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!

Asked who was calling and he gave me his first name. I said that was not enough and he got nasty.

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.
(888) 222-4227 - February 22nd, 2014 12:51am
Santander will rip you off. Don't finance with them.
(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 - February 10th, 2014 8:18pm
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.

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.
(888) 222-4227 - July 5th, 2013 5:13pm

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.
