Apparently a whole lot! I guess that should be the deterrent to us "BAD" credit having people huh? But tell me this, because someone is over a barrel does that make it "okay" to charge them excessively for a faulty product? What are you really suggesting? Is this a method of consumer punishment? should your bank be able to do the same. If you bounce a check or have a negative balance, should they charge you extra next month so it won't happen again? People always seem to be able to go along with policies or rules that they feel will never apply to them, so what do you care right? you probably just say to yourself how dare they complain? You oughta be thankful someone is willing to finance you period! never mind the messy ugly details. But what if it were you? or a loved one, then what? Why is it do people who work for these companies seem to take complaints about them so personally? IM sure there is someone in East Cup Cake that had a wonderful experience with this dealership. IM sure you could dig through all the dissatisfied customers and find some happy ones. That is not the point. It seems to me that people such as your self are rarely if ever able to be objective. Okay so someone has "BAD" credit. In this country what does that really mean anymore? Who doesn't? Let me ask you this if you are so responsible and never make any mistakes, why on earth would someone choose to work for what I consider loan sharks/preditors. You seem like you wanna "shoot from the hip" and be real. So let's be real. Do you HONESTLY believe that JD BYRIDER is out to (just) give poor folks with bad credit a "second chance" ? cummon.. We all understand these people are here to make a profit, that's fine. The sleaziness comes in when you intentionally cater to people who are desperate for financing and you use their misfortune or irresponsibility (however you judgmental perfect credit score having people choose to see it) to see it to make a profit off of. Since we are being honest how many stories about JD Byrider crappie cars that literally barely make it off the lot before they brake down must you hear before you will acknowledge the obvious? I personally with my bad credit having self financed a a car with them and broke down not even a bloke from the dealership! They refused to take that hunk of junk back and I don't blame em. We all realize and understand that when you buy any car you are subject to problems and that especially applies to used cars, However, JD, takes the cake. Not only do they sell you a lemon but they charge you as many as 4-5 times what it is worth and pretend that somehow they are helping you? They are helping themselves is what they are doing. They will sell a car that is barely drivable and worth $1,500 blue book and finance you for $4,000 now that's a profit! Especially when you consider this person who bought it is paying for tows, repairs and not even able to use never mind rely on the car they needed so desperately. So how exactly are you helping someone with bad credit I ask? you financed them for a car that is new, you gave them a lemon. They have no car but they are paying for it anyway. If they do what I did they are in an even worse situation than when they walked in the door. I had enough. I had my tire almost come off on the highway because of rotten bolts. I had my brakes go on the highway. I had the transmission go, on a car worth $500.00 at best. Should I have paid for a rebuilt or new Transmission? where would I have gotten the money for that? No car to go to work to even pay for it with. I chose to cut my loses and tell them to kiss my ---! I seriously doubt that even the people on their soap boxes at JD Byrider really believe what they spew and if so they are delusional at best. I doubt also that most of them are "good" credit worthy. Last time I checked the whole country for the most part was in the hole so who is anyone to judge? When you work with the public and you are privy to peoples business it's easy to look down your nose at them and decide how or what they must have done wrong. I would suggest that most of us are but a paycheck from being behind on something and if you are not consider yourself blessed or just savvy.

I just finished reading your complaints about J.D Byrider. You sound to me to be a resonably inteligent person, however, you left out more about your complaint than you may realize. First of all you forgot to mention that J. D Byrider provides a service and program ONLY to those who have BAD credit. You forgot to mention how you got to be such a credit bandit. You forgot to mention that this finance company loaned YOU money when no one else would !!You did mention that J.D.Byrider allowed you to choose from 3 other cars when you complained about no A.C !! How many other dealerships would do that ? ! ? And, you forgot to mention that when you bought the car, YOU signed a warranty statement that specifically stated that the A.C. was not covered by the warranty. Sounds like you left a lot out of your " complaint "...you sure your not just angry at .........YOU ?????? You have been given an opportunity to repair your credit and once again YOU are failing. Directing your complaints towards yourself might be a better way to expell the unhappiness you are living.
