Search TipsI found a section titled Repossessions on the Maryland Department of Labor, Licensing and Regulation web site. The site clearly states:
"Motor vehicles are one of the most common types of consumer goods repossessed. A creditor may repossess your vehicle if loan payments become delinquent, even after one missed payment."
We have now closed the books on that discussion.

Barb...that was NOT the "law" you posted!
AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Sunday, June 03, 2012
What you posted was in no way the "law". That is simply "advice" from a consumer help forum!
Are you really that stupid?
A Saturn??? Those cars were JUNK when they were new! Just a small amount of research would have been to your advantage.
Bottom line:
If you feel the repo was illegal, you should have filed a police report, and then had charges pressed on the repo agant for any wrongdoing. Did you do that??? Why not???
It was either illegal or it was legal. Which is it?
What you like or don't like is not relevant here.
Simply doesn't matter.
And, you are both so dumb, you dont know anything about subprime lending, at your age?
Really?
It seems like you and your husband are just plain dumb.
No cure for that at your age.

Refinancing a Repossessed CarMost lenders don't repossess a vehicle until car payments are significantly past due, often 60 days or more. Once your payments are reported as late and unpaid to the credit bureaus, it becomes difficult to obtain another car loan. Work with your lender before it seizes your vehicle (which is what I was trying to do) or seek the help of a co-signer if you can't refinance the car on your own. (Bear in mind that I had just sent them a large payment to bring it closer to current, with a promise to bring it current in two weeks and they told me they were allright with that arrangement).

Ok, FYI, The vehicle was a 1997 Saturn SL1. It had many mechanical problems when we bought it. He probably paid much more for it than it was worth in the first place. We thought we would get a better deal on a used car at Carmax, and we didn't know it was what you BO's refer to as a subprime lender. The financing was just offered to us, so we took it. We both belong to a credit union, but since we were there, and my husband needed a car for work, as the engine went up in his 15 year old Toyota, we just went with it. I paid cash for my SUV at a regular dealership, and recently traded it in for a new car when the wheel bearing went up. Already had the engine overhauled and didn't want to sink anymore money into it. So the car was about 10 years old when he bought it. He just needed it to get back and forth to work, 8 miles away, and buses don't go to rural areas where he has to drive into to his workplace. Telling someone to hitch hike is a joke too. There is no guarantee you will get picked up at 5 am in the morning and make it to work on time. Some of the crap I have read by you BO's is a joke.

And, more on the "employee" thing...
AUTHOR: Southern Chemical and Equipment LLC - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 02, 2012
Most small businesses cannot afford employee expense due to the workman's comp and UC premiums alone as the direct cost, then the indirect costs as well.
However, I do have a "contract" mechanic on commission, and he sets his own schedule, etc...based on how much he wants to make....on commission, and then I can hire temps as needed without having the employee expense, as the temp agency bears that burden and that's why a $10.00/hr helper costs me $16/hr., but only as needed.
Then, I am big into barter service for service, and product for service...another way to avoid employee costs.
Barb just has a hardcore employee mindset, and will never amount to anything. Think about it, at her age, still using subprime lenders.

My husband has been self-employed since 1986. He has never had an employee and continues to do very well. Employees are expensive and are also a pain in the butt for a small business.

AUTHOR: Steven - (U.S.A.)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, June 02, 2012
Josey refers to Patti, Steve, and Robert as team rebut because they can spot a BS claim from the beginning and say so. If you would check out some of SCE's postings you would see that if someone has a real problem with collectors that he can provide a great deal of info to help them out. The same thing goes for Patti and Robert.
They are not the same person and do not work for Carmax. If you had half a brain you would know that SEO's work to push down the results of searches ON THE INTERNET not ROR. For example, every time someone updates this thread it goes up to the top of the search on ROR so if they did in fact work for Carmax why in the world would they keep on responding to you (if they don't this thread goes back to the bottom where it belongs).
Before you go around calling the IRS about SCE's loop-holes you should look at yourself. The same thing is called playing the system. If as you claim Carmax could not repo the car until after 90 days you played the system.
You originally state that you supposedly paid more than the due amount because you wanted to pay ahead. Did you bother to write 3 separate checks? or maybe enclose 3 payment coupons?
The fact that you had to get a car loan through a subprime lender is an clear sign that you and/or your husband seem to have a hard time paying your obligations that is probably why Carmax just took the car instead of having to deal with you any more.
If they sold the car at auction for 500 hundred bucks that means that you and your husband did not take good care of it or it wasn't worth much more than that. By the way why don't you provide some info as to the year and the model of the vehicle?
You are very wrong. There are many thriving solo entrepreneurs in this country. I know one author, one independent insurance agent, one tutor, three software developers, three graphic artists and two auto mechanics that have become very successful without any employees.
"I think it is great that the character 'Robert' came in to the rescue of the character 'Steve.' And I have friend in Sarasota to verify."
I'm sure you'll verify that just like you verified, "They legally cannot repo a car until it is over 3 months overdue."
When are you going to post proof of that claim?

