The Original Ripoff Report Text:

I BOUGHT A CAR AT CHANEYS USED CARS AND PUT 2000.00 DOWN WITH PAYMENTS DUE EVERY OtHER WEEK OF 200.00. A FEW WEEKS AFTER MY PURCHASE A FELLOW CO-WORKER WANTED TO BUY A CAR AND I RECOMMENDED CHANEY'S. SHE BOUGHT A CAR AND CHANEYS TOLD ME IF I SIGNED FOR BRINGING HER IN, I WOULD GET A CREDIT. I SIGNED. THE GIRL DID NOT MAKE HER PAYMENTS AND WHEN I TRIED TO MAKE MY PAYMENTS AFTER THAT, I WAS REFUSED TO BE ABLE TO MAKE THEM. I ASKED OF COURSE AND NO ONE WOULD TELL ME WHY THEY WERE REFUSING MY PAYMENTS.

I THEN ASKED A COUPLE OF PEOPLE TO TRY AND MAKE THEM FOR ME. AFTER BEING ON THE PHONE FOR 10-15 MINUTES ON HOLD, THEY WERE TOLD THAT THEY COULD NOT TAKE THE PAYMENT. I THEN FOUND OUT FROM CHANEYS BROTHER ROYCE, WHO ALSO WORKS THERE, THAT SINCE THE GIRL DID NOT MAKE HER PAYMENTS I HAD TO HELP THEM LOCATE THE GIRL SO THEY COULD GET THEiR CAR BACK. ROYCE CHANEY ASSURED ME THAT ONCE THEY LOCATED THE CAR THAT THEY WOULD ACCEPT MY PAYMENTS. I BEGAN ASSISTING MR. CHANEY IN LOCATING THIS GIRL. WITHOUT ANY WARNING, AND WITH THE PROMISE THEY WOULD NOT REPO MY CAR-THEY DID.

ROYCE CHANEY ASSURED ME AS SOON AS WE FOUND THE OTHER GIRLS CAR THEY WOULD RETURN MY CAR. I WENT UP TO CHANEYS 2 DAYS AFTER MY CAR WAS REPOED AND THEY HAD IT FOR SALE IN THE FRONT ROW. WHEN I ASKED WHAT WAS GOING ON, JOEL CHANEY SAID THAT IT WAS NOT FOR SALE AND THAT I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK AS SOON AS I HELPED THEM GET THE CAR. HE THEN TOLD ME TO GET OFF THE PROPERTY OR HE WOULD CALL THE POLICE. I DID CALL THE POLICE MYSELF AND WAS TOLD THEY GET AT THE MINIMUM OF 7 CALLS A WEEK ON CHANEY'S CROOKED DEALINGS.

I TOOK OFF WORK AND CALLED EVERYONE I KNEW AND KEPT IN CONSTANT CONTACT WITH ROYCE CHANEY AND ONE NIGHT FINALLY LOCATED THE CAR. I THEN CALLED THE TOW COMPANY THAT ROYCE CHANEY SUPPLIED ME WITH, CALLED MR. CHANEY TO LET HIM KNOW I FOUND THE CAR AND SAT UNTIL THE CAR WAS PICKED UP. MR. CHANEY THEN SAID I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK BUT THAT JOEL CHANEY WAS GOING ON VACATION FOR 2 WEEKS SO I NEEDED TO GET UP THERE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING. I MADE THE 3 HOUR TRIP FROM OUT OF TOWN TO BE THERE FIRST THING IN THE MORNING TO GET MY CAR. THE GIRL I SAT DOWN WITH LOOKED UP AND TOLD ME Ii OWED 650.00 WHICH I HAD AND WAS GOING TO PAY.

THE GIRL WENT INTO SPEAK TO MR. CHANEY AND SHE CAME BACK TO SAY I HAD TO COME BACK AT 4 THAT DAY. SINCE I HAD TO GET BACK TO MY HOME AND SINCE I KNEW THEY CLOSED AT 4 ON SATURDAYS, I ASKED IF I COULD JUST PAY IT AND GET MY CAR. THE GIRL WENT TO ASK AND I WAS ASKED TO STEP OUTSIDE. MR. CHANEY THEN CAME OUT AND SCREAMED AT ME AND MY MOTHER AND STEPDAD, WE HAD TO LEAVE AND GET OFF THE LOT ANDIF I WANTED MY CAR BACK, I HAD TO PAY IT ALL OFF COMPLETELY. I AM OUT MY DOWNPAYMENT, MY PAYMENTS, THE EXPENSIVE ALARM SYSTEM MY MOTHER GAVE ME FOR A PRESENT INSTALLED IN THE CAR, AND PERSONAL ITEMS THAT WERE IN MY CAR, NOT TO MENTION THE TIME, AGGREVATION AND COSTS TO ME. ALL OF THIS AFTER I WAS TOLD SO MANY TIMES THAT I WOULD GET MY CAR BACK.

ON THE COPY THAT I SIGNED FOR THE GIRL IT SAYS NOTHING ABOUT THEM BEING ABLE TO REPO MY CAR IF SHE DID NOT PAY. IT DOES SAY THAT IF SHE DID NOT PAY, I WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE VALUE OF THE CAR. I EVEN TOLD THE CHANEYS I WOULD PAY HER PAYMENTS AFTER THEY GOT THE CAR BACK IF THEY GAVE ME THAT CAR SINCE I WAS NOT GOING TO BE RESPONSIBLE FOR IT. I ALWAYS MADE MY PAYMENTS ON TIME UNTIL THEY REFUSED TO ACCEPT A PAYMENT FROM MY AND THEY HAD TO RIGHT TO LEGALLY NOT ACCEPT MY PAYMENTS AND TAKE MY CAR.
