Jim needs to get his facts straight. The Attorney General obtained a final judgment against LOBEL Financial and their owners. LOBEL admitted to violating the Fair Debt Collections Practices Act in 2009.
LOBEL also agreed to a Class Action settlement. In March, 2010, LOBEL Financial agreed to waive $43 million in alleged deficiency balances and was instructed to delete from more than 9,000 consumer credit reports all LOBEL trade lines. Borrowers in Sacramento and Contra Costa Counties filed lawsuits against LOBEL for failing to properly notify consumers of their rights and interests after repossessing thousands of consumer vehicles.

When you finance a car, you are required to carry full coverage insurance on that car. Apparently YOU failed to do that and they bought insurance for you and were having YOU pay for it. There's no scam here. YOU failed to comply with the contract. They picked up the car, sold it at auction. However, you are still on the hook for the contracted amount. No scam here either! YOU brought this on yourself by NOT complying with the contract which you apparently never read!