BO. That explains it all.
So, all of you, Hambuger Pu*y Patti, LOLLOLLOLLOLLOLLOL, is gagging on a load down her throat, and the made up "Steve and Robert" all have referred to me as a looser, among other things, ha, you are the losers. You have no company at all. You are hired geeks to try and discredit any complaint that a person has against a company. Ok, I said that Carmax did not have to be nice or help me in anyway, and I was accused by these people of having a "sense of entitlement." No, I do not have that. There are companies that have a reputation of being ruthless. That is their right. So...when word gets out about them, people will not do business with them, as every other business does. You see, businesses want people to like them. That is why the rebuttals were not coming from businesses. They are coming from Team Rebutt.
Who in the hell else would spend their time arguing with a person on the web???? Not a legitimate business. That is for sure. Hired. Hands. Loosing. Patti, is your labia black?

1. All the company wants is their money. They dont care if you like them or not, so stop giving your self a special place in the hearts of all your creditors thinking they will work with you because they want your good will.
2. Most of your creditors will never take you back as a customer any more.
3. Your line that "All the other Creditors Worked with Me is a LOAD OF GARBAGE". You know how many times I heard that from our customers, when I was trying to collect on a payment that was 90 days late?
4. Your idea of "Working something out with Car Max" was probably something like "LISTEN CARMAX, I CANNOT PAY YOU CURRENT FOR AT LEAST 30 MORE DAYS, AND THAT IS THE BEST I CAN DO". So CarMax went out, and took your car, and cut their losses.
5. I LMFAO when you were angry that Carmax sold the car at auction for 300.00, and you thought they should have offered to sell the car to you for that price. YOU ARE TRULY A BAFOON.
6. Go ahead and file bankruptcy.
The filing fee to file bankruptcy is between 200.00 and 2000.00 (that is in Wisconsin).
The Cost of Hiring a lawyer can vary.
There will be fees that the Bankruptcy trustee will charge you each month, for the next 3 - 5 years.
The Cost to your credit will be priceless.
You will pay far more than the 3000.00 that carmax is trying to collect from you.
SUCKER!!!!

1. I cannot type, and do make minor typos, but that's is.
2. The bottom line is that you are a deadbeat and an idiot.
3. You act like a spoiled little child with an entitlement attitude.
4. You are a liar, or just delusional.
5. But, I can only imagine what type of hideous creature you are. And, I'm not into illiterates, like you.
6. Deadbeats shop at Carmax.
7. The OP has some sort of entitlement attitude
8. The REASON my business IS successful is because I do not have employees (like you) sucking me dry. (How dry I am)
9. You are an idiot, and a loser, and deadbeat.
10. I'm a big boy
11. The bottom line is that you are a deadbeat and an idiot.
12. I know how to spell "right".
13. I can tell that you aere a fat and/or hideous creature
14. I am not an alcoholic.
15. I drink 3-4 beers in the entire evening.
16. I'm a big boy. (repeat)
17. You are a very bitter old hag
18. I am 6'2" tall (not short), a full dense head of hair that I cut into a flat top (not bald), I don't smoke anything (no cigar), and although I love dogs more than people, I don't "bark", and I'm 265lbs (not fat), just normal for a guy of 49 years old who drinks a few beers only on weekends with my chicken wings and 10 year younger than me girlfriend.
19. As to how I spend my time Barbie dear; when I made the other
rebuttal I was lounging by our pool watching my wife and 8 month old
grandson playing in the pool. That's the up side to being self employed
(Ok, does Steve have a wife AND girlfriend). He must be an Arab or a Mormon. Or is Steve cheating on his wife with his 10 year younger girlfriend?) It seems that the "BO" may be in some trouble "O."
20. I don't get any time off, I work 7 days a week running my business
21. I was lounging by our pool watching my wife and 8 month old
grandson playing in the pool. That's the up side to being self employed.
(There seems to be a little discrepency here concerning Steve's 7 day work week and lounging by the pool, it's the upside to being self employed). Perhaps Steve lives on another planet, that affords him an 8 day week
22. You are a very bitter old hag.
23. And an illiterate, and a liar
24. I'm a big boy (repeat)
Yeah Yeah Yeah...You're a big boy Steve..we get it.

It was only a percieved "rip off" due to her entitlement attitude and Obama sticker on her bumper.
Actually, it was the OP who engaged in the ONLY "rip off" here.She entered into a contract and then DEFAULTED on that contract and then drove around in the vehicle for THREE MONTHS for FREE until the lender did a repo of said vehicle AS PER THE CONTRACT the OP signed and agreed to!
The repo was perfectly legitimate.
No rip off on the part of Carmax.
The OP filed a malicious and false rip off report against a business.
That is the real rip off here.

