June 2000, i purchased a 1999 ford explorer from a mom and pops dealer, my payments were a little high due to my not so perfect credit, in any case everything was going good , in 2003 I changed employment and had requested Centrix to honor a due date change. I spoke with a gentleman named patrick who sent me the forms in the mail. I faxed the forms back to him as requested and kept the confirmation note , so i would be assured that they received it, initially my due date was the 2nd of everymonth but because of my new job and my new pay date i had requested a change for the 26, FINE! they agreed to it and sent me the paperwork.
Today is September 27, 2007, My Loan matured with Flat iron Formerly Centrix in June 2007,I called to make my last payment and to my surprise i am owing them $7000 dollars, I nearly lost my breath I was like WHAT THE ****!! I went over my payment history ,grant it i have been late a few times im only as human as the next Joe. I spoke to a representative and they advised me that my due date had never been approved form the 2nd to the 26th of each month , therefore i accrued interest and late fees for 4 years, my car is only worth 2 or 3 grand tops if that, i owe them $7000. So i came across this site and read one of the complaints from LAWRENCE in Tennessee. (IF YOUR READING THIS CONTACT ME PLEASE IM ON THE SAME BOAT AS YOU), ok ok I get a call from a so called guy named Brian, who is the rudest and very disrespectful person i have ever spoken to. He basically tells me that that im full of sh*t and that it doesnt matter what i had requested form centrix, meaning my due date change, its my fault period and that i have two days to make the payment of $7000. this was June 12,2007, i told him that i couldnt , its not fair and it can all be sorted out if we sit down and look at the timelines, nope hes not having it, blah blah blah, I had just moved form California to San Antonio Texas in June so i was calling to make the payment plus inform them of my new address he snapped and asked me if i had asked them permission to move the car from california to texas, I was like Excuse me, your joking right! he immidiately responded thats just perfect, just great, and stated once again you have two days to come up with $7000, do what you have to ... borrow steal or rob someone, it didnt matter but i had two days. I told him to pick up his truck its sitting in front of my house and today is Septemeber 27, 2007 3:00 pm and the care is still in front of my house in Texas... Can anyone give me some advise as to what i can do, I would realyl appreciate it, iwould like to rid of this car and purchase a new one but this is holding me back..
THank you for your time, and unforntunately we all had to meet this way by going through some BS with some unloyal and lying finance companies, i wish you al lthe best..
