Ameristar Financial Services Are Rip-Off Artist They Put The Car On My Credit Report! Libertyville Illinois
Ameristar put my 1994 chevy corrsica on my credit report. They did that because I questioned the amount I owed.
I bought my car in Illions at a dealership called JD Byrider. After I moved to Califorina I was still making payments the company refused to send me any more printed recipets. So after three months of payments my mother suggested that I should call the corporate office.
So I did, and was told that the person who I needed to talk to was'nt in and they would have him call me. But to no avail. I never had anyone return my calls. I only had three months till the car would be payed off. I stopped payments. As soon as I did that then my phone strated ringing off the hook! The person whom I was dealing with at JD Byrider who's name was Ruben Ortiz told me that they would send me updated payment receipts. I never got them. And this Ameristar company I had never heard of them before, because when I got the car the finance company I was dealing with were called Greenwich Finance.
So after having no help with trying to get my problem resolved, I just gave up. Then in 2003 I sent off for my credit report and there it was Ameristar Financial Services on my report. I was really p off . And to insult to injury there was a $7708 dollars and $3638 dollars written off what does that mean? I just don't understand any of this. The original price of the car was over the blue book amount any way. And I feel that I paid off the car if they are saying I owe $7708 dollars I have receipts that will show that amount or more. I tried to talk to Ameristar but as of yet no one has called me. Maybe that's good because reading what I've read so far scares me.
I need some help in finding out how I can get some resolution to this problem. Because my car has been parked and not driven since this whole thing began! How can these people get away with this crap!! If anyone has any suggestions they would be greatly appericiated! I can't stand these arrogant snobs.
I just want to be able to keep my car and move on. I'm a single mom trying to take care of myself and my child. I'm disabled and unable to work now when I was working before. This is a big setback for me even if I wanted another car noones going to do it now. And the problems I'm having now would take for ever for me to explain in this type of forum. I just hope these people get whats coming to them because they've messed up a lot of peoples lives and their livelyhood!

Do not talk, send a cease communication letter to them

Yes, do not talk to them, start a paper trail, put everything in writing. Only correspond with them in writing. Then find a consumer fraud attorney, search for the least expensive one in your area. My attorney is now "handling" Ameristar. Another good thing to do, print out everything from this website regarding this "company" and give to your attorney, this is evidence against them. Showing a pattern of ripping off consumers. Look at the previous postings, file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, Illinois Attorney General and your local Attorney General. These agencies need to receive as many complaints as necessary against this company, so they will have proof to investigate and loads of legitimate and similar complaints against them. Just know one letter speaks for hundreds and thousands of consumers who have been victimized. Also, once filing the complaints send copies of all correspondences sent or received to/from Ameristar. Make sure to send a cease communication letter to Ameristar, with copies to the above-mentioned agencies. Then save all messages from them after sending the cease letters. Document the names of who called and the time and dates. Most importantly don't be afraid of them. You cannot let them win and they can be defeated!

Bell, The first thing you ned to learn to do is to STAY OFF THE PHONE!! Always do everything in writing, and by cerified mail, return reciept requested. Ameristar are junk debt buyers. They are scammers, liars and thieves. Tru lowlife. Richard Wonderlic is the owner. I have posted all the dirt on them here on ROR. They have a history of this sort of thing. They buy a contract with only a few payments left and extend it for 6-12 months, plus fees. It sounds like you are partially at fault here for not sticking to your contract. It is irrelevant if they were not sending you statements. That is not a reason to stop paying. After all, you knew you only had 3 payments left, right? It sounds like you were already in default or had a history of late payments. That is why it went to collections or was sold in the first place. This is why it went on your credit report.