For Barb...I'll keep it real short so you can comprehend.
I don't care what you think or what you like.
Period.
You are an idiot, and a loser, and deadbeat.
You know nothing about owning or running a business, so your comments mean nothing as they are made out of ignorance.
You are an employee, and of an employee mindset, and that's only when you are not unemployed and dodging your creditors.
The REASON my business IS successful is because I do not have employees (like you) sucking me dry.
Employee cost is HUGE.
I don't need employees in my business at this time, as I contract whatever services I need, or do the work myself.
You are a loser, and will always be a loser.
You don't have what it takes to be a business owner.
I do.
And, you are still an illiterate, and a liar.
You failed to meet your financial obligation under a finance contract that you willingly signed, and then you scream rip off when the lender did a repo, as provided for in that very same contract YOU signed.
Then, YOU engaged in a rip off against the lender when you drove THEIR car around for FREE for THREE MONTHS.
I can see clearly by your low educational level, entitlement attitude, etc. that you are an Obama supporter, right? You have the gimme my free struff mentality because you are too stupid to do anything for yourself.

No the sign of a thriving business. No employees equals no customers.
Not in the budget.
Stevie has to be careful with what little money he has.
No male employees. No female employees.
Stevie is the only employee. And he makes his own hours, see previous quotation.
What part of NO EMPLOYEES is confusing to you?
That isn't confusing Stevie, when companies have not employees, they are out of business.
My business has grown fourfold in the past 12 months.
Steve from a previous post: I play the same loopholes as the rich, so I will never pay taxes, legally. (Stevie has loopholes to get out of paying his taxes. I'm sure the IRS will be interested in this)
I am not an alcoholic.
(The rhetoric of a true alcohlic)
I drink ONLY on Saturday evening and ONLY at our weekly get together and barbeque.
(He feels the need to exlain to me his drinking habit)
I drink 3-4 beers in the entire evening.
(More explaining about his drinking habit)
That in no way makes an alcoholic.
(More explaining about his drinking habit)
Alcoholics drink every day and cannot go without it.
(He fancies himself being an authority on addictions)
That's not me.
(He is living in denial)
I dare you to post your picture here.
(OMG. He wants to see my picture.)
I can tell that you aere a fat and/or hideous creature.
(Now Stevie has superpowers. He knows what I look like without ever seeing me. He insists that I am a hideous creature, yet wants to give me a lookover).
I would bet on it.
Stevie is also a betting man. Another addiction leading to financial ruin.
Your posts are all full of major spelling and grammar mistakes, while mine are not.
(Stevie, missed his calling. Instead of selling chemicals that ruin our environment, he fancies himself an authority on the use of proper grammer).
I cannot type, and do make minor typos, but that's is.
(He only makes minor mistakes. He feels he is obligated to me in some way to concede to this)
You make serious errors in spelling and grammar all the way through your posts, yet to claim to be an English major!
(Stevo has never taken an English class in his life, so he doesn't know that it is ok to to relax and just communicate when not writing a story or essay for an editor)
I know how to spell "right".
(He, wants me to know he knows how to spell "right.")
That was obviously sarcasim that you are too stupid to understand.
(Steve is calling me stupid)
The bottom line is that you are a deadbeat and an idiot.
(And a deadbgeat and an idiot)
You have proven that, in a public forum.
(He must be running low on the booze)
And, this last post to which I am referring to now contributed not one thing useful or accurate, and was written with a very childish and immature demeanor.
(I think Stevo is all worked up now)
You act like a spoiled little child with an entitlement attitude.
(Stevie is angry because his business is failing. No employees. Boozing. And spends his days arround the pool in his drunken stupor and in denial over his alcoholism and failing business)
Hope you get it together Stevie.

I simply posted those physical attributes in response to your post where you portrayed me as short, fat,bald, etc. It certainly was not a "personal ad" of any kind. I'm not looking.
(He thinks he is hot, so he DID post his physical attributes, if it can be believed)
But, I can only imagine what type of hideous creature you are. And, I'm not into illiterates, like you.
Steve's Assumption: (he imagines me to be a hideous creature, and not a human being. He also imagines me to be illiterate.).....and, he thinks I am interested in him. ewe.
English major? Riggghhhhttt. (Stevie, you spell like teenagers text. It is "right," not Riggghhhttt.
FYI...The position you speak of is no longer referred to as a "secretary".
That term went out a long time ago as it was considered sexist and discriminatory. (Stevo, assumes the role of teacher, he fancies himself a scholar and an equal opportunity employer, although he has no women working for him).
But, you are an old hag who thinks she knows everything. (Stevo, resorts to name calling, as he is calling me an old hag. I think Steve is expressing his anger)
The proper term is "administrative assistant". (And, I don't have either, I do it myself).

I simply posted those physical attributes in response to your post where you portrayed me as short, fat,bald, etc. It certainly was not a "personal ad" of any kind. I'm not looking.
But, I can only imagine what type of hideous creature you are. And, I'm not into illiterates, like you.
English major? Riggghhhhttt.
FYI...The position you speak of is no longer referred to as a "secretary".
That term went out a long time ago as it was considered sexist and discriminatory.
But, you are an old hag who thinks she knows everything.
The proper term is "administrative assistant". (And, I don't have either, I do it myself).

