Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
After buying a 2003 Dodge Neon on August 1st, 2003 we received a call from Budget. On the 9th of August, they asked us to come in saying that "some papers need your signature".

When we arrived, they said we needed to put down an additional 1,000.00 to get approved for our car. Since we didn't have the money, we asked them to take the car back.

After leaving the office for a few minutes, the loan officer returned & said that Budget would help us with the 1,000.00.

All we had to do was write them a check for 1,000 to show good faith, but that it would not be cashed. Budget promised that if it was, they would give us 1,000.00 to cover it.

Budget attempted to cash the check on September 15th, but it was returned NSF. After contacting the General Manager, we were promised that it was a mistake & wouldn't happen again. He asked us to contact the loan officer, "who will make it right". The loan officer avoided our calls & then redeposited the check on the 27th of September. This time it cleared....I contacted Budget who is refusing to reimburse us the 1,000.00, instead saying that they must deduct our first car payment from it, so that the loan may be funded.

That is a lie !! I contacted Bank One, who approved the loan & was told that it isn't their practice to require a payment before funding a loan.

Budget cannot be trusted !!! Avoid at all Costs !!

Well I read this story & i have to say it is close to my heart for recent experiences. I have just started looking into this great website a week to late. I had a very similiar dealing with Budget. I am not sure if mine was worse or better. I bought a brand new 2003 kia rio. It was a bad week car broke motorcycle broke water heater broke. You know how the bads come in groups of three. I have bad credit through stupidity of my own ie the ex girlfriend. I told the sales man i didn't have much to put down but i would be flexible on the car or truck auto or stick used or new. I was looking to put down $500. We agreed to a deal i was to put down $1000 which was stretching it more like stretching my credit cards & they said i needed to get a service plan so the loan would go through. I wasn't too sure about that but i was like well atleast i know the car will be safe so why not. A beggar can not be a choicer. I gave then the down payment took my new car & they said i would be back in the office in a few days to sign the final papers. I get a call 4 days later saying great news!!!! My loan is done. They said it was readjusted going to be a lot less & a year less on the loan. I might have to put down some more money. I went into to hear the new deal they took the service contract off took a year off the payments but asked me to put down $1000 more??? When might becomes $1000 then i definetly want to work for a boss that might pay me every week. Ofcourse, i gave them a check for a settled amount $500 they gave me three weeks to get that money. They got me a loan at 27% my roomate only pays 21% & he has a bankruptcy. My credit score is a putrid 576 but that should be better than a bankruptcy or maybe that is the way i should go. There were more things they told me but not to waste anymore time what i learned that i will do from now on is reversi. I will make them sign a white peice of paper like they have you sign saying if i put $___________ down then i can pay $________ per month. Then we can take it to court or they can make that deal. If there are any comments please post them below
