Obviously the scam this company is burdening innocent hard working people with is very wide spread, just judging buy what a search on Google and other search engines pulls up. My on-going problem with the criminals at the Rickenbacker Group is growing more dire because of the fact that Im an active duty Marine who has very little time to deal with an issue like this and was scammed while I was on a 9 month deployment over seas, thus causing me to be completely un-aware of the situation and missed important legal dispute deadlines. I sold a vehicle in Oct. 2008 to a gentlemen in Palmdale CA only to find out a couple of weeks later that gentleman never registered the vehicle and wrecked it. It had been towed and stored in a Palmdale CA yard. Origionally that yard had come after me with a bill of around 700 something dollars for towing and storage. My father had contacted the yard on my behalf (Because Im in the Marine Corps and I was training non-stop that month in preparation for an upcoming deployment) and showing the employees my transfer of title, I was released of all fees and liability. Thinking all was good, I didn't think much more of it. It wasn't until october after I got back from a deployment, that I found out a debt of $1,400 dollars had been reported to all three credit reporting agencies and had gone to collections. The collection agency "Rickenbacker" of Morgan Hill CA is now collecting on the same car that had been released from the Palmdale CA impound yard! How can the car which my father had gotten released using my transfer of title end up in another yard over 600 miles away? Also how can a collection agency representing an impound yard post any amount of money in collections when I never received any credit from them? Are they somehow illegally posting collections? Are these people Legitimate? I've asked numerous times for a proof of debt letter be mailed to me to no avail. They claim they mail these items but every time I call to find the status of them, my mailing address somehow seems to be wrong, even when I corrected them the three previous times. The calls have become more and more frequent and predatory, they say now they are charging interest on top of the 1400 dollars, wage garnishment and arrest is likely and so on... I am very aware of the fact that these people are extortionists who will stop at nothing to use the "system" to con innocent people out of their money. I refuse to give in and pay these criminals, but on the other hand if I don't pay, The collections report will remain and any law enforcement orvfirefighting job wont hire me because of that fact and finding any housing options after I get out of the Marine Corps will be that much more difficult to find. Anyway, Im just very agrivated with the whole situation. Is there any advice or help anyone is willing to lend a hand to my issue? Past experiences with these people?
Thank you for reading.