For the OP, I already said what I said and it is LEGAL. If you can find the law that said it is illegal for creditors to repossess their property (car) once their borrower is in default (not make a payment on time), then you would be right and others will surely apologize you. Please stop giving irrelevant info and go off topic -- you default the loan and Carmax did not work with you but repossessed the car.
For anyone else who comes in to read this report and may get into similar situation in the future, think twice before making a loan. You are obligated to make your payment on time. If you cannot, you cannot and must not expect that any creditor will work with you because they are not obligated to.
PS: I am an independent but lean toward democrat. However, I do not like to see politic involved in a problem that has nothing to do with politic. Want to talk politic? Create its own post.

We are taking a partial settlement for a lawsuit tomorrow evening and our attorney is filing a rather large suit against a medical facility that prescribed a medication to my husband that caused heart failure, and did not give him the warning paper that is required by law to be given with prescriptions that I am sure you are familiar with. When a pharmacy fills a prescription, they give you a paper with information and includes possible side effects and what to do should you experience any. The doctor denied giving him the meds, but we have the bottle, with the docs name on it. He is ok now, but his heart as a much greater chance of going out of rhythm again as the blood backed up into the chambers and he almost had a massive heart attack because the heart was not pumping the blood as it should. He had to be shocked to get his heart back into rhythm after many days in the ICU. So, we will be able to pay off Carmax, as a matter of fact, I am going to speak with him concerning Carmax and the laws in this state concerning repo and what my rights are under the law.
The creditors that lended us a courtesy will now be paid the full amount on time and in time, our credit rating will improve.
I believe that this young president inherited a mess from George W. Bush that this country may take a long time to get out of. I believe that he is trying to keep people from loosing their homes, and because of him, I was able to refi my home at a lower rate, and remain in it.

I am sorry that you have had financial difficulties of late. Regrettably though for all of us the bank, creditors, lenders, etc., will not be very sympathetic to your difficulties. In other words (as so many have already commented) a debt is a debt, end of story.
I am confused however as to how Obama entered this picture. I am a Southern Baptist conservative Republican. I am a retired HS Math teacher. My wife is a Black Jewish liberal democrat. My wife is a retired HS Chemistry teacher. We have been married over 40 years and we couldn't be more different. Funny enough though we both read your letter and agreed that debts must be paid.
As far as your political leanings perhaps you ought to look to Mr. Obama and question why you & your unemployed husband could possibly support this president and all of his failed economic policies.

I agree with that statement. Everyone is entitled to voice his or her opinion. The author posted a Ripoff Report against a company claiming they ripped her off because they were unwilling to alter the terms of a contract. That rip-off claim is not an opinion; it is a false allegation.
"some business owners as well as some financial institutions are insensitive to the consumer"
I agree with that statement. However, insensitivity is not a rip-off. It is highly unlikely the contract included a sensitivity clause.
"firing back to the consumer with things as minute as spelling errors and going way off the track of what this conversation was about in the first place"
After the author lost her case in the court of public opinion she chose to cloud the issue with smoke and mirrors. She claimed to be an English Major, which clearly was untrue due to her poor use of sentence structure (It was not about spelling errors).
I visited a Carmax location several years ago. I found their vehicle pricing to be at least 25% over market value and their interest rates were exorbitant. I determined that wasn't the place for someone (me) with excellent credit and a long job history. I have read many unfavorable reviews of their policies and would not recommend them to anyone. However, they have the right to hold a customer to the terms of a signed agreement.
The term rip-off is defined as a fraud or swindle. The author of this report did not describe the definition of a rip-off.

This site is for posting any rip off, when in fact there was one.
The person who started this thread was in fact the one who actually engaged in a rip off against Carmax when she failed to meet her obligations under the contract she signed.
Carmax DID NOT engage in any rip off against the OP, even thogh she feels that they have.
They have not.
The OP has some sort of entitlement attitude that makes her think that a business should work with her when she cannot make her payments as agreed. That's just nonsense.
A business is in business to make money, not to be a welfare agency for deadbeats.
The OP drove around for FREE for 3 months in the vehicle that Carmax owned.
So, you are saying that they had no right to repo that vehicle even though the OP was in DEFAULT?
Really?
Carmax is a SUBPRIME lender.
They deal ONLY with people who have horrible credit that have already proven they are not financially responsible.
People with cash, or good credit DO NOT shop at Carmax!
Deadbeats shop at Carmax.
So, if you are even considering shopping at Carmax, that just means that your credit sucks too.
Don't act like you have better options, because if you did, you would not even consider Carmax.
FYI...I do not now, nor have I ever worked at Carmax or any affiliated company.

