Drive Financial Loan From Bob Lewis - San Jose Dealership Harassing at all hours and days of the week Dallas Texas
This company has absolutely no morals and I am sure they are within the violation of several laws. THey call me before 8am and after 8pm everyday of every week, several calls and hour when I am at work and even after I've gone to bed. THey hit new lows when they began to call always within a few minutes of 8am, is this illegal or what? They now have started to call all day Sunday as well..... I thought there were laws about this kind of thing.
NO MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PAY THEM THEY KEEP CALLING. They trumped up about $300 in late and other fees on me... but when I ask them to break down what these fees are about they won't give me details. They call from various numbers, or block their number so you won't know it's them. And as others have shared even if you have paid them they continue to call. They'll call folks on my contact list and told them horrible things, and the bottom line is that they'll stop at nothing.
BOB LEWIS - SAN JOSE is the dealer that's in cahouts with them... don't give them your business they are just as corrupt

I was in the Automotive Business for over ten years as a Finance Director, Sales Manager and General Sales Manager. I pretty much have seen it all, that is why I got out of the business. When the economy slows down, dealers do more "creative" methods to get deals bought due to tighter lending by the banks. Unfortunetly I am very familar with Drive Financial and the Bob Lewis Organization (no longer owned by Bob Lewis, now Del Grande). They indeed are a very corrupt group of individuals for the most part (although there are of course a few good apples.) Thats probably why they had to sell the dealership, due to the fact that they were out of trust with their own Captive Lender. This ment that a representative from the bank had to stay there every day, so when they sold a vehicle. They immedately had to provide a check to the Flooring Company (the dealer doesn't own the vehicles, except in certain circumstances, they usually are allowed 10 days to pay off the vehicle once the deal is funded by the customer's bank.) When a dealer is about to close it doors (and file Bankruptcy as they did) the flooring company is obviously scared that they won't get paid so that is why they did what they did. There is quite a bit more about this organization that I could go on for days about. In regards to your predictament, unfortunetly I can tell by the lender that you probably have very poor credit (no offense). Drive Financial (soon to be called Bank of Santander), is basically the bottom of the barrell in terms of lenders. No one wants to send them deals unless all options are gone. Two reasons, the funding is horrible (it takes forever to get your money), and their bank fees are ridiculous. Probably the highest in the industry, so the dealer profit is diminished by sending them a deal. I actually assist people who are in situations that you are in, and try to remedy it. I will not promise that your situation will be one of those that qualifies to being the process, but it sure doesn't hurt. I know the in and outs of the business and know what is needed to scare the lenders and dealers. If you would like to further this please email me at (((ROR redacted))). I will defiently look into your situation and see if there is a way to get you out of that vehicle. I am not an attorney but do have four on retainer. Best Wishes...
