Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
As an active duty military member deployed overseas I contacted Mitsubishi to get the Soldiers and Sailors Relief Act to lower my interest from 14% to 6%. After contacting them in March of 2004, they did not respond till June of 2004 informing me that the account was rebooked, however I have not received any billing statements. In June me and my wife pulled my credit so that we could purchase a house while I am deployed, and found out by checking my credit that Mitsubishi was reporting late on this account since Dec of 2003, although payments have been sent to this company every month since then. I contacted the company and demanded they fix this, and after a month of calling them from overseas they fixed the problem, only to report fraudulent information again in Aug of 2004.

They also ripped me off by charging me for 6 monthly deferments when I only requested 3 deferments. It does not stop there... They also charged $253 of charges to my account and informed my one of the several times I called them that they where late charges, yet the charges are not coded as late charges on my payment history. In June is when I did receive a billing statement and the payments made dropped from 56 made to 54 made, so infact they removed 2 months worth of payments on this account and have refused to account for this.

As of June they are reporting to the credit bureaus that there is $1250 left to pay, but with the charges they slammed me with, and the deferments I did not request, the removed payments, they infact owe me $1136 and the title on my 98 Galant. Keep in mind that they have not called me or my wife even though they have both of our numbers, refused to answer my questions on this account, and have not mailed anything to me at all to myself or my wife even though they have both of our addresses.

To whom ever reads this...arm yourselves, this company cannot be trusted and will go to extreme lengths to make purchasing a car through them an experience that is worse than any I have ever experienced.

Half Truths...

I am an active employee of MMCA who is very familiar with (SSGT) Christian's account. I will address the issues presented in the order that he presents them. First, Christian indicates that he applied for a rate reduction under the SSCRA. This is absolutely correct, however he leaves out the fact that his account was 120 days past due at the time (December 2003). He indicates that the loan was re-booked in March 2004 to the lower rate. This too is correct, but again he forgot to mention that the SSCRA is meant for Military personnel, who have experienced a "change of financial situation due to their being called to active duty" (ie a Reservist making more $$ in his cilvilian job, being activated and paid at a lower rate). Christian was active in the military at the time, and had actually received an increase in pay upon his deployement to KOREA. The delay in the rebooking was to process an exception and reduce the rate because he did not qualify for the automatic reduction afforded by the SSCRA. Second, he states that he never received a billing after the re-booking, he is correct. They went to his wife (Cassandra)in Arizona, per his written request. He states that MMCA billed him for 6 deferments, when he only requested 3. Christian requested 3-2 month deferments in writing (1 from the outsourcing company that his account was serviced by prior to the SSCRA Re-Book and 2 from MMCA itself). We have all three signed letters/faxes in his file, and they each specify that he is requesting 2 month deferments. Third, the "misc. charges" that he refers to are, in fact, late charges that he requested to be written into the re-booked loan amount, when he requested the SSCRA re-book. Although Christian says that we have failed to communicate with him, we have talked to him several times, as well as provided him the docomentation that he requested (he included those copies, that he supposedly did not receive, with his complaint with the Ariz. Atty General's Complaint). It is sad that Mr. Ritenour (sorry SSGT Rittenour) has to smear the name of the soldiers that are serving in battle, to attempt to manipulate the system. He has been safe in Arizona and KOREA, while avoiding his debts in the US. He should be ashamed of himself for manipulating a Statute meant to protect soldiers who have sacrificed to defend this country and then blame the Company that made an exception to help him get back on his feet. I believe that his Attorney General's Complaint and our response (which is probably coverred by the Freedom of Information Act) speaaks for itself. My Rittenour's attempt to defraud MMCA has truly given a black eye to the honorable members of our US MILITARY.
