Matthew's Motors
Spot delivery scam

My wife and I went to Matthews Motors on August 18 to purchase a vehicle. We dealt with a salesman named Travis. We told him our credit was not great, he ran reports on both our credit. He came back and said he would put the application in my wife's name since her credit was better than mine. We ended up getting financing thru Americredit and signed a contract. We drove a 2006 Ford Taurus SEL off the lot.

The next week, Americredit called and spoke to my wife. They asked some questions about her income and expenses. The rep then told her she would receive a statement/payment book a couple weeks before the first payment is due. Matthew's Motors called on August 24 and told my wife that she needed to have more income on the application. We went to the lot on August 25 and the finance manager, Russ, re-did ALL the paperwork adding me to all of it. He dated all the paperwork August 18. We then left with a SECOND contract that stated we had financing with Americredit.

On September 17, Matthew's Motors called and spoke to my wife. They advised her they were NOT able to secure financing and that she needed to find a co-signer or they would come and take the car. We have looked over our contract (s) and do not see anything about "subject to financing" or "subject to loan approval". We had an attorney we know look over the contract that weekend and he did not see anything that says they can take the vehicle back either.

My wife spoke with Russ on September 17, and he is trying to say the second contract is void because Americredit did not approve me. He also claims my wife lied on the application and said she lives with family (other than ME and our children). They made a copy of our lease the first time we were there.

We are filing complaints with the Attorney General, the BBB, filing a usacomplaints.com, and I will see the attorney we know tonight.
