DRIVE FINANCIAL Dishonest and Fraudulent Billing ripoff Carol Stream Illinois

I am sending this email in hopes that someone out there will step up and help me as well as the other hundreds that have been financially injured by Drive Financial. I have had an account with this company since Feb 2004. About 5 months ago I was diagnosed with Thyroid cancer and called Drive to get a deferment first I was told there was no such thing, but after some insistance I was given a two month deferment or so I was told. Not long after that I began getting phone calls about me being behind and that I had not made a payment in Dec 05, then

It was May 05. Then I was told that My May and June payment was deferred not June and July like I had requested, then I was told that My May payment was deferred and the Sept payment went for August. It has turned into a nightmare. I began requesting a payment history about 4 months and was told on numerous occasions that It was sent but I never got it, I was still getting my bill every month.

Then one of ther reps told me that he would email it, well and email came I could not open it so I downloaded it to a disk and had a family member take it Kinkos to open it and was told that there was a file there but it was empty. I have receipts for payments that I have been told have not been made. Drive has been calling my home 4,5 6 times a day, hanging up or not even speaking when I answer the phone just holding the phone and not saying a word and I know its them there number is on my caller ID.

They have threatened to repo my car even tho I have payed the payments and just recently sent my Oct paymet on 10/31 a few days late, but sent it thru my banks web pay so there are recepits and history of the payment and here it is 11/07 and it still have not been posted or taken out of my checking account, and I guarantee I will be charged a late fee.

This company has got to be stopped they are scamming good hard working people out of millions of dollars and saying they offer second chances , well I feel its a second chance to get SCREWED. Please help I will gladly join a class action suit. This is not the only time that Drive will have been involved in one there was another filed in March 06.
