Complaint Review: Bell Ford - Mebane North Carolina

Feb 23, 2007

Went To Bell Ford To Look For A Newer Mini Van.Talked

To A Sales Man By The Name Of Ovid Trimble.

Feb 26

Got A Call From Mr Trimble Saying He Was Still Working On Getting Me In A Newer Mini Van And Asked Me If I Would Change My Mind About The 2003 Windstar And If I Would He Would Put Me In A 2007 Freestar.

March 1

Mr Trimble Called Me Back And Asked Me To Come

Down To The Dealship For A Few Mins. After Getting Down There Mr Trimble Said He Could Not Get It Worked Out For

The 2007 But Got The Deal Worked Out For The 2003 And They Was Cleaning It And Getting It Ready For Me. He Said It Would Take About A Hour Or Two Before They Was

Ready To Deal.So I Went Home And Waited. Then Mr Trimble Called Back And Said To Come On Down And Sign The Paperwork.

March 2

Went Back Down To The Dealship To Get

The Keyless Door Code And To Turn In The

The Paper Work From The Ins Company To

Show There Was Ins On The 2003 Windstar

March 5th Went Back To The Dealership To

Get The Keyless Door Code And Remote.

March 8 Went Back Down To The Dealship

To Ask A Question About The Van.

March 9 Went And Had The Van Fitted For

A Wheelchair Lift And Etc.

March 12 Got A Call From Mr Trimble And

He Asked Me If I Could Come Down To The

Dealship.Went Down To The Dealship And He

Told Me Something Was Done Wrong When

The Sales Loan Person Sent In The Loan Agree-

Ment And Now I Need To Put Money Down On

The Van In Order To Keep It .I Told Mr Trimble

That I Couldn't Put No Money Down At This

Point In Time Because I Just Put All The Money

I Had Into Getting The Van Fitted For A Wheelchair

Lift And If They Would've Told Me This When

I Got The Van I Could've Put Something Down On

The Van.He Then Told Me To Just Go Home And See

What They Could Work Out .

March 13 Mr Trimble Called Me Back And Said They

Was Still Working On It But It Was Looking Like They

Was Going To Have To Take The Van Away From

Me If I Didn't Put Something Down On The Van.

So I Went Down To The Dealship And Told Them

That I Didn't Want To Keep Dealing With This If They

Had Any Plans On Taking The Van .Mr Trimble Told

Me Just To Leave And The Only Thing That Could Happen

Is I Would Get My Old Van Back.I Told Mr Trimble At That

Time That I Had Over $5000 Tied Up In The 2003 And That

I Had No Way Of Getting My Money Back For It.

He Then Told Me Just To Go Home.

March 14

Mr Trimble Called Back And Told Me That The Dealship

Was Going To Work Something Out With Me And For Me To Just Wait On Them To Get It Worked Out I Asked Him

What Was Going On And He Told Me That The First

Contract I Had Was All Wrong And That It Was No Good

And That They Was Working On A New Contract And In

Order For Me To Keep The Van They Had To Have Me

Do The New Paper Work Or They Was Going To Take The

Van.

March 15 , 2007

Got A Call From Bell Ford In Mebane NC

They Asked Me To Come Down To Dealership

Cause They Had A New Deal Agreement Worked

Out For Me.So I Went Down To The Dealship

After Getting There I Had To Wait About 15 mins

For Them To Type Up The Paper Work After The

Paperwork Was Typed Up For The New Deal The

Loan Person Told Me That The Main Reason The

Old Paper That I Got On March The 1 Wasn't Any

Good Was Because The Guy That Done The Paper

Was Not Able To Sign It.Then He Went On To Telling

Me The Other Reason Was Because When They Sent

Off To Ford Motor Credit ,They For Got To Take Off

The $5000 Dollar Rebate From The First Van They

Tried To Get Me In .He Said What Happened Was

They Added The $5000 Rebate To 2003 Windstar

And That Was The Only Reason Ford Motor Credit

Let Me Have The Loan In The First Place..Then I

Showed Them The Paper Work I Got On March 1st

And Asked Them To Show Me Where The $5000

Was Put On The 2003 Windstar.After Listen To

A Lot Of BS The Loan Person Said To Make Things

Right By Me They Worked It Out To Let Me Have

The 2003 Windstar For A Less Amount Of Payments

Then What Was Stated On The First Contract .

After Reading Over The New Contract And Saw It

Was A Better Deal I Told Them I Needed To Call My

Lawyer First Before I Signed Anything. Then After

Talking To My Lawyer I Handed The Phone To The

Loan Person He Told Her What Was Going On And Then

I Hung The Phone Up.And Started To Fill Out Paper Work

After Signing A Few Of The Papers For The New Paper

Work The Loan Person Told Me To Hold On A Min And He

Went To The Owner Of The Dealship And Told Him That

Before I Would Sign Anything That He Had To Talk To

His Lawyer .Then The Owner Told Me To Get The *&*

Off His Property And To Leave The *&*&ing Van There And

To Take My Piece Of *&*& Van With Me Or He Was Going To Have Me Locked Up. And He Said As Far As My *&*&ing Lawyer Goes And You Go Ya'll Both Can Kiss My *&*&. And Theres Nothing You Can Do Or your 2 Bit Lawyer Can Do Cause He Has Lawyers That Eats Lawyers Like Yours For Dinner And That It Didn't Matter How Much Money I Had Or Who The Hell I Think I Got For A Lawyer There Was Nothing Anyone Could Do To Him But Kiss His *&*&..

So I Went Out In The Middle Of The Rd To Wait For The Law To Get There.While I Was Out In The Middle

Of The Rd One Of The Dealers Tried To Talk Me Into Getting Into The 2003 Windstar And He Would Drive Me Around Back To Get My Old Van That I Used For A Trade In.But Because Of What The Owner Of Bell Ford Said I Stayed Out In The Middle Of The Rd And Would Not Get In The Van..Then After 15mins Or So Of Being Out In The Middle Of The Rd I Started To Walk Home .The Owner Then Called The Law On Me For Stealing The Keys To The Windstar. The Law Came To My House And Placed Me In Handcuffs Until After They Read The Paper Work I Got From Bell Ford On March The 1st. Then The Law Offered To Talk Me Back Down To The Car Lot To Pic Up The 2003 Windstar That I Had The Contrack For.

After Getting Down To The Dealship The Owner Showed The Cops A Legal Document that said they had the right

to take the van back if anything was wrong with the loan or said paper work But The Top Half Of The Paper Was Not Filled Out

So To Me Its Not Legal But The Dealership Still Kept The Van The Cop Then Made The Owner Of The Dealship Print Him A Copy Of The Document So I Would Have It For My Own Use. Then Then the Cop Took My Wife Around Back To Get The Van We Used As A Trade In ,Back And Then The Owner Told My Wife That It Was My Own Stupid Fault For Losing The Van .And That If The Dumb *&* Would've Not Tried To

Get A Lawyer Into This He Would Still Have The Van...
