Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: FL

Complaint narrative:
In 2022, I voluntarily surrendered my vehicle to Santander Consumer USA. Santander issued a Form 1099-A to the IRS that year, classifying the vehicle as abandoned or foreclosed. The IRS accepted the filing, confirming that Santander reported the asset as reclaimed and ceased collection for tax purposes. 

Despite this, Santander continues to report an outstanding balance and derogatory tradeline to the credit reporting agencies creating the false impression that I still owe a debt that, under federal tax law and credit reporting obligations, should have been resolved. 

This reporting is both inaccurate and misleading, violating the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA, 15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( a ) ), which mandates that all furnished information be complete and accurate. By continuing to report this account as delinquent while also claiming the asset for tax loss recovery, Santander is attempting a double recovery, which is both deceptive and prejudicial. 

I have disputed this matter with the credit bureaus directly and received no adequate resolution. The account remains listed with a balance and late payment status, despite the IRS filing confirming the matter was closed.