Steve, it's obvious to me that Barb forgot to log on as "K Schwartz."
Both her and "K Schwartz" keep stating that "everyone" is attacking-simply not true. I offered information and advice in my first two rebuttals, but alas these fools won't acknowledge that. It appears to me that our "English major" cannot even determine the source of the rebuttals. There are TWO Roberts making rebuttals here. I am not the Robert from Irving and he is not me.
Tell us Barb, did you bother to to follow the link I posted and read the article about repossessions in Maryland? If Carmax failed to comply with any aspect of Maryland law germane to auto repossessions you very likely can successfully sue them for damages. I suspect such a lawsuit would be settled out of court very quickly by Carmax. Have you bothered to consult with an attorney about this?
FYI, if you decide to file for bankruptcy protection you are going to have to obtain credit counseling; something I am more than familiar with. I suggest you obtain the counseling NOW, even if you don't file for bankruptcy protection. Credit counseling will educate you and help you avoid this type of problem in the future.
As to being an English major, I would expect one to have better WORD and VERB USAGE. I don't pick on spelling errors but grammar and sentence structure are different matters. All anyone has to do is read Barb's convoluted statement about going to high school, vocational school, and college "all at the same time" to realize this alleged "English major" cannot use written language effectively. Perhaps we'll see some RipOff reports by Barb about her high school, vocational school, and college.
As to how I spend my time Barbie dear; when I made the other rebuttal I was lounging by our pool watching my wife and 8 month old grandson playing in the pool. That's the up side to being self employed; you work when you want and play when you want. I tried to offer some assistance to you and I got "slapped in the face" for it. That's OK. I'm a big boy.
You made your mess dearie, now you get to lay in it. If that sounds like a "right wing attack" on you, that's YOUR PROBLEM. You clearly cannot fathom how you've given the world the impression that you're a mean spirited, vile person who cannot and will not accept any statements that don't agree with your perceived victim hood.
You still haven't shown where there is a law that forces them to wait 3 months before repossessing a vehicle. Have you finally decided to ignore that little fib you made?
P.S. Do try to remember which log in to use for your next string of nasty rebuttals.

Leave iti alone already, coast. Carmax did the woman wrong. In these posts you call people liars, tear their posts apart. Don't you think I know what you are? As the Outlaw Josey Wales in a previous post gave it away. It clearly indicates that you are on the payroll of a company designed to clean up any complaints that may be damaging to a company. All of these rebuttals from your Team Rebutt, are bullshit. You are the liars. You are online pretending to be consumers. You are not. You are paid advocates representing companies that have bad reputations. You and your friends are so obvious it is laughable. I don't need a dictionary to look up what I know you are, and if you don't like the way I type, so what. I am not writing a proposal for congress to review, I am, unfortuneatly communicating with an outcast of society. A nerd of sorts, who is angry because of the rejection recieved. When backed into a corner, you lash out at people's grammer, typing ability, and things that have nothing at all to do with the original complaint. The only friends you have are online and you do not intercede with people in person. You are not liked by people, other than cyberfriends, and you do not date, and spend a great deal of time masterbating to porn. Typical nerd.
And, once again, Carmax did not do anyone wrong!!
Why is this so hard for nitwits to comprehend??
The buyer defaulted on the loan, and Carmax excerised their right to secure their collateral, as spelled out in the finance contract!
How is this a ripoff?
The buyer defaulted, AND drove around in the vehicle owned by Carmax for FREE for 3 months!
The buyer engaged in the only rip off here.
No business should be "expected" to "work with you" just because you decide not to honor the contract...for whatever the reason...doesn't matter.
But, I would bet that this OP, (Barb) still paid her cable, etc. along with other non-essentials the whole time she was not paying her car payment.
That is the entitlement attitude I was talking about.
She bragged about a big fancy house....but did she take in a renter to help cover her bills? Why not?
I bet she still had money for all of her "wants" like getting her hair and nails done, etc..but still couldn't make a car payment...because she EXPECTED the finance company to "work with her" because of her entitlement attitude.

She did not live up to the terms of her finance contract, and the lender, as agreed in that contract decided to repo THEIR collateral in order to cut their losses.
Carmax is a business that caters to people with bad credit.
That is their business.
Carmax did not engage in a rip off.
Barb filed a false complaint against this business.
The only "rip off" here was engaged in by the OP when she decided to drive that car around for free for 3 months while she wasn't making the agreed upon payments!
Empathy, consideration, etc. have no bearing on this situation.

The term is laid off NOT layed off.
"I don't recommend anyone buying a vehicle from them."
buy NOT buying
"sell it for less than it's value"
It's is a contraction for it has or it is. An English Major knows that its is a possessive pronoun. This is the ultimate proof that you are not an English Major.
"So the credit card issuers usually give you a six month period to lower your payments and pay only the principle"
principal NOT principle
Proper use of principle: Barb's principles entitled her to compare an auto repossession to a miscarriage.
"If not, Prove otherwise"
Prove should not be capitalized.
"every one of my creditor's were willing to adjust things"
creditors NOT creditor's
"Carmax does not have to do anything for it's CUSTOMERS."
Once again you have incorrectly used the contraction it's even though it isn't a possessive pronoun.
I skipped over your spelling errors. You clearly lied about being an English Major. It is apparent that you lied about having great credit because you would have borrowed money to catch-up on your delinquent payments to avoid the repossession.
We all await your response to Ramjet's request for proof that a vehicle loan must be more than three months delinquent before it can be repossessed. You admitted that you were three months behind so is it your claim that they had to wait one more day for it to be over three months delinquent?

