Approximately 2 years ago I purchased a mini van from a local truck dealer in Port Orange, Florida. Financing was done through Flamingo Finance in Ocala, Florida. Like most of us I fell on hard times. After paying a week ahead for 2 years I got behind 2 weeks of payments. The first week I started receiving phone calls. On a Monday I received over 20 calls from Flamingo. They never left a message.
Finally I was able to answer the call. I asked if that person had been calling previously and was told no. I told him I received over 20 calls and was told "too bad, you'll continue to receive the calls until you pay up!" I then found out that they had been calling a friend of mine, who I listed as a reference, 3 or 4 times a day looking for me. I told the person to stop making those calls. He assured me he would.
I received calls the next day and asked for a supervisor. The person refused and said if I didn't make the full payment that day they would take the van. I again demanded that they stop making calls to my friend/reference. They assured me they would and 5 minutes later out of spite called him again. The calls continue to come daily.
