My son, barely 18, was hired at a local dealership changing oil, tires, etc. He was making 8 bucks an hour.
Next thing I know, he all of a sudden has this MASSIVE toolbox that he said he NEEDS. When asked how much, he said he only had to pay the Snap-On guy $20 a week.
Soon he has all these exotic tools and wrenches of every sort in the toolbox.
I guess you know where this is leading. He got tired of "just changing oil" and he soon quit. Of course I have been stuck with paying the bill. And what a bill it is! $4800 financed at 24.99 interest!
I could not believe it. How could a grown man talk an 18 year old to buy all this stuff? I was not consulted in any way, and am paying the bill to protect my son's credit. (He has now decided to go back to school)
What amazes me, is that you cannot access the online account and you never get a bill or statement. I had to call the regional rep., just to get an idea of the payoff! I have been paying over $150 a month for 19 months, and he still owes $3200.
I have demanded that the company send me an itemized statement of everything he was sold, the amount finaced and balance owed. The rep claims they have a "gentlemanly way of doing business." They go around every week collecting money and of course selling more tools.
