Harley-Davidson Credit Harley Davidson Credit Harassment Internet
I bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle through Harley Davidson financial services. My payment is $465 a month and I have had the bike a little over a year. I pay my bill every month but there are times I pay late. I pay my bill online and was not aware that there were two late payments that I did not pay. Harley financial looked up my neighbors in the white pages and contacted two that I know of and asked them to tell me to call them because I would not answer the phone. They called them several times until they finally answered the phone. My neighbors contacted me because they wanted me to know that were being harassed by MY creditor. I contacted Harley to find out that they were hunting me down for late fees that totaled $80. Is this legal for them to contact my neighbors and harass them to contact me??

What law?

If you have time, you can file a lawsuit against them. Shouldn't be hard to prove they broke the law.
And what law did they break? Please don't say the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) because that law doesn't apply in this case- the calling party is the CREDITOR.
If there is a State statute that they violated, that would certainly be helpful, and perhaps, you should post a cite from the law to help the author.

It's illegal for them to do it

Hey,
It's definitely illegal for them to do that. I'm not surprised that HD financial services are doing something like that, they aren't ethical and don't follow legal guidelines. The problem is that it's not so easy to fight them. Unless you're proficient with the system or have access to a lawyer, not much you can do.

Good luck!
