In April of 2002, I contracted with US Auto Management of Phoenix to sublet my car to a responsible party. I also then in May provided them another vehicle to sublet to a responsible party.



I choose to go with this company not out of need, only because I wanted to, I did not have to because of a financial situation, or anything like that. I needed a large truck to tow trailers with and a Montero Sport and Trans Am just would not do it, so instead of taking a loss as a trade in I decided to go this route.

Well, things went great for the first 2.25 years, and now its October 2004, and my 2000 TransAM is missing in action.

I looked up my contract after not getting any payments for a little over 2 months (during this whole time I was bugging them about where my money was), after not getting anywhere and saying the payments were sent and what not... (you know the story), I learn that the Office Manager Mark Bezjian has embezled $50,000 from them!!!.

So after having several conversations with the new owner (Ryan- who I might add has been extreemly helpful in this situation.. but has been unable to locate my vehicles)

Tonight, I decided to call the person who supposedly had my car, and she said "No! but I do have a Jeep Liberty from them.. and Mark and I did not see eye to eye", she was really nice about it, and told me to call anytime.. and now she is concerned why her information is on my paperwork, so her and I are going to pay them a visit on Wednesday to see if we can get to the bottom on this...

So it would appear that as of tonight this so called Mark Bezjian not only took $50k from the business, but has falsified documents.

But the story gets deeper, on my credit report I show as having a 30 and 60 day late on this car...... and then I get a call from a repo company on it!!

The plot thickens.. as I mentioned earlier I also have a Montero Sport ES with them, that is missing at least 1 payment, and approaching two...

I have been told that this company has been disbanned in California because its illeagal...

Here are the cars that I am looking for, I will post pics as soon as I can get them.

2000 Pontiac Trans AM - Dark Navy Blue - Tan Leather - Has a ProDyno Sticker in the Front Window and large oversized Oval Exhaust Tail Pipe Tips. License Plate AZ # 644-GRL

2000 Mitsubishi Montero Sport ES - Black - Oversized Off Road Tires, on Alcoa Style Wheels, has custom exhaust on it, License Plate AZ #319-JEF

If anyone has seen these vehicles whereabouts PLEASE LET ME KNOW!! The owner (me) wants to know where they are at!

UPDATE

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

POSTED: Sunday, November 19, 2006

Well - I have my judgment against Robert Allen and Joseph Robinson personally, and was able to pierce the corporate vale and charge to individually, so now my next step is to have a arrest warrant placed for them.

Rob is known to be in Las Vegas.. but not sure on that.

Even though Rob admitted to the Attorney general that he violated the statutes and was banned from doing such a business he is still doing this business, along with his business partner Robert Friou. We have a letter signed by Robert Allen that he is still involved in this line of business. Hopefully it should be enough to get criminal charges brough against them.

POSTED: Tuesday, August 15, 2006

however if you notice in my update dated 4/1/2006, when I paid the banks, I made them agree in writing to abide by any court rulings if they were in my favor before I paid them, that I would get my money back. Though it will be a fight, I feel that I will be victorious with them if I need to play that trump card with them.

The lender never released you

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

POSTED: Tuesday, August 15, 2006

Your answer says it all. The lender never released you from the loan. Therefore you were obligated to pay them back. If you take them to court it will be a waste of your time and money. They do not owe you anything, The owner of US Auto owes you the money.

update

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

POSTED: Monday, August 14, 2006

That is your opinion.. and you are entitled to it.

However, part of the consumer fraud ruling:

Section 12:

paragraph (a) - the company provided vehicle owners with a means of removing themselves from a loan or lease payments without dealership or lender penalties

paragraph (e) - the company created a worry free arangement to the protect the owners investement and credit.

Section 21:

At no time did the defendants Allen or his employees, and/or agents notify vehicle lenders that a borrowers vehicle was enrolled in the USAM Cave Creeek sublease program, or obtain consent for the sublease of the vehicles enrolled in the USAM Cave Creek program.

I also have a letter from Allen stating that he contacted my lenders and got their approval. This letter was apparently a fake, and my lenders were never notified.

I may have to bring legal action against the banks.. if they dont want to play nicely.

16636 N 58TH ST #1002

SCOTTSDALE, AZ 85254



http://starpas.cc.state.az.us/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/WService=wsbroker1/names-detail.p?name-id=L09991924&type=L.L.C.

He terminated this LLC on 4/12/02





http://starpas.cc.state.az.us/cgi-bin/wspd_cgi.sh/WService=wsbroker1/names-detail.p?name-id=L10362846&type=L.L.C.

And created this one on 6/28/02



My contracts were dated 4/22/02 and May of 2002, both of which were using the US AUTO MANAGEMENT LLC which as you can see above on 4/12/02 ceased to exist.



I checkd with Detective Addington of Phoenix Police who heads up Auto Theft Division and he says that is sufficient for fraud, which is a class 2 felony in Arizona.



Since he signed those contracts during the time that his corporation was in limbo, he is personally liable, and not protected by the corporate LLC.
