Kept them in town.... locked them into a no bargain deal..... if anyone wants to file a class action suit a Gulfport, Mississippi

 Hi,

I signed a contract with these people, back in March to get a truck.  They would not tell me the payment amount on the phone.  I was told, that we would talk about that when I got there.  They told me, I would be satisfied with the arrangement, on the payment.  This was on the 1st attempt to get a quote on the payment. The second attempt to get a quote on the payment, I was told that everything would be rolled into one payment insurance and everything.  They didn't mention wheather it was monthly or every week.  I told them that I could not afford a large monthly or weekly payment.

I went down there to pick up the truck, it was as though they were trying to rush me off the lot, with the truck.  The photo they sent me of the truck before I wired my $5900.00 down payment from my bank, was not the same truck I was now looking at.  It looked like  it in it's appearance which was a gold freigtliner 2006.  It was gold like the photo but the inside photo was different, everything in the photo was not broken.  When I got into the truck the truck was tore up from the floor up.  The door on the cabnet would  not stay closed when i turned the corner while test driving it. 

The shelves were falling down on my daughters head during the test drive.  All that, was just the cosmetic portion that was wrong with the truck so far, the salesman, assured me that cosmetics was the only issues that it was a good running truck that would allow me to make money.  Once we signed the deal and we pulled off the lot, got under a load, it broke down about two days later. The warrenty deductable was $499.00 on any repair that is done, for the first 30 days. Of course, we had to replace an air line, this was somthing only a mechanic could do.  That was $242.00 plus the towing of $200.00,  the list of repairs goes on. 

The truck is in the shop right now as I'am writting this complaint, it broke down for it's last time with  my driver in it on thursday May 9th 2013. They stopped bugging me about a paymnet, because like I explained to them that J b  hunt whom I'm contrated to as a carrier took their load off of that truck and had to put it on another one to complete the job.  American truck Group is expecting me to fix this truck now, that has no warrenty on it, except for the 50/50 warrenty that is only good in missisipi- Gulport and they will pay 1/2 and I pay the rest. 

They have caused me to loose alot of money as well as any potential money to be made, due to the worthless peice of equipment that I rented from them,  if you rent a truck in this golden rental agreement the repairs should be on them or on the insurance coverage that they make you take out. with all the repairs I still took care of the repairs and still paid my weekly rental note every week, until this last break down.  Because it clearley states that if your truck is in the shop longer than 16 or 17 hours they will meet the payment.  

Far apart from that I have made good money but the cost of the repairs, and the $893.00 payment  with a finance fee of a previous repair that was supposed to be coverd under warrenty had to be made every week.  Pleople please read your contract better yet, don't do business with them, because there outfit is set up to play on the weaknesses of the people that do business with them.  Now if I'm not careful they will try to put something negative on my credit report.  Lol.

By the way did I mention that when it rains, the truck leaks, and the light fixtures are filled with water.  I plan to right letters to everyone that will listen. And, call all the people that I can, and make enough noise, to be heard.  With each copmlaint I'am asking that everyone would please give a full detail description of the truck that they had rented from American truck group.  If I can be of any assistance  to anyone that need my testimony or imput, please  email me at (((email redacted)))

They changed their name again from United Truck Group to NoCreditCk to American truck Group and now to American Truck Showrooms. They are still the same scam company and Truck Capital is now National Truck Funding. They may change their name to Green Planet Trucking or Investment Group Holdings or Global Transportation Reinsurance Company LTD or City National Precious Metals or atsTrucks or whatever sounds legitimate but does not carry with it the same reputation of lying, stealing, and dishonoring everything they agree to on the phone, in person, or in their 30 something page contracts.

Read about these other companies I listed here on the RipOff Report, the ttuckers forum, or the BBB which rates all Louis Normand Jr's companies (same company) with an "F"

I purchased a truck with this company last year and it has been nothing but a nightmare from the beginning. I wish I had visited this site and seen all these comments before I wasted thousands of dollars with these people. Everything I've read so far on this site about ATG is absolutely true. This is a company that takes advantage of ambitous people with weak credit trying to become an owner operator or start a small truck company. There 50/50 warranty is garbage. It only applies at there service center in MS. For an OTR driver this is not practical. The one time I happened to drive through there and get work done, the labor and parts cost are exaggerated to offset there contribution. What should be illegal is there sales tatics. The pictures they advertise of trucks on there website and truckpaper are not even on there lot but are from other dealers selling them. I could only wish that with enough claims and disputes that there will be a class action suit against them to prevent others from following the same fate myself and countless others had. Please save your money, and give a few months for your credit to heal and go buy a truck from a reputable company like Arrow truck sales if you want a Volvo so bad. You will come out so much better by actually financing a truck and not dealing with a B.S. rental program paying $1600 monthly for a truck you dont own.

I will help with the fight against ATg,utg,ntg,nccllc,whatever they call themselves they need to be shut down and not be able to come back into business under another name that new shop they built is with our blood money they need stopped now.

Hello. I'm sending you this message in hopes of getting a lawsuit or at least get someone to look into this company. I'm in the process of submitting information to the Attorney General and the United States Department of Justice.. I don't know how far it will get me, but it sure can't hurt to try... just wanted to let you know, you're not alone and I plan to fight with everything I have left... Thank you for sharing your story.

Take them down,there are alot more that need to go out of business with them,but we just have to work on them one at a time.Predatory loans should be a thing of the past,all they do is prey on the weak and folks with little or no money.

I wish you folks nothing but the best and God Bless.
