I called this company 2 weeks ago due to a hold I had on my student account when I went to register for classes. I spoke with a girl who then placed me on hold to speak to her supervisor about a settlement amount. She came back on and told me theyd take 50% to settle out the account and that Id have 2 weeks to pay it. I called back roughly 5 days later and paid it. I was told Id receive an email from her supervisor within 48 hours with my settlement letter. This was a Friday morning, so once Tuesday morning came around I called to follow up since I hadnt gotten an email. I was given the runaround and told different things by different people, finally speaking with the supervisor near closing time. He informed me he was trying to get a hold of me (which I have no voicemails from and Ive been getting plenty of voicemails from others) to tell me that they actually cant take 50% because that creditor doesnt allow it. I asked to speak with his supervisor who also claimed the same. While I understand their obligations to the creditors, what I can not understand is their inability to accept fault for an employees mistake and pay the remaining 50% to the creditor along with what I had paid. This is not only horrible business practice, but screams misdirection.Business Response

This company call me from different numbers harassing me about a payment that santander bank should of disputed for me. I will give you some backstory to this: January 2022 someone got access to my account and I filed a dispute. ********* did not look into it and do the proper research and continued to charge me $35 on top of the fraudulent activity that happened to my account. A total of almost $700 with fees. With that being said I had to take my money from that bank and go to another bank. I was very disappointed with santander bank customer service/fraud department ........ very disappointed. I truly believe a higher authority should look at how santander bank operates because i would not recommend this bank to no one. This santander bank owes me a refund from all the charge of $35 that accumulated or they should have all the charges cleared from this account.Business Response

This business continues to call my place of work and harass me. They ask for me by name and will not tell my why they are calling, they are only telling me "it is in connection with **********************". They ask me repeatedly to verify my date of birth which I am hesitant to do, but when I finally comply they still will not give me any information about the call and try to tell me that the birthdate is incorrect and I should stop lying.I believe they are attempting collection activity on a different person with my same name and despite telling them to stop calling **************** to speak with me (now 5 calls in the past two months), they continue to call and harass me, even though I am not the person they are seeking. This is ridiculous. I have instructed each person I speak with to not call back.Business Response

************** sent me to this collection agency to collect on a transaction that I disputed. I had a transaction come through to my account for $135k which I had no idea who this company was I disputed it and asked ************** to tell me who this company was and how did they get access to my account. Then Santander escalated to their fraud team to investigate this company months went by and I never heard anything from Santanders fraud team. When I called the bank and complained that they were not communicating they told me they were short staffed and doing their best to resolve. A couple months later they removed all charges . I closed my account with Santander months after this because I did not trust this bank and I did not get a good feeling that they did their best to protect my account from being exposed to fraud, immediately after I closed my account Santander sent me a letter showing I owed them 75k for a transaction I disputed . I called them immediately to find out how I owed this money ..according to Santander they reversed the dispute whenI closed my account and only held me accountable for $75k instead of &135k I asked them how I never had 135k or $75k in my bank account ever..,,they kept giving me the run around and now they sent this to an agency. Something is wrong with this bank they are using peoples bank accounts and doing something illegal they need to be investigated and so does this agency I do not owe anyone money and I never authorized and charges to my account for that amount and I do not know who this company is or how they got access to my bank accountBusiness Response
