I really appreciate you guys feedback. Well they were threatening to come get the car on thurs. still. So on Friday morning my mom went up to drive-tme with the rest of the payment, and they refused it, saying that we should of came yesterday like we were suppose to, so either turn the car in or they will repo it. So me and my mother which is the cosigner went up there to turn the car in before they could come repo the car from my job and incur any extra charges. They gave us a piece of paper stating that we turned the car over, which i don't understand half of what's written. and no later than 2 or 3 minutes later some guy was putting a red and white "for sale" ticket on the car and running it thru the car wash before we could even get out the parking lot. I have to admit i did have to cuss the lady out because she pissed me off so bad. I had to make her sign the release paper because she acted like she didn't want too. Actually my mother is in bankruptcy and i think they made a mistake by selling us the car in the first place. Corporate found out and probably told them "they don't care how they get the car back just ge it". i'm assuming, but anyway me and my mother are going to talk to a lawyer one day next week so we'll see how that goes. Maybe we can get a class action lawsuit, i don't know. I just know what they did wasn't right, but if you guys have anymore opinions or feedback, please don't hesitate to respond here or my personal email address [email protected]

They did the same thing to me - if you read the report I wrote. It's in there. Anyway, now that I am older and wiser :) let me tell you that they can threaten all they want (well they can't actually. What they do are violations of laws regarding collection procedures. ) and they cannot CANNOT CANNOT come repo your car b/c you are a few days late. In fact, they can't take it even if you are two weeks late. Next time they call, just hang up. Hang up and pay when you can. call me if you want. 770-380-6285

Are you sure they were not using scare tactics with you? These types of companies usualy use scare tactics because they have you by the ba!ls due to your credit rating. I seriously doubt they would have spent the money to come and repo the kind of car that you have. It would have been a total waste of thier time for a payment 4 days late. Plus, they are making tons of money from you in interest payments alone. BTW, my advice to you is to call as soon as you realize you may be short, and get it in writing. Also, the roads of Atlanta are dangerous enough...SLOW DOWN!!!!
