Oakwood Homes, Vanderbilt Mortgage Ripoff Sold us a home that is falling apart after 5 years and they are liars Greensboro North Carolina
In 1999, we purchased a home from what was then called Oakwood Homes. Now, a little over 5 years later, we've replaced several sections of flooring. We've had wiring problems. And now we've found out that our air conditioning/heating duct work is ROTTING. There are cracks all along the duct work. So THAT's where our mosquitos are coming from every summer!
It's a miracle our house didn't burn to the ground. A couple of years ago the electricity in one room went off. We fixed it ourselves. When we took the covers off of the outlets, we found a wire that was burned, and we also discovered that there were NO plastic/metal boxes behind the outlets to protect against fire starting!
When we first moved into the house, the heater didn't work because it was wired wrong. The lights/outlets in one end of the home didn't work. After a month we finally got someone from Oakwood to come look at it. There was a breaker missing!! How does that happen?
I won't even start to describe the endless harrasment we endure every month. We are sometimes late with our payments. But they rarely, if ever, run over into the next month. But if the payment is even a week late, we receive phone calls asking us when we are moving, because they are going to come repossess the thing! A few months ago, a representative of Vanderbilt even told us that we should put our disabled 4 year old daughter in a "home" so that I could go back to work and help my husband pay the bills! She said, "You know, there are places for people like that."
As for repossession, my brother in law had a home repossessed by Oakwood. They finally came and got it almost a year after he moved out.
And did I mention that my daughter's disability may have been caused by the horrible chemicals that were in our home? We have no proof of this of course, but we moved into our home around September 1, 1999. (Several months after we purchased it, because it took over 2 months for it to be delivered!) I became pregnant around that time. I had numerous complications during the pregnancy, including premature delivery at 27 weeks. She weighed 2 lbs. 5 oz. and because of that had a hemorrhage in her brain.
We have now paid $18,000 for a home that was supposed to cost aroudn $24,000. We still owe $25,000.
Everyone who ever worked for Oakwood will get their reward someday!
