My father leased a vehicle through Drive Financial. He passed away in June of 08. I called and told them he passed away and I wanted to do the pay off when the death benefits cam through, but it wouldn't be until September. The lady I was dealing with said it was fine, just keep her updated.
About 3 weeks later I received a call stating to pay the balance in 3 hours or the vehicle gets towed. I spoke with management and they pretty much said sorry, pay or else. After I made payment, a week later they required another payment or repo. Every two to three weeks they were requesting payment. They were harassing me, calling 8 to 10 times a day, even calling my wife's phone, in which I never gave them the number to.
They even got an old friends number, a friend I haven't talked to in almost 1 year. To scare me into payment, they even have repo trucks drive by my house as they are calling. I am not on the lease at all, my dad is. Knowing he passed they still call asking for him and will not speak to anybody else but him.
On one occasion, they called my aunt claiming she was a reference on a lease I signed... I didn't even have a license at the time the vehicle was leased. Drive Financial is a rip off. They require you pay more than value. They will harass you, or track you down, and make you play they're scam games. Watch out.
