Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: CO

Complaint narrative:
Dear Sir/Madam, I am writing to formally complain about an issue I am facing with Santander Consumer USA Inc. following the full payoff of my auto loan for a XXXX XXXX XXXX on XX/XX/XXXX. Despite having overpaid by {$450.00}, I am encountering difficulties in getting this amount refunded in a manner that aligns with my preferences and concerns for personal security. 

After the loan was settled, I contacted Santander Consumer on XX/XX/XXXX, to arrange for my refund. I was informed that it would be issued more than a month later, on XX/XX/XXXX, and only via a debit card. I have specifically requested a refund via check, as I have never conducted transactions with them using a debit card and do not wish for a debit card containing my personal information to be created. 

Furthermore, I have reviewed all agreements and communications from Santander Consumer and found no stipulation or policy mandating that refunds must be issued on a debit card. The insistence on using this method, without offering any alternative, is not only inconvenient but also imposes unnecessary risks to my personal information security.

Given the lack of policy transparency and the imposition of an unsolicited payment method, I am seeking the assistance of the CFPB to secure a refund via check as initially requested. The resolution of this matter is not only critical for my personal financial management but also for ensuring that Santander Consumer adheres to fair and transparent business practices.

Thank you for your attention and assistance in this matter. I look forward to your timely intervention and a satisfactory resolution.

I told XXXX, XXXX, and Equifax to reinvestigate these accounts : XXXX XXXX XXXX : # XXXX. However, they stated everything was complete and accurate. But how is that possible if the open date, date of last activity and much more is incorrect. According to 15 USC 1681i ( 5 ), they are supposed to modify accounts that aren't reporting correctly.

15 U.S.C. 1681s-2 ( A ) ( 1 ) A person shall not furnish any information relating to a consumer to any consumer reporting agency if the person knows or has reasonable cause to believe that the information is inaccurate.

I have sent in multiple permissible purpose letters and Metro 2 compliant letters asking to delete this account due to the numerous inaccuracies, however these Bureau 's keep stating that the account has been verified and reporting accurately which is false. This is grounds for removal and deletion.

They also violated my rights under 15 U.S.C 1681 section 602 A ; which states I have the right to privacy. 15 U.S.C 1681 section 604 A section 2 ; states that a consumer reporting agency can not furnish a account without my written consent.

Complaint narrative:
I am writing to bring to your attention a matter regarding the denial of securities by XXXX c/o Avant, which I believe constitutes a violation of my rights under the Equal Credit Opportunity Act ( ECOA ). Recently, I submitted a registered security to XXXX XXXX XXXX, as per their requirements. However, my application was denied based on information provided by Equifax. It is pertinent to note that this denial occurred despite my XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXXXXXX XXXX XXXX, XXXX XXXX,, XXXX XXXX XXXX which should not be grounds for refusal of access to my securities. I firmly believe that denying access to my credit, particularly in the context of securities transactions, constitutes a form of security fraud. This action directly contradicts the principles outlined in the ECOA, which mandates equal access to credit without discrimination based on factors such as race, color, religion, national origin, sex, marital status, age, or because the applicant receives income from a public assistance program. I am seeking compensation for the denial of my securities by Equifax. I believe that such compensation is warranted given the violation of my rights under the ECOA and the inconvenience caused by the denial. Furthermore, I urge the CFPB to investigate this matter thoroughly to ensure that such discriminatory practices are addressed and prevented in the future. It is imperative that financial institutions uphold the principles of fairness and equality as mandated by federal law. Thank you for your attention to this matter. I kindly request acknowledgment of receipt of this email and any necessary steps for addressing this issue.
