The company my car was financed with went out of business, i never heard from new company now they try to repo?

Question by : The company my car was financed with went out of business, i never heard from new company now they try to repo?
The Company I financed my car went out of business or bankrupt, it was a buy here pay here type place. the company went out of business due to many unlawful practices & scam involving the sales of car& the car dealership. The payments were taken directly out of my bank account every month. I never missed one for the first 2 of the 3yr note. When I went to trade the car I discovered that the dealership that I bought the car from was gone and had been for several months. I went to my bank to find out who was taking the money out of my account each month for my payment. I finally was able to make contact with the people taking my money and they informed me that my car was a lease not a purchase. This was one of the many scams the dealership used & was convicted of. I had the payments put on hold, did a VIN inquiry at the Texas DMV and found out that the car was still owned by the first dealership & their finance company that went bankrupt was holding the lien on the car. This would be the company/owner that is headed to the federal pen for 20 yrs. Not the company that was taking my money every month. The finance company that was taking my money ever month never contacted me, never mailed me anything, i had too track them down. When I ask them for answers they did not have any at all, and most of the time i would call and talk to someone they could not find any info on my loan at all. And if they could they would only know t was a lease(which it was not)

What rights do I have? Dose the new lien company “if they are” have an obligation to notify me? Did the finance company I signed contracts with have to notify me? And what does the law say about the title having a lien holder that is not longer in business? Shouldn’t the new lien holder be on the title if they in fact are the new lien holder? I will pay for the car I owe money on but will not waste another penny on a lease with a company I never heard of and never gave permission to access my bank account. All of my signed contracts state the dealership that went out of business and the owner that is headed to the pen, no phone number on anything i have for them are in service anymore.

You need to get a lawyer.

You were scammed and right now you have no legal rights to the car you’ve been paying for. Nothing can change the fact that you don’t own the car. It’s not fair, you are probably going to have to go to court to make things fair, but due to the bankrupcy, you may not be able to get anything.

Where are they now? – the used car edition

September 8th, 2011 John No comments

“Where are they now?” It’s always fun to do a little research and see what happened to obscure celebrities after they faded from the spotlight. Yet this game doesn’t solely work with people. It’s also interesting to track down some of history’s most famous vehicles and see where they ended up.

MSN recently looked at several vehicles that became famous for one reason or another. Some ended up in the hands of collectors while others just narrowly avoided the scrapheap.

O.J. Simpson’s infamous televised getaway brought the phrase “White Ford Bronco” into the public lexicon. So what became of the vehicle after the trial? The news source notes that the car was not actually owned by Simpson, but instead by his friend and former NFL player Al Cowlings. Reportedly, Cowlings sold the used Ford for a whopping ,000 to a private buyer – but the sale was not without controversy. Cowlings was sued by a celebrity memorabilia company for allegedly reneging on a deal he had in place to sell the vehicle to them.

Even decades-old used cars can still resurface from time to time. Al Capone outfitted a 1928 Cadillac Town Sedan with bulletproof glass and 3,000 pounds of steel armor. After he was captured, the U.S. government impounded the car, only to later use it as part of Franklin Roosevelt’s security detail. It was later sold to a Texas car collector, whose estate still owns it today.

The Dodge Charger shot to fame thanks to its use in the TV series “Dukes of Hazard.” The story of the actual “General Lee” used on the show is pretty complicated. Multiple versions of the car were used in order to handle all the stunts, but the original model, known as “LEE 1,” was salvaged from a junkyard by John Schneider, who played “Bo” on the TV series.

After restoring the car and holding onto it for a number of years, he eventually put it up for sale on eBay. It first looked like the car sold for close to million dollars, but the bidder later withdrew that amount and it was sold in a second auction for an undisclosed sum. Collectors value other models used in production at between 0,000 and 0,000, according to AutoBlog.

 

One of the more recent examples of a car shooting to fame was the Cadillac Escalade driven by Tiger Woods on the night of his accident. That car was actually loaned to Woods by GM, who seized the vehicle after the incident. The news source reports that GM will use the car for internal purposes after repairing it, but will likely eventually sell it.

 

“These kinds of vehicles almost always go through a formal auction process,” Cadillac spokesman David Caldwell told USA Today.

 

Although it’s likely that any of these vehicles would fetch a high price tag at a used car auction, drivers interested in saving money shouldn’t discount the auction format. Bidding on a used vehicle can net a driver big savings as opposed to negotiating with a dealer on a traditional lot.

I was F*cked over by wellsfargo dealers, they are taking my car but decided to call my mothers landlord first?

Question by Pamela Anne: I was F*cked over by wellsfargo dealers, they are taking my car but decided to call my mothers landlord first?
Wellsfargo all in all made it so it appears I Did not pay for my car for five months ( I Did pay it but its too late and I am okay with the fact I have to seize it or sale it first ) Anyways, the thing that bugs me is what the bank did. They called my mothers landlord and asked them where I was – not only am I 22 years old, but my mother only signed one thing 3 years ago – not a co-signer but a witness of me.

Was that legally sound of them to track down my mothers landlord about me, a place I live 3000 miles away from as well ? it all seems illegal to me such as harassment at this point . thanks.

Answer by Bruce
There is no law preventing them from calling your mother’s landlord.

Harassment is repeated, unwanted contact that serves no purpose. A simple phone call is not a repeated course of conduct, and certainly serves a purpose.

Vehicle History Report for used cars for sale ? are they worth It ? Hell YES

August 4th, 2011 John No comments

Buying a used car in today’s market can be very risky. You never really know what you are buying, where the car has been and what has happened to it. But there is a simple report that you can order online that will take a lot of the guess work out of the process and ease your mind. What report is this! A vehicle history report of course!

Carfax is one of the major players in the vehicle history reporting game and in my opinion the best. For only .99 you can order an online vehicle report that may prevent you from buying a lemon and ultimately save you thousands of dollars.

Here are a few reasons why it is definitely worth getting a Carfax before you look at your next vehicle.   

1) Accident Information: This section will tell you the history of the vehicle. Shows all pass accidents and tell you whether or not the vehicle was written off and repaired or just in a minor fender bender. I would say this is worthy news to know.

]]>

2) Car Recalls and Safety Concerns: Some cars have certain problems when they are built. This section of the report will tell you if the vehicle has had some problems that are common in the models built that year. The report lists all factory recalls that have been posted by the manufacture.

3) Odometer Fraud: Some people have the know how to turn back the odometer on certain vehicles. This report shows the buyer of the used car the information on whether or not this vehicle has had this done. Odometer readings are recorded whenever the car is serviced or title is transferred. If the numbers don’t jive then this report will show this.

4) Title Check: As the title states. It checks to see if the car has a clear title or as a lean against it. You do not want a vehicle with a lean against it because you may have to pay what ever money is owing in order to take possession of the vehicle. Worst yet your vehicle could be repoed and sold on you to pay the lean. This section alone makes it worth getting when buying used cars for sale.

So when your’re looking at used cars for sale, it’s worth getting a Vehicle History Report for your next car.
