I received a call from this number today (Santander), calling me, to tell me I needed to get in touch with my Ex, because she is 5 payments behind (no surprises there). First of all... not MY problem (I am not on the loan, don't have the vehicle, never even seen the vehicle)... secondly, contacting me about a contract/debt that I do NOT have with their company, and discussing the details of said contract/loan about a 3rd-party is ILLEGAL... lastly, how in the***** did they get my cell phone number?? I have informed the representative of that facts, and WILL press charges, and notify the Attorney General in my state, if they call a***n. $1000 fines, payable to ME for every call they make to my phone after today!

They have multiple lawsuits filed a***nst them for calling too much, harassing people. They already paid a person $571,000.00 because they harassed them. Join the class action suit by calling Davis and Norris attorneys in Birmingham Alabama. They would like to talk to you.
(888) 222-4227 - February 10th, 2014 8:22pm
Santander says I owe 9,400.00 on my vehicle which was paid off last year. Every payment made on time and I have the proof. Do not finance with them. They are scammers. Google search Santander lawsuits and see for yourself.
(888) 222-4227 - April 9th, 2014 6:00pm
These people need to be stopped. They keep asking for someone who I have no idea who it is. When you call back it says this number is not in service. Seems like a major scam to me.
(888) 222-4227 - March 11th, 2014 7:40pm
Santander will call you 20 times a day even if you tell them that you are not the person they are looking for. The voicemail they left was almost completely not understandable and they just wouldn't stop calling.

These people have called looking for a person who had committed federal offenses a***nst me and who had gone to prison for 6 years with 2 years probation. I explained I am the victim to this person with no other relation what-so-ever. I have a permanent restraining order a***nst him and any other third party contact no matter the reason. Even so they contacted me a***n and a***n I asked my number be removed. I also went on to explain if I receive another call from them or anyone in their company and /or ****ociates, that I will be filing charges a***nst them for willingly harassing me for this criminal....we'll see if they do it a***n. At least I recorded it this time so there is no excuse next time. The only reason I can think they would have my number is if he had listed it as a contact number on his loan application knowing I would be harassed when he did not make his payments. Other than htat there is no way my name and number would be****ociated with this person.

i s****ed getting calls from these people and now they call several times a day. i told them that i don't have a car loan and that i've had my number for over 2 years. they continue to call, suggesting that i know these people and are interfering with their collection attempts. moreover, they have used some cross referencing database to find my home number and are harassing me on my home phone dispite that my phones have completely different area codes. i rarely answer either of my phones anymore. when i called back to have my number removed from their lists, some houchie s****ed yelling at me and told me that i had to listen to her whole script before she would remove my number. i just ***g up. it's time to envoke the federal debt collections practice act.

Santander is a rip off bank. I hav 8 pymts left on my loan which comes to about 3k these thieves are trying to take on an extra 4k to the loan. These idiots had given me 4 diffrent stories about why they are billing me extra 4k. First i told the extra money from the intrest came from my forebearance and then i was told that the extra money was coming from when the pymts are not paid on time. Then i was told that the intrest which was included in the loan was not include. They are rip off company. Who ever have them a lender i would suggest to get rid of them. The are very rude people.

They've been calling for weeks now. I never answer because they always call when I'm in class, but they always leave the same message, that they want me to call back and they appreciate my swift action. I've never called back. Sounds like they're pretty presistant, is there a way to stop these annoying calls? I have no car loans and have never even heard of Sontag Air Consumer USA before. Thanks.
(888) 222-4227 - February 6th, 2011 10:20pm
These people call 4-8 times a day 7 days a week. I send my car payment every month on the second of the month and is there before the due date of the 10th every month. I am less than 15 days behind on a half a payment and send them 10.00 over the payment every month and they will not work with me. They are nasty, inconsiderate people that do not care.
(888) 222-4227 - January 7th, 2011 1:59pm
I don't even have an auto loan with ANYBODY! I can't get them to stop calling me! Over a 3 week time period, I have 32 calls from them. I have called back 6 times to try and get my # removed from their system and still they keep calling! To top it off - it is my cell phone these IDIOTS are calling!

We just moved into a new apt. in November and were given a new phone number. No one has the number but somehow these people have it and call non-stop. We've spoken to a live person several times and have asked them to stop calling and they don't. This is harassment.
(888) 222-4227 - July 29th, 2011 4:29pm
Santander Consumer USA. They bought alot of companies car loan contracts and they call to collect their money. If you have a auto loan, chances are they own the paper work on it. They are relentless when it comes to calling. They will not stop either.