Rip Off Report is a place to post when you have been ripped off. Right?
Carmax repo'd the car of the OP when the OP failed to make payments as agreed.
Carmax excercised their rights as per the finance contract.
I can't see the rip off here on the part of Carmax.
Carmax did nothing wrong, legally, or ethically.
They are running a business, not a welfare agency.
However, the OP did use that vehicle that belonged to Carmax without making payments as agreed, so therefore, the real ripoff here was perpetrated by the OP against Carmax.
Carmax will get the last laugh though, as they always sue for deficiency when a repo vehicle gets resold at auction.
The OP will get sued for that remaining $2500, plus costs, and a judgement will most likely be obtained and the OP's paycheck will get garnished as soon as she gets back to work, as will her husbands paycheck.
If I were Carmax, I would do it just for spite for the false report being posted here!

I walked, rode the bus, rode a bike, and hitchhiked to work when I couldn't afford a car. I defeated adversities and paid my bills on time so it irritates me when I read that someone expects special treatment and claims she was ripped off because a lender would not agree to extend the written agreement outside the four corners of a contract.
No, K Schwartz, it is not unethical for a lender to expect a borrower to honor the terms of a signed contract. All parties sign an agreement to verify those parties agree to the terms. Any modifications to the agreement must be agreed to by all parties. Carmax did not agree to modify the contract. It's not that complicated to understand.

I am happy that you have had the benefit of college.
I said that I only had a high school education and did NOT have the benefit of college. So by having a college education, you should be one step ahead of me, shouldn't you?

When I purchased the car from Carmax, I financed it at their request with a hefty down payment to keep my payments low. My Chevy Blazer I paid for with cash. So, amuse yourself. And I do not have to stop responding as long as your rebuttals keep showing up in my e-mail. Banks should have never been bailed out and you will fail again. Donald Trump was right. You should have been forced for file Chapter 13.

I had A1 credit and always had timely payments. And Im sure that is why you had to finance your car with Carmax. As others have mentioned, they are a subprime lender and subprime lenders do not usually work with people. The people that are forced to work with subprime lenders have already proved their creditworthiness.
If youve been working for 33 years, then Im probably around your age. I am 54. I only have a high school education. I never had the benefit of college. So anyway..today, I am a Vice President of an international banking institution. I am a credit risk manager, specifically. Lucky, no. I worked my way up.
Im sure you dont care and will have some harsh words to say that leave nothing to the imagination, but I own my home free and clear (paid it off in 5 years), I bought my 2010 car with cash (on 12/31/09), owe no credit card bills or any other debt. In addition, I have a very nice retirement savings. I realize that not everyone can do this, but I am proud of what I have accomplished.

In your original post, you said that you were paying on the Carmax loan for 6 years, which means that your credit was NOT "A1" as you put it until "Autumn 2011", or you would not have dealt with them in the first place. People only deal with Carmax when their credit is crap. NOBODY with good credit deals with Carmax. This is a fact, and just common sense, so please don't insult my intelligence.
Second, there is no such thing as "A1" credit. Personal credit is rated by a "score" which is numerical, and generally has a range between 300 and 850. There is no such thing as an "A1" rating.
Furthermore, I am not a company. I am an individual who owns a company. And, I will never pay for your healthcare, guranteed, because I play the same loopholes as the rich, so I will never pay taxes, legally.
The bottom line here is that your credit has been crap since at least 2005, otherwise you would have not been dealing with a company like Carmax who deals exclusively in the sub-prime market.
Furthermore, you should go back to the third grade and learn proper word use, spelling, etc. You are not nearly as smart as you think you are, and I can see right through a liar.
And, you certainly do have an entitlement attitude, whether you realize it or not. I can spot an Obama follower a mile away.

Dear Southern Chemical COMPANY. You are a company and not an individual. I have worked for the last 33 years of my life and earned everything I own. Only in the Autumn of 2011 I hit a rough patch in my finances. You do not know me personally, so please, do not insult my integrity. Once again, ONCE AGAIN, my other creditors stood by me because I had A1 credit and always had timely payments. ONCE AGAIN, Carmax was unwilling to work with me. And yes, "work with me is my way of saying HELP HELP HELP, my husband and I are without jobs. AND my other creditors appreciated that I called them and spoke with them about the situation. And no, Carmax does not have to do anything for it's CUSTOMERS. I get it? ok? A sense of entitlement. What a joke. You do not even know me or my history and responsibilities that I have lived up to, yet you are judging me and saying I have a sense of entitlement. Go to hell. And have a nice holiday. I have spoke with others in the same situation. Fortuneatly, they didn't have their car financed through Carmax. And, I was told by other individuals that their creditors worked with them as well. Now that I am gainfully employed, I am sure that my other creditors are glad they worked with me and now will be getting their full payments. Carmax can shove that car right up their ass. Yes, I get it, Carmax does not have to work with anyone. That is the rule that they live by and it is one word that I will spread from here to Kingdom Come. Oh, and, go back to your cookout. A friend of ours just gave us an extra car to use. Know why? Because we are untrustworty dregs of society. We are irresponsible and everyone hates us. That is why a friend lent us a vehicle so both me and my husband can get to work. We are just bad people, with a sense of entitlement. We can't wait for universal healthcare, so you will be paying for my healthcare. Thank you, in advance.

