NO, do not bother reading the FDCPA which is the Fair Dept Collection Practices Act, as it only applies to 3RD PARTY DEBT COLLECTORS. In other words, if you had a contract with Country or anyone for that matter, they have the right to enforce the collection of their assets (yes, they may use vulgar language, threats, numerous phone calls) because they are the 1st party. This act only applies to the practices of companies or people that have been retained by the 1st party, so in that... Don't waste your time. If your credit is not so good and you have one of those high interest loans, than consider making the payments ON TIME for 6 MONTHS, then re-finance thru a bank or credit union. The best advice anyone gave me was a lady at a bank. I was about 23 years old, trying to get a loan thru a bank and instead of laughing at me and telling me there was no way in He** I would qualify, she simply said, "Take 2 years and work on your credit, and then come back and show me" Dangit, I hated paying all of those A-hole collectors, but bit by bit I picked away at it, and 2 years later I did go back to that lady with a 700 credit score... She had no idea what I was talking about.

I have also been harrased by this company and think that all the victims of the company should file a class action suit.

Post or Base JAG office. Take all your documentation with you and ask them what legal recourse you might have. It may be too late now to envoke, but the Servicemember's Civil Relief Act might give you a course of action. You need compentent legal advice from someone familiar with this Act. I would start at your installation JAG office. Good luck.

UPU, heres some advice for you, i am currently in this same situation with these crooks, but it took a lot of detective work on my part to even find them, they opperate under a ficticious business name "COUNTY FINANCIAL SERVICES" there registered business license name is "AUTOMOTIVE FUNDING GROUP" It is registered and owned by a man named MITCH LEYTON , there new C.E.O. is MICHAEL MCROBERTS and they are located at 5255 e. HUNTER AVE. ANAHEIM, CA. we actually had to go down there (a 300 mile drive for us) and track them down. I personally stopped paying them after they took our car, and told us they werent, they were unwilling to work with us and i was terribly harassed to the point of tears.all they wanted was more and more money. Do not trust them and my advice would be to save all the letters they send you and write the date you get them. the next step you should take is seeking legal advice, your not alone and if enough of us start this process we can stop them! also contact your district attorney, the more complaints the better this will catch up to them!! most of all PROTECT YOURSELF! P.S. You should read through the FAIR DEBT COLLECTION ACT it may pertain to you. feel free to ask any other questions, i am in the middle of a lawsuit with them! STAY SAFE AND GOOD LUCK , jennifer, selma, california
