay. 

Any way I will not pay, thats not the problem, but I don't think they should be able to secretly start charging then keep the charge even after I canceled. Also I have not used the charge card since XX/XX/year>. 

Also I lost the card years ago. I have no idea what the card number was.
