What a racket!  This is Santander?  I pay every one of my payments on time.  Originally it was with HSBC but now it's with this outfit...anyway.  Every several months I get a SKIP A PAYMENT coupon with my regular car payment.  I have never taken advantage of it but in June I did to help pay down some other bills & stuff.  I did exactly what was requested to comply.  In my July statement, the balance of SKIP A PAYMENT was not included with the balance AND THERE WAS A FEE!!!  I have been fighting with this company ever since & they keep calling me telling me that they cannot honor it because they never received anything from me stating I wanted to SKIP A FREAKING PAYMENT!  What recourse do I have now?  I have written letters, emails, spoken to various individuals not entitled to make a decision, sent copies & more copies.  Every other payment is on time.  If I were shady, would I lie about THIS?  Doubtful, after paying on time every month.  Venting is good.  Good luck to all of you with this company.  I think they are crooked.

They call me and I owe them nothing nor am I a cosigner for anyone

My wife and i had a car we got when the company was HSBC and since then was handed off too two other companys. Last month we got tired of the Santander charging us money to make a payment so i went and traded the car in at the same place we bout it. Santander keeps calling us saying we are late on our payments for a car we no longer own. The funny thing is the car lot we traded the other car at has already sold it so whats the deal how do they want me to pay for a car they don't even own.

That is impossible.  Companies can not do that.  They are calling me numerous times a day because I am late on my payment.  They only call during normal operating/business hours that are allowable.

In accordance with the federal FDCPA, now that you have received this "stop calling" letter, you may only contact me to inform me that you:

Yes this is Santander and they are looking for whom ever is late on there car loan, or what ever. My husband has a loan with them. Was purchased from the original loan company. You are late one day they are calling none stop. They have offices in Dallas, TX and Fort Worth and Atlanta, Ga.  santanderconsumerusa.com and 1-888-222-4227

I have been receiving calls also from this number 214 237 3670 but when I answer no one answers on the other line and they keep calling almost every other day and hanging up.....in the caller Id it appears the name "santander." It is becoming frustrating and very upsetting.

Be careful of phone calls you received....
In Mexico many people have lost their little money due to fraudulent phone calls.  Thieves are now calling the elderly with stories to make them believe that a loved one is in troubled and in need of money. Many elderly have wired/deposit thousands of dollars believing the story to later find out it was all a lie from cruel people.

These idiots bought out Citifinacial Auto divison.  Received nothing in the mail and continued to send the payments to Citifinancial. Payments did not get processed because they had to be transfered to Drive or Santander then was credited 5 business days later which made it late the day after the due date they started calling 5 times a day, now I see they have charged a larger late fee than under the Citibank contract that I signed because it took them longer to process (and this was electronic payment),  A$$H***s.

This is Santander Consumer USA.  They recently bought CitiFinancial's auto loans.  They call my cell and work numbers repeatedly, all day, everyday, despite my requests to stop calling me at work.

My account was bought by Santander in September, and I am half a month behind.  They treat me like I haven't paid for months and are constantly telling me they've initiated collection activity - whatever that's supposed to mean.

Santander (formerly Drive Financial) also have location / phone numbers in San Diego of 619-757-1241 and 619-757-1242.

don't know who these people are.

They call and either no one is on the line or if I don't answer, leave a voice mail that when I listen to is just someone heavy breathing until my voice mail runs out.  

A lot of people get a few days behind here and there due to paydays etc.  BUT AT LEAST leave a message of who is calling and why......GEEZ.     Maybe the mail was late getting something to them.   BUT I cannot pay a bill if I have no clue who is calling.

OH MY!! They are driving me nuts. They called me after I was 3 days late on my payment. Had emergency surgery the day it was due. Didn't think about the payment. They have called every day 5- 10 per days. I spoke with the lady the 1st time they called and explained to her my situation and that I would make a payment as soon as I was able to get out of the bed. She started yelling at me. Couldn't believe it. Can't wait til the car is paid off. Citifinancial was much better.

Someone called about a Larry This was on my cel

i hate these people  (Santander) if you are one day late they start calling.. they are pest to say the least.. i cant wait till this freaking car loan is over. i lost my job last year and i have been late a few times but like a week at most.. they are rude and just plain  aggravating as hell. they willcall you at least 4-5 times a day and they start at 7 AM and on up to 9 at night.  i have never had my number changed but if they keep bugging me and my wife i will have my phone number changed. they are jerks..
