Nate McClinton, Owner and sole employee of Beverly Hills Luxury Car Brokers found my listing on Craigslist and saw that I was trying to sell my leased vehicle.
He contacted me via email and we spoke on the phone a few times. Nate promised and gave me a written contract stating that his company would find me a client to drive my leased vehicle, keep up-to-date payments, and take full responsibility for the vehicle as long as I kept the vehicle registered under my name. He also promised (and written in the contract) that if his client failed to make the monthly payments that he would cover the monthly cost of the vehicle. Yea... But he doesn't cover the cost of anything else! I was pretty much S.O.L.!!
This was a complete SCAM to get my vehicle and lease it to some loser with no or bad credit and pay Nate a huge fee to drive my car around and abuse it completely.in the contract I signed with Nate, it stated one persons contact information and had this person sign a contract that they agreed to all the terms. Then without notifying me, he gave the vehicle to another user and didn't give me a signed contract with this new person driving my car. He also withheld the information of his client until I threatened to sue him. The agreement and lease stated that the vehicle could only be driven 15,000 miles per year.
This client drove my car 30,000 miles in ONE year and got into a car accident and there is over $2000 in damage on the body! The only reason I knew was because the vehicle got REPOSSESSED because Nate's client was driving without a license and got pulled over. I was forced to pay all the fees upfront in order to protect my CREDIT! Thus, my credit card interest is higher and this ultimately hurts my credit because of debt to income ratio. This person also got 3 unpaid parking tickets, was involved in a hit-in-run, and failed to renew insurance. Keeping in mind that the vehicle is still registered to ME. This only hurts ME not Nate!
Next thing I know, the Leasing Bank is sending me bills and bills for payments, late fees, and repossession fees. The total due on my "co-leased" vehicle is as follows:
Bank Payments: April payment $319.91 & $225 late fees for entire 14 months = $544.91
Fees due to Custom Recovery: $763.30 for impound fee & $425.00 for repossession fee= $1188.30
WM Malloy Tow & Storage fee: $245.00
LAPD Repo Release Reciept: $15.00
Excessive mileage fee: 14 months allowed (17,500) overage of approx 12,298 miles at $0.10 which is= $1,229.80
Parking tickets overdue: $87 each= $174.00
Spare Key Charge: $170
Default on Credit History: Payment due on February 24th in the amount of $316.98 was payed LATE on March 26 resulting in a one time thirty day past due notice on credit history. U.S. Bank Processing fee to remove delinquency off credit: $15
Estimated Body damage: $2,080.25
Total Costs incurred: $5,662.26
Nate McClinton owes ME $5,662.26. I have written him numerous e-mails, and send him requests to pay and he states that in his contract it is "not his problem" and its the clients responsibility to pay me!
I have already found one other victim of Nate besides me in the same position, and now I am looking for other people in the same situation so we can all get our money back together! Please contact me for more information!
