Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc Consumer Loan Complaint

Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc Consumer Loan department,

Vehicle loan Taking out the loan or lease Massachusetts

I just spoke with your customer service who told me to refile this claim as it was determined you can assist me in my case. My fiance purchased a vehicle and this auto loan was financed through Santander Consumer USA in -, T- at 21 % interest. In Massachusetts, it was confirmed by the Attorney General 's office that this is against state law and the usury department at the Attorney General 's office confirmed that the bank DID NOT register or seek approval in advance to write loans exceeding the state cap of 20 %. They are willing to put this in writing. We contacted Santander Consumer USA and they declined taking the vehicle back, voiding the loan and refunding what we have paid. According to state law, the loan is invalid and needs to be negated by a supreme court judge. The legal department had advised Santander Customer service to cease and desist collection practices as of -/-/16, but they could not tell us why. I have full authorization to speak on behalf of my fiance on the auto loan. We have been passed in circles from Attorney General 's office, Consumer Protection Agency, Usury Department of the


contingency fee basis, but we have hit a dead end. We give them basic information, they claim they think they can help us then never return our calls. This bank just settled a lawsuit filed by the Massachusetts Attorney General for predatory lending practices ( charging higher than the state cap ) but since that case was settled, we are basically left scrambling to obtain assistance until they receive enough similar cases to proceed with a new case. We need to stop being referred in circles and actually obtain assistance. We were told by - separate agencies that your bureau oversees Santander bank. The only documents we have are from the bank denying our request as mentioned above. The attorney general 's office is in the process of mailing the document stating they did not register with the AGO to write loans exceeding 20 %. Which is why our loan should be considered null and void.
