Santander consumer USA/ Chrysler Capital Youre violating your obligations and my consumer protection laws by exposing borrowers with subprime credit into auto loans with a high chance of default.

I demand deletion on my 3 or 4 major reports you have report it to now! I will also put a complaint to the office of currency and trade commission if you still violating and still excusing yourself with Chrysler Capital is the indirect lender and assignee of the Contract. The approval of an assignment of any contract, including yours,
is based on the information provided to us by the customer and the Dealership. The terms of the Contract were negotiated with the Dealership at the time of purchase. Yet, its still a Chrysler Capital. Chrysler Capital is a registered trademark of XXXX XXXX XXXX and licensed to Santander Consumer USA XXXX. Lease agreements are owned by XXXX XXXX XXXX XXXX and serviced by Chrysler Capital. 

By yet you state that the dealership XXXX XXXX XXXX and Trade Name ( " Doing Business As ... '' ) : XXXX XXXX XXXX .. 

Please do your obligations and delete the contract from my credit reports. You repossessed, you sold the car, you got the money. And you violated my rights and still want me to pay off. And not giving me a chance to breathe. Its just mind blowing.
