Due to my husbands and my credit my mother-in-law volunteered to co-sign for us. An ad in the newspaper attracted us to Meadow Homes. When we got there the trailer wasn't all that was advertised. The salesperson showed us another one that came with a package deal that consisted of a 52"big screen t.V., stereo, dvd player, two leather recliners and two Titan's tickets. The home sold for $19,500. But we needed a septic system and electricty run to the property. My husband asked if they could add that into the loan. It ended up that they said they could only swap out the Titan's pkg. For the cost of the septic and he could only get his big screen t.V. Well it ended up being in my mother-in-laws name only.
We got none of the pkg. Items;not even the t.V. And the cost of the trailer ended up being $25,137.59. The home they delivered was the display that we were told we would not get. It has alot of cosmetic flaws not to mention electrical and water damages.
We later found out that the salesperson at Meadows even committed fraud cause the first loan did not go thru because my mother-in-law told the truth about getting the home for my husband and myself. The salesperson told my mother-in-law to tell the next finance company that she would be the one living in the home.
Being in her 80's and for the love and concern for her son she did exactly what she was instucted to do with the finance company. It has turned into a nightmare.
I have contacted several agencies on the matter. I think the finance company is going to break the contract because of fraudant actions on Meadow's part. We will be without a home but we're already displaced due to the unsafe trailer.
I'd rather not have one at all than to pay on one that we can't live in. I just hope other people read this report and it will stop them from being took by Meadow Homes.