I know it sucks to lose something you need, especially after paying on it for so long, and almost owning it.
That is unfortunate.
HOWEVER....you have this very strong entitlement attitude that is just plain wrong.
Carmax is a BUSINESS, not a welfare agency. They are in business to make money, and your problems are not their problems.
You obviously bought a vehicle you could not afford. You stated that both you and your husband were working and got "layed off" . Well, IF you were living within your means, you would have had savings to cover those car payments. What about unemployment compensation? What about managing your priorities?
And, why were you dealing with Carmax in the first place? Just the fact that you had to deal with Carmax, tells us that you have a pattern of financial irresponsibility in your life, as they are hard core subprime "second chance" car dealers/lenders.
You actually engaged in a rip off against Carmax as you expected to be able to drive THEIR car for FREE, just because you were irresponsible!
Why do you feel that Carmax was obligated to "work with you"?
That expectation was simply unreasonable.
Lose the welfare mentality.
You are entitled to NOTHING.
Get over it.
Time to invest in a bicycle and/or a bus pass.
Owning a car is NOT a "right".

Are you delusional? You didn't make me angry at all and nothing in my posts (rebuttals 21 and 26) indicate anger. In #21 I corrected your misinformation and in #26 I provided MORE helpful information.
Now that I am a wretched person, you should do the moral thing and say a prayer for my soul. But you will not, because I deliberatly said things to piss you off.
I didn't get angry at all. Actually, I feel pity towards you. You are correct that I will not pray for you, but not for the reason you state. I won't pray for you because I don't believe in your "god." My way of helping folks is to take action or provide information; not lighting candles, waving incense, and rocking on my heels while chanting.
Once again....I was warning consumers about Carmax's ethics concerning working with their customers in this tough economic time. And all I got back from the extreme right wing is how I didn't do my part in a financial agreement.
I must have missed the part where I told you you didn't do your part. Kindly point out where I told you this.
And, I was told to stop complaining. HA. Isn't that what this site is designed for?
Not by me. You're so wrapped up in yourself and your problems that your anger and hatred of others completely blinds you to any assistance offered. Hopefully you will follow some of the advice I offered you-it will help you in the future.

Wretched statement by Barb
AUTHOR: coast - (USA)
SUBMITTED: Saturday, May 26, 2012
What kind of person would hope for a horrendous tragedy of that magnitude upon a family? That deplorable statement displays your true colors.
Here is a helpful article about vehicle repossessions in Maryland: http://www.ehow.com/list_7324094_car-repossession-laws-maryland.html
If they violated Maryland laws, you probably have a cause of action to sue them. I suggest you consult with a competent attorney immediately. I would also suggest to you that you contact a non-profit credit counseling service in your area-they can assist you and educate you so that you may avoid these types of pitfalls in the future.
I hope one day, somebody pisses on your in the gutter. It will happen. It will and I have willed it to be so.
I guess you didnt read my rebuttal (#21.) If you did read it, then youre just another fool who gets too emotional when folks dont agree with you to recognize helpful advice. You used CarMax as your lender; this indicates that you had credit issues BEFORE you purchased the car. Heres more free advice for the future: NEVER, ever use dealer financing for vehicle purchases.
Do you understand the problems with unemployment in this country and the illegals that are driving the wages we make either part time or full time down?
Do YOU know that we have minimum wage laws? Do you know how to report employers who violate these laws?
I hope you find yourself in the gutter and have to whore your mother out to eat a hambuger. I would not wish that on anyone, but I would LOVE to honor my contracts.
Now go and finger yourself and think about your right wing candadates. I am sick of this conversation and I think it comes from the proprieters of the website. This website will be reported as one that the proprieters theroff are part of the ultra right wing class that doesn't give a damn about people. I hope someone in your family has a miscarriage and you have to suffer to know what it is like. I really do. Humans like you have never had to scrape for anything. Are you weened off of your mother's titties yet?
Wow! Youre just full of love and peace, arent you? You do not have a monopoly on financial hardships-been there, done that. I spent 20 years in the USAF (MSgt), got divorced in 1978 and had to pay off THREE law firms and went to Consumer Credit Counselors of Sacramento for help-been helping others ever since. During the first three years of my divorce, life was very difficult but I never displayed the hate and ill will against folks with different views as you have done here.
With all your hate filled postings and poor use of language, I ask myself what type of person wishes ill upon others?
Thank God for President Obama.
That explains it. I am not surprised. Please tell me, what has Obama done that is GOOD for you?
You're response is laughable.

