Rachelle Brown contacted us to get a vehicle via Facebook. I told her she needed $2500 down for the charger due to her credit score. She showed up claiming she only had $600 and asked if I would work with her. I decided to help her because she seemed honest and needed a good car. She offered to put up the electronics as collateral because she was short $2,000 on her down payment. I told her she needs to get insurance and asked if she already had it, she said yeah and that her dad was in insurance for 25 years and she knows all about it and how important it is. I told her she needed to get it before she left, she asks if she could get it the next day. I said you absolutely need it the next day otherwise I will take the car back. If you get in an accident, the business would be out thousands of dollars. I was willing to let her get it the next day because she claimed she currently had insurance on her other car. We even sent her a text the next day to remind her. She gave me insurance that was lapse for over a month. Going through her app and her other vehicle, everything she had stated was a lie. It takes 5-10 mins to put insurance on a vehicle and if you refused to put insurance on a vehicle it will get repossessed. That's part of the contract and She was made well aware of it, and sent several reminders of this to get it done.  It costs a lot of money to repossess a car from 90 miles away. She violated the contract and found lies about her app and other things she claimed. Everything was a lie. I told her she purposely violated the contract and can get the car for the remaining balalce and she can get her stuff out at anytime. I didn't refuse to give her her stuff back as she claims.

She showed up with her friends threatening my employee and then proceeded to sit in the lobby right by the door and call the cops claiming she was in fear for her life- instead of walking out the door she sat inside and said that. I called the cops to handle the situation and they helped her get all her stuff out of the car. I kept the electronics to cover the cost of the repo. I offered for her to get her electronics for the cost of the repo and let's be reasonable about it even though you put my business at risk for thousands of dollars. But instead of doing that she posted my family all over facebook calling me a scam artist and a liar.

Since then 4 dealers from around Sioux City have called me and said that RACHELLE BROWN HAS SCREWED THEM OVER ON DOWN PAYMENTS, SOLD THEIR CAR SHE HAD A LIEN ON TO SOMEONE ELSE AMONG OTHER THINGS SHADY. She had a horrible track record with car loans and i was willing to help her out because she seemed honest, and was very upfront with her about the importance of getting insurance and what would happen if she didn't. If you are a seller of a vehicle or anything else BEWARE OF THIS LADY!!!!!! She will lie to you to get what she wants and if you don't she will slander you and your family all over facebook. We have lots of happy customers and she is ruining the business with her lies and slander. If you see anymore post please email me at [email protected]. She is under a cease and desist for slander and harassment. 

 The computers were left in "good faith” and expected to be returned ... never was it agreed upon that it was part of the deal ... the contracts were stolen and changed to reflect the shady deal - I have proof that Dave Rensink has been caught tampering with contracts in the past as well as criminal prosecutions from investment scheme flipping houses called Renford with his shady business partner, Joe Stanford. Seems like ripping off hard working people is not their "first rodeo” ... they have poked the wrong hornets nest! How do you like them "apples” now?! Check mate. The SEC for South Dakota has been in contact with me and he’s currently under investigation for fraudulent practices ...

The dealer knew you were uninsured but you had no idea? No one is buying that bull. You failed to honor the terms of the agreement. Here is a new word for you: Collateral.
