Product: Debt collection — I do not know
Issue: False statements or representation — Attempted to collect wrong amount
Company: SANTANDER HOLDINGS USA, INC.
State: TX

Complaint narrative:
To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the validity of the alleged debt referenced above. I have reviewed the information provided regarding this account and have identified material discrepancies that require resolution in compliance with applicable federal and state laws.

1. Reporting of Charged-Off Account This account appears to have been charged off by the original creditor. As a charged-off account, it should reflect a {$0.00} balance on my credit report, consistent with the guidelines established by the Fair Credit Reporting Act ( FCRA ), 15 U.S.C. 1681 et seq., which mandates that credit reporting agencies and furnishers accurately report consumer information. Continuing to report a balance on a charged-off account creates an inaccurate credit record and may constitute a violation of the FCRA. If this account was so
ld to a third party, only the current owner of the debt may report a balance. Please confirm whether the original creditor transferred or sold this account and provide documentation substantiating any such transfer.

2. Non-Issuance of IRS Form 1099-C If the creditor has determined the debt to be uncollectible and reported it as such, Internal Revenue Code ( IRC ) 6050P requires the issuance of Form 1099-C for debts forgiven or discharged in amounts of {$600.00} or more. To date, I have not received a Form 1099-C, raising questions about the accuracy of the creditor 's charge-off status and the legitimacy of any attempt to collect on this account.

3. Validation of Debt Pursuant to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act ( FDCPA ), 15 U.S.C. 1692g, I request comprehensive validation of this debt, including : Proof of the original amount owed, the breakdown of fees and interest, and evidence of the account 's charge-off status.

Documentation showing the chain of ownership, including proof of assignment or sale of the account to your agency, if applicable.

Verification of compliance with state-specific statutes of limitations governing debt collection.

4. Request for Immediate Action In light of the discrepancies outlined above, I demand the following : Immediate cessation of all collection activity until this matter is resolved. Correction of any inaccurate reporting to the credit bureaus regarding the status of this account. If the account is invalid, immediate de
letion of the tradeline from my credit report.

Failure to comply with these requests may result in further action, including filing complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau ( CFPB ), the Federal Trade Commission ( FTC ), and my state attorney generals office, as well as pursuing legal remedies under the FCRA and FDCPA. 

I expect a written response to this dispute within 30 days, as required by law.
