Yes, it was well put together and very simple to complete. I wish all of them was like that and not make it so hard for other people. Thank you.

Most predatory, useless company in existence. Their systems are designed to screw you over. Make a payment in good faith? Oh whoops nope the actual payment due was another amount, now you owe us hundreds in late fees! Our system screwed up and you think we should make it right? Ha ha ha ha nope would you like to make a payment? If this is the only company that will fund your loan, just don't get the car.

I’ve had an extremely frustrating experience trying to resolve an issue with my vehicle. I’ve had to call around 20 times over the past month, and each time I receive different or incorrect information. Often, I only discover the information was wrong when I go to the RMV and they have no idea what I’m talking about. On several occasions (at least six times), the call has been disconnected and no one calls back. It feels like the representatives either don’t know how to handle the issue or are not properly trained to provide accurate guidance. Because this problem still hasn’t been resolved after a month, I have been unable to use my car and have had to rent one in the meantime. It’s incredibly frustrating not knowing how much longer this will take, especially when the support team seems just as unsure about the process as I am. I really hope they train the costumer service and communication so other customers don’t have to go through the same experience.

I'm trying to set up my account and the site takes me through a loop and does not let me log in. I set up autopay but since the account changed hands I do not know if it is set up.

As I write this review I've been on the phone with customer service for 20 minutes and counting customer service rep x5199 refused to take my payment for my auto loan. After asking for a manager I was told there wasn't one. So I'm called back but waiting on the phone for the last 20 minutes with no response or help. Been with back almost four months. I'm hoping that my entire loan experience isn't like this. If this how they treat there customers I will be looking at getting my vehicle refinance and leaving the bank quick as I can. Update, after an hour and a half I still was unable to get everything that I needed taken care of. After being told they couldn't take my payment. I will be looking at doing a refinance with another company to get away for this bank.

I had a terrible time(@30 minutes) before being able to talk to a person. I had tried to use on-line banking and it changed to Dovenmuhle rather than SANTANDER. I downloaded Santander app and it wasn’t functioning. I felt like I was being scammed.
