BuzzC says: I'm PISSED OFF! That 2004 Honda scooter had a "discharged battery" only. I bought the battery brand new six months prior. I had rode it up until the day it was put in the impound lot on July 24th, 2007. It shouldn't have taken any dealer two hundred dollars to put it on a trickle charger overnight. Plus I had a full tank of gas ($15) in it to boot. $1800.00? You gotta be BSing me? d**n! What a fu*kin' ripoff. It only had 12k miles on it. That thing was $9,000 cash out the door 3 1/2 years ago. I should know I counted out 90 $100 bills for it at that time. The machine was still worth at the very least four to five grand.

Robert Hiday wrote: 1. The amount credited for the scooter is $1,600.00. When I got it it would not start. So I took it to a dealer who got it running and cleaned it up. It was sold to a third party (after several months of trying) for $1,800.00. The dealer charged $200.00 for the repairs and cleanup.

BuzzC says: You folks really dropped the ball bigtime by getting such a low, low price for my nine thousand dollar scooter. I want to know who to complain to because my bill should almost be paid in full had you obtained a "fair price" to start with.

You say you sold it to a uninterested "third party." Can you furnish me proof of that? Of course you can't! $1800.00 for an "at the very least" four to five thousand dollar machine doesn't jibe in "anyones" book, especially not in mine... Julius B. Carey (BuzzC)

Buzz, it simply doesn't happen this way! More to the story!

Buzz,

I, too live in Florida, and have done the default thing.

Before anyone can sieze ANYTHING, they MUST first sue you and win. Then they must get a court oder based on that judgement.

If you were notified of a lawsuit against you and you failed to respond, that is your fault. If you failed to respond, they just got a default judgement against you.

If you have such severe health problems and knew you had iminent financial burdens, WHY would you pay cash for 2 vehicles of that amount!

You should have hidden the cash and filed bankruptcy. That would have protected you.

FYI...when stuff is siezed or repo'ed and goes to auction, there is no requirement for them to get top dollar. They get whatever they can get. This is why you should have protected yourself in the first place.

Why it was sold?

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

POSTED: Tuesday, January 15, 2008

Hello-- http://www.hidayricke.com/contactus.html
Your firm had a bank levy drawn up against me and had my 1999 Cadillac and 2004 Honda Scooter seized by the Columbia County Sheriff's Office. This occurred yesterday, 24 July 2007. Said vehicles are now in their impound lot. I called and they want all the money I owe you at once. Six grand plus five years of 9% interest. I'm on Social Security Disability and had a massive heart attack on April 28, 2007. I take nine perscription pills each day. I need at least one of those vehicles preferably the car to go to doctor appointments and get my medications.

I paid 13 grand for that car two years ago. And 9 grand for the scooter three years ago. Cash money in full for the both of them. That's $22,000 dollars!

Could we make some sort of deal where I pay you each month and get my rides or one ride back? That's why I'm in arrears now it took me over three years of waiting to get Social Security. I owe you and several others as well. There's no way I can afford what you'd want at auction. You already have a judgement against my real estate. How can you take my vehicles as well? It makes no sense? Meanwhile I'm stranded here ten miles from town. If my PAID FOR vehicles must be sold to satify your debt then so be it. But I thought I'd run this one by you first?

Thanking you I am--

-------

I have no problem paying those fools but expected a "fair price" for a nine thousand dollar machine. No way did I receive anything even remotely "fair." I got the car back after paying $300 down and $150 per month for the next 'forever.' Had the scooter been sold for a reasonable amount my total debt would be almost moot now. The debt was for an old Visa card that I couldn't afford to pay on any longer. The minimum payment alone was more than I could manage. The scooter was to be sold and the selling price deducted from my bill. Oh well, FEMA is a loser here too. They're the ones who paid for that Honda after Hurricane Frances came through the area and flooded me out in '04...

#2 Consumer Comment

When it was sold, they have to provide you with the bill of sale

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

POSTED: Tuesday, January 15, 2008

But first, if it was worth as much as you claim, why didn't you sell it and pay it off? And of course, how is it anyone's fault but your own, that it was repo'ed anyway?

You should tell us why it was sold!

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

POSTED: Tuesday, January 15, 2008

You forgot the main part of the story!

WHY was it sold? Was it sold for unpaid repairs?
