Please keep us all posted on your progress and what you find out. Kudos to you.
First of all, this company DOES run illegal credit checks. See my post on this website:
badbusinessbureau.com/reports/0/270/RipOff0270505.htm
In my post, toward the bottom are links to the FTC where you can also file a complaint. I also filed with the BBB of Atlanta and got a response from the company. I did not accept their response and rebutted. I don't expect much to be done, but they did say they would try to get the credit inquiry removed from my credit report
. I am in the process of finding out if this claim can be filed in Small Claims Court
The saleman never got to the contract part because I called the meeting to an end after hearing $16,000 for an above ground pool. I could have had an in-ground pool put in for the same price and at a better interest rate. Even if I did buy, we would have never gotten past the contract because I am one of those rare people who read the fine print and will not sign unless t's are crossed and i's are dotted.
Secondly, I'm sorry, but I just don't believe these good feedback comments from supposed "Happy Customers". A backyard swimming pool in Manhattan!!!???
If a person has enough money to afford the land in Manhattan to put a pool on, then I can bet money they're not paying 21-25% interest through Blue World to put in an above ground pool.
If they think paying double, a 21-25% interest rate and a lien on your property is a great deal, then maybe the training staff is right and the people who buy are stupid. You can get a better deal than that walking in off the street to a Finance Company like CitiFinancial or Beneficial.
Furthermore, are they paid endorsements, did the writers get some type of compensation or friends and family of Blue World Pools trying to save face with the public? I find it VERY difficult to swallow that a happy customer would even be doing research on the company AFTER the pool is installed let alone take the time to write a glowing review with the same phrases being used by all of them (quality family time, gatherings around the pool, swim sessions, grand, gala).
