Clayton Homes - Oakwood Homes Ripoff Deceptive Pay Practices Marysville Tennessee

I hope America reads this before giving their hard earned dollar to Companies like these! I'm still in the business in a town where there is Oakwood and Clayton homes and I thank them for being the way THEY STILL Are TO THE DAY! I sell alot of people that look at their product and salespeople. I wonder how they are still in business. It won't be long when Clayton ends up like Oakwood Bankrupt but that won't stop them from ruining peoples lifes. Look at the ripoff reports of the families investing in a dream that always turns to a NIGHTMARE with this company. there should be a law in the USA to stop unfair business transactions! BEWARE they will promise the moon and the stars but NOTHING ever happens but you CRYING> about some salesman that got your money and doesn't make your dreams come true. They dress up their homes for you to look at and put the best furniture in their models .... YOU WOULD THINK THEY WOULD FIX THEIR HOMES UP FOR YOU AFTER YOU BUY THEM. THREY WANT YOU TO SUE THEM. THEY GOT MORE MONEY THAN YOU> THEY don't care about you America. Just on T.V.

Dear Jim Clayton, I read your response to this report on the company you used to own! I now work for a company that REALLY cares about employees and customer alike! I work hard for whoever I work for and always have. Your ex-comapny is SO BIG You out of all people Didn't even read my statement! Look at your response. All you wanted to do is want someone to BUY YOUR BOOK!!! I read your book SIR!! I liked it it made for some d**n good reading. I think I'm a better salesman after reading the book.

Since I don't have enough money to SUE you............... How about this Jim

First allow me to post the following notice and disclaimer. I am the founder of Clayton Homes, Inc. which was fortunate to buy Oakwood which was one of the companies in the 60's and 70's that inspired and motivated me to grow Clayton. Unfortunately, Oakwood, in my view, outgrew it's infrastructure and leadership and the rest is history. I have no legal connection to Clayton or Oakwood and the views expressed are mine personally. However, I am proud to share my name with Clayton which is considered, and I firmly believe, is one of America's truly great companies staffed with wonderful leadership and workers, many of which I personally recruited and mentored.

Feel free to leave your email or phone info with Customer Service and I, or their fine staff will Promptly respond with answers to your questions or concerns. My guess is that your payments changed due to a change in your insurance premiums. It is likely that your late charges were 5% of the payment and not $5. They will be happy to provide you with the details on each of these items.
