I paid a visit today to my neighborhood amscot to change a money order that my mother had sent me for my birthday. Mind you a $50.00 money order.Due to the recession there are hard times for everyone,thats what Bonnie stated before she took half of my money order. Now in better times back in 2006 I used to used Amscot on the regular to take care of bills etc.etc ahead of time and slowly but surely my credit went up so I was able to receive larger amounts of loans.As luck might  it I was laid off and it was all down hill from there.Nonetheless Amscot was yet to be paid. So after losing my apartment,car and almost my dignity I fell hard.Since then I have been on a on going struggle just to put food on the table for myself as well as my family but when I go to Amscot they decide to of course verify who I am, ask for my I.D. and asks for updated information but fails to let me know that she was about to take my money.


Oh yes recession or  not where  people are living on a thin line they want their money which I totally understand so She (Bonnie) states that I must make a significant payment now or else she can take it all.Ok take $5.00.Isnt that significant. Now mind you I owe about $500. That is $500 that I dont have.Oh did I fail to mention that this money was to complete my Late rent.Well of course to Amscot that doesnt matter.So she decides to take half or threatens to call whoever to see if we can take it all. Yeah sure just leave me out of house and home with my birthday money that my 70 year old mother sent and it was a Amscot money order.Now this wasnt a loan that I came by got it and left. If you know you have to build that amount up and was always on time and never failed to pay until our country feels the wrath but guess what. Bonnies answer to all this is "Im just doing my job". Well said Bonnie, so how does it feel to take food out of someones mouth.She stated everyone is feeling the recession and my answer to that was "some worse then others" I have been out of work going on almost two years and I strongly believe that a sucessful company such as Amscot might want to use a different approach on how to collect whats owed to them.


I havent ran nor hid from this company.As a matter of fact Amscot isnt the only one I owe and guess what? Because of what the country is going thru so is thousands even millions of others.Is the recession hurting Bonnie? I dont think so.She has a job that could be her carrer and shes what I call "lucky" Because what we are going thru can happen to anyone or is it that Amscot isnt aware that people are really messed up.So i just want to add that Bonnie was very professtional when taking what little money I have but when I dont have a roof over my head is Amscot going to let me stay with them. So now I have officially named Amscot the non-compassinate finacial service..I would have respected the fact if she might have told me upfront that the issue needed to be rectified because Of course I knew I owe the company but to act as if to throw the curve ball is out right terrible.


I was born in Bushwick Brooklyn and when I say Im broke its because theres nothing but lint in my pocket not that I have 5,000 in the bank that I will use on a raining day.By the way if your not familiar with the area I grew up at,google it.It seems that Bonnie as well as Amscot is going to be ok as long as they keep taking money that is theirs but dont give 2 cents about what were going thru then so be it.I want to thank Amscot for making my birthday the best one I ve had in such a long time and hope they enjoy those $25.00.As for your employee of the month I wish Bonnie all the luck in the world because she should always remember that she could find herself in other peoples shoes even if they dont fit her.Of course this doesnt matter to Amscot because of the money they generate but my business is over with this company. You will get your money but its not going to be money that I have to pay my rent nor take food out of my familys mouth...No need to call since I imagine your company will be attempting to collect the  balance.

HOW IS THIS A RIP OFF?

AUTHOR: Kathie - (USA)

POSTED: Saturday, October 10, 2009

You owe them money, they don't owe you anything.  I think they did you a favor by giving you the $25 which is rightfully theirs.

Everyone is experiencing the recession and the results of a bad economy.  You can't use that as an excuse not to pay your bills. 

And FYI... On a balance of $500+, a $5.00 payment is NOT a significant payment.  I'm sure that didn't even cover your interest due.