No it isn't. The late charge or the "pay this amount after xx date" is an ADMINISTRATIVE LATE FEE and is a flat rate. It is not applied to the loan balance in any way and it in no way will prevent a repossession.
Additionally, almost all auto loans are "simple interest" loans. What this means is when you are late with a payment, the creditor will assess ADDITIONAL INTEREST on the balance of the loan and add it to the principal. Folks who pay even one payment late can be in for a rude surprise when they think they have paid off the loan-in reality the loan is not paid off because of the added interest. Being late with payments early in the loan has a greater effect on the balance than being late during the ending of the loan.
Example: loan for 60 months at $300 per month. On months 8, 22, and 47 you pay 5 days late. You pay the administrative late fee as stated in your payment book stubs. After you make payment #60 you think the loan is paid and demand the title/release letter but the creditor tells you that you still owe about XXX dollars due to late payments. The reality is that there is still a balance remaining on the loan. Many folks get caught by this.
The way to avoid this rude surprise is to contact the creditor and ask how much you need to pay, INCLUDING ADDITIONAL INTEREST, to make up for the late payment and keep the loan "on schedule." ALL banks will tell you a figure (required by Federal and State statutes), you pay the figure as arranged, and when payment #60 is made, voila, the loan is indeed paid off.
Kindly tell me what law states that you have to be 3 months late for the creditor to repossess. Here in NY State, ONE DAY is enough if the creditor wishes to push it through. Most won't repo it this quickly unless you have a track record of being late or skipping payments.
- But that comment is so out there I had to let you know you are 100% wrong. If you truly believe this, I can see why you had issues. But of course if you want to prove me wrong please post the specific law you are referring to that makes it illegal to repossess a car before you are 3 months late.

Only one point
AUTHOR: MochaG - (United States of America)
SUBMITTED: Friday, May 25, 2012
However, the rest of the report points could be avoided if the OP followed the contract. What if the company repo the car on the first day the OP missed the payment, the story on here would be a bit different but that is still the OP's false -- not be able to make a payment on time regarding the contract. The expectation that everyone whom the OP owed to must help the OP is NOT valid. Is it a bad business practice for the creditor? May be but not necessary to be true. The thing is that the OP/borrower has already had the good; whereas, the creditor is out of money. Regardless the total amount of payment up to the date it is repo, the amount agreed in the contract is the expected amount that the OP agreed to pay in the first place. If the OP breeched the contract first, the OP MUST NOT and CANNOT expect a solution which would favor the OP.

Now, it's good that every other one of your creditors worked with you, but that does not make a creditor who doesn't a RipOff. With the exception of your Mortgage were any of your other creditors "secured" debts? How delinquent were you with them? How much did you owe? Were any of them already with Collection Agencies? All of that makes a difference in how willing they are to work with you. With CarMax did you have a perfect history up until 3 months ago when all of the sudden you just stopped paying them, or over time did you just become more delinquent? Just like the other factors determine if a creditor will work with you, this information could determine if a creditor is not willing to work with you.
You say you understand that they did exactly what they are allowed to do, and that you understand that you made an agreement to allow them to do this. But when they actually tried to hold you to your agreement you are calling foul. You don't get to have it both ways.
By the way if you really think CarMax was evil, just wait until you start reading reports on the lenders you will be stuck with since you now have a Repo on your Credit Report.

- The standard response when someone doesn't like what is said. Well if you even took a look around this site you would see how silly your claim is. Between me, Jim and Flynnrider I think we have been accused off working for several dozen different companies. Which is sort of ironic if you really think that is true because you can't even find one to earn some extra money to make your payments.
They are the only and only creditors who do not care about their customers.
- Sorry but that is BS. I can guarantee you if you did even a minor search you would see people complaining about how creditors that worked with you were the only one's who didn't work with them. By the way you are not a customer..you are a debtor who didn't fulfill the legal agreement you signed with them.
I have tweeted this, and I also own my own domain website
- But again you can't seem to find the time to search for another job. Even if it is flipping burgers at your local fast food joint or cleaning restrooms at the local bus station.
Carmax actually thinks I am going to pay for a car that they repod. I will file for bankruptcy before they get a cent out of me. Bye.
- I have a surprise for you. Even if you file for Bankruptcy you may still have to pay them back. Because you see it is not you who gets to decide about your Bankruptcy, it is the Federal Bankruptcy Court. If they determine you make enough money to pay off your debts they will either dismiss your BK or they will put you in a Chapter 13 which means you must make payments toward your debts for 3-5 years. Oh and you also don't get to pick and choose what creditors will go under the BK, ALL of your creditors will be included. Yes even the ones that worked with you.
By the way you never really mentioned exactly how you wanted Carmax to "work" with you? And is this a case of them truly not willing to work with you, or a case where you didn't like what they suggested.
The interest (NOT interst) and principal (NOT principle) have not been paid. That's why the car was repossessed.
"However, that is not the sign of a good business and consumers should be aware of their business practices."
It is a sign of good business. It is a deterrent to others (such as you) that expect to receive special treatment.
"They are a ripoff."
No, you are the offender. You failed to honor an agreement. You were not ripped off. You will continue to have lousy credit and high interest rates (if you can even get financing over the next ten years) until you change your attitude (and pay your bills).
