My girlfriend in Las Vegas fell a couple months behind on car payments to Americredit. She contacted them to make some type of payment arrangement to keep car from being repossessed. They (Americredit office personnel) agreed to accept a payment from her by Wednesday of that week. On Tuesday of that week she stopped at her home in between errands for less than five minutes and in that brief time her car was towed. The tow truck drivers did not want to hear anything about a payment arrangement that had already been made with the home office.
After towing her car, Americredit sent her a letter that her car was going to be towed to New Jersey for a car auction. She will be charged all towing miles from Las Vegas to New Jersey, amounting to several thousand dollars. And they are adding storage fees and other fees to that.
This company is a rip off and they do not honor their word. If you cannot honor your word, then you have no honor. Instead of working with their customers in these difficult, economic times they make matters worse. I recommend that no consumer should get involved with Americredit. If you do, proceed at your own risk as you have been warned!!!!!

Let that be a lesson to ya

When you sign contracts, and you beak that contract, you cannot get upset when you get screwed. The finance company sees it as you trying to screw them when you go months without keeping your end of the contract. Put yourself in their shoes. You loan someone money and they tell you they will pay you so much a month and they go months without paying but only giving you excuses. You will get fed up with it too after a while and don't want to hear anymore excuses from them. You want your money now. You guys need to go to buy here pay here lots to buy your vehicles if your not willing to HONOR your contracts.

Contract

AUTHOR: Jayleigh - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Thursday, May 07, 2009

After reading some of these i have only one question does anyone read there contract when they get there new car, a finance company does not have to tell you that they are comping to repo your car so that real lesson is " don't pay at your own risk because you never know what can happen.

Keep in mind...

That this is a 2nd hand report. He is in CA and getting this information from his Girlfriend in Las Vegas.

There are several details that are probably left out, either by the Girlfriend to him or him in this report. For example we do not know when the arrangements were made. We do not know exactly how late she actually was. A couple of months could be 2-3 payments, and that makes a BIG difference as to if a car is reposessed. And while he does say that a payment was due on Wed, he also says that it was an arrangement of "some type". So is there more to this "some type" that was left out?

As for being towed to across country, that is a new one. Which is why I have doubts that this is the whole story. But if by chance this is true and they do attempt to charge her for the tow across country, I could see a possiblity of a dispute because that would be unreasonable.

Honor involves understanding...bonehead. This is in reply to the "Honor,Eh" poster

AUTHOR: Casey - (U.S.A.)

That was a clever little way to beat up the original poster with your IF:THEN:NOT logic. So what you are telling me is that a financial giant needs to squeeze these poor people out of even more money in lieu of an "updated promise". Guys like you who sit around and figure out how to goat on somebody who has a valid complaint need to exercise more, or drink a cocktail, or get a girlfriend...who knows. Life aint that bad. Be nice and it's contagious.

Honor, eh?

AUTHOR: Jt - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Friday, May 01, 2009

You say: If you cannot honor your word, then you have no honor

Your girlfriend did not honor her word when she said she would pay x amount of dollars per month for the car. She therefore, according to you, has no honor.
