I had recently made settlement arrangements with the recovery department of Santander for a car loan that defaulted last year. I had fallen onto a period of financial hardship due to unemployment and was unable to make my payments. While the settlement agreement was resolved amicably, they have not yet sent me receipt of payment and more importantly, they have not issued the title to the vehicle. This puts me in a very unfortunate position as I am trying to register the vehicle in my state and they are preventing from doing so without the original document. Without registration, I am unable to acquire insurance and thus legally maintain the vehicle. I have made several attempts to contact the company to resolve this issue and keep finding that the date they will issue the title gets pushed further back. My last communication, a representative from the office of the president, curtly responded that " I went this long without making a payment, than I can wait this long without the title ''. I am trying to do the right thing, by paying off the debt, and abide by my local laws. I feel that this company making efforts to reprimand my delinquency but consequently preventing me from accomplishing this goal.
