Ripoff Report Verified Safe

I guess i am another discusted WFS customer. I was paying on the Nissan that my Fiancee and I bought last year and fell into some rough times around November of 2006. I was injured at work and put in the workers comp system, so after having a perfect pay history on my vehicles for years, I fell a little behind on this one. Well, WFS 'Customer Service Reps' soon started calling me and harrassing me, 3 to 4 calls a day. I tried talking with them and explaining my situation, and asked if they could work with me, and I would bring my account curent as quick as possible. Right off the bat, they gave me incredible attitude and would not work with me. They told me i nad to pay the entire past due balance or they wanted to come pick up the car. I finally was able after many futile attemps to get a rep to schedule 2 payments and I was promised that the oldest late payment would be added onto the end of my contract to help me out of this situation. Well, 2 weeks later i found out that they never took the funds out of my account, and therefore put me even further behind in payments. When I called to question then about it, I was transfered to a 'Manager' who told me to pay $1500.00 at that moment or turn in my vehicle, at that point I got very angry and hung up the phone. WFS continued to call and harrass me every day 3 to 4 times a day, never leaving messages. So last Friday, a Rep named Eddie from Wachovia Dealer Services calls and leaves a message, THATS RIGHT FOLKS, leaves a message on my voicemail stating that I was hiding the vehicle and he was calling the police as soon as he hung the phone up to report our car stolen......STOLEN!!! and proceeded to tell me that what I was doing was felony grand theft auto and I would be arrested if the police saw me driving the vehicle. Well, guess what Eddie, turns out that threating criminal legal action against a debtor is against federal and state laws, and you voluntarily left that little speach on my voicemail. Thats right, he did exactly that, threatened to have my pregnant fiancee or myself arrested for stealing the car. Not only are WFS agents crooks but they are dumb crooks, and liars!!!!!

non-stop harrassement and threats

I read the comment regarding wfs/wachovia dealer services threatening constumers and also harrassing them. I also have had the same problem. After falling on hard times with a marital separation and lose of substancial income I fell behind on my auto payments. I tried to make arrangements with wfs and initially they did before they merged with wachovia dealer services attempt to assist me. I tried very hard not to be a month behind.

They did however even after me speaking with reps and scheduled payments would continue to call 3-4 time daily until a payment was made which disregarding any arangements we made for a payment to be made.

When they merged with wachovia I only had about 3 more payments left, I told them i would make a payment and on the first I would make another which was only about a week and a half away I began to get phone calls and reps would say that i agreed to pay account in full and since i didn't they demanded I tell them were the car was and that I was harboring the car mind you at this time the first was only a day away.

That day I spoke with several different reps trying to settle this matter they were all very rude and very inpatient. When asked how much my balance was each time I was told something different. I was even told that I must add an extra 100 dollars to my final payment to cancel towing fees since the tow truck came to my residence several times and could not find the car. I assured them that the car was not at all hidden.

I then recieved a message on my answering machine to which i saved the message that if i did not pay the car off the full balance which was now 1,200 by the end of the day that this particular rep whose name was Carl would come to my city that evening and file a class felony suit against me he stated it was a 18-2.115 fraud and conversion charge for not surrendering the vehicle.

Now say thats not a threat. This was after i told a previous rep that if they could not wait until the next day the 1st then come and get the car because i would not have the money until then.

Wachovia Customer

Ive been reading all the stories, and one has to look at the simularities. Everone is late on thier payments. Sorry folks, when you become delinquent, you get calls. Their are rules creditors to have to follow. In these stories i dont see anything so agreedious that would allow for legal action by the customers of Wachovia. First of all, they will threaten all kinds of things. NO, they cant take your house for an auto loan. No, driving or hiding a car in the repo proceess in not grand thieft auto.
If you have questions on what they can do, say or when they can call and where, id sugest you research online your states laws regarding creditors.
One guy stated he had a credit score over 700, that is your business bud, but why are you borrowing from Wachoivia FKA WFS if you have great credit???
Hope this helps clear up some things

HEY BUUUUD...THIS IS STILL HARASSMENT, AND THERE ARE LIMITS TO WHAT COMPANIES CAN DO, DUMBASS!

I think it is horrible when companies drag people even further down a path to no return. First off, a divorce, family with a serious illness, or someone undergoing severe financial hardship as a result of a layoff or downsizing, should be dealt with on a CASE BY CASE basis.

These companies carte blanche attitudes towards people and a one size fits all solution...IS NOT CONDUSIVE TO THE WAY OUR SOCEITY IS STRUCTURED. PEOPLE ARE STRUGGLING IN EVERY ASPECT OF LIFE- SHAME ON YOU WACHOVIA!
