Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc Consumer Loan Complaint

Santander Consumer USA Holdings Inc Consumer Loan department,

Vehicle loan Taking out the loan or lease Arizona

In - - I got an auto loan through Santander Consumer. In - - I traded my car in for a newer vehicle and went to a different lender that paid off the loan I had with Santander consumer USA. Throughout my two year loan with Santander I had no issues and my payments were paid on time through my online bill pay every month. On - - - I went to make a payment to my current leader through my bank website like I have done in the past, however I inadvertently sent a - check to Santander ( who I still had listed in my bill pay ). On - - I realized that I sent my check to the wrong lender and called my bank to stop payment. My bank told me they could not do anything because it was direct funds and was already cashed so I would need to call Santander Consumer USA and have them send the check back. On the same day I did called Santander and was told by a representative that there will be a 15 day hold on the check before they refund the payment. I advised the representative that


to a supervisor and she said that they are not available but will have - call me back. Later that day I went to my bank and talked to a banker and they called Santander to explain that the check was cleared from my bank account. My bank also faxed to them the receipt from my bank account. Santander said it will take up to 2 business days to upload to their system to review. My banker called Santander back two days later and was told they need my bank statement printed out. My banker sent Santander my tracking confirmation from my banks fraud department and was told again that it will take two business days to review. Two days later my banker called Santander and was told they can not talk to her about the account but any refunds will take up to -45 days. At this time I was getting frustrated and called Santander myself, I spoke to a supervisor from their headquarters that transferred me back to their call center. I started recording my calls and as soon as I told them they were being recorded they told me they can not talk to me and hung up. I have sent Santander the receipt of payment that shows the funds that were sent from my account. I do not think they need my entire bank statement that has not even been sent out to me yet. Santander is keeping my - and accruing interest in their account, - of which should be in my account. They have not made any further attempt to contact me in regards to this " overpayment '' even though they have all my information from my closed account with them to do so. Overall, dealing with them has been frustrating as I have been given many conflicting statements from different call center representatives.
