Me and my sister and her husband arrived home and found this vehicle blocking the driveway to my parents home. Upon arrival we found 3 individuals outside in a vehicle and 2 inside and it was approx. 9:30 p. M, we had to park in the roadway and proceded with some caution.
There were 2 salesman inside selling our step-father a kirby vacummn cleaner and i clearly stated that my parents cannot afford to purchase a item of this expense at this time because of fiancial difficulties because my mother was just getting back to work after being on disability for the last 4 months.
They were pushy and kept stating he was buying it for her for valentines day and said he had 3 days to change his mind. Regardless like i said i should have tore up the contract and called the police but i hesitated.
I could tell my step-father was slightly confused and they were pushing the issue and if we had not arrived who knows what could of happened. My mother was at work at the time. Theres a question if our step-father is in the early stages of Alzimers. Regardless he was here alone and their prowling in the neighborhood at that time of the night on seniors.
They were receiveing $152. And puting the pen in his hand when we walked in. My step-father claims he knows what hes doing and this just isn't something normal he would do, he's tight with his money and has been wanting a big screen tv for the last 8 months or so but he has stated he couldn't afford it, plus there is other necessities that they need besides a vacummn.
This has caused a lot of stress on him cause he thinks we are calling him crazy and has caused a lot of arguments between him and our mother and the rest of the family. We try to tell him we are just trying to look out for him but he insists on we are calling him crazy.
We just think its a in justice for these individuals to be out here at that time of the night and pressing him into buying something of that magnitude $1615.84 at his age which is 75, our mother is 64 and i know the governor is pressing regulation about companies that take advantage of seniors this way. Is it not against the law to be solicting after 9:00 at night? My mother told him he should not be opening the door to people at that time of the night when hes alone.
Some assistance would be greatly appreciated in this manner, its about divided this family if it hasn't already. Help us resolve this matter. My mother needs glasses not a vacummn, we will come up with the money somehow for them regardless. Help please in Mi.
