Grandmother With Alzheimer's Signed Car Loan, IRA Funds Raided

78 y/o grandmother with Alzheimer's taken to Mercedes Benz dealership with 50 y/o married immigrant. Despite her dementia, unstable gait and obvious difference in age, and on fixed income. She was scammed into signing for a new 350 R Mercedes Benz for this Indonesian male for greater than her monthly income. He promptly stopped payment in 2008 and demanded her life savings for taking it out of repossession so he removed her IRA and paid Mercedes. He then stopped payment, never returned the car on in 2009 or return date of 7/10 and Mercedes did not repossess the car. It is now 2012 and Mercedes Benz is wanting the entire cost of the car which will bankrupt and cause a 83 y/o alzheimers victim to lose all her possessions and home. She also owes in excess of $4,000. Tax penalty for the IRA funds of $16,000 that were raided to pay for a luxury car. She was under a doctors care receiving cancer tx when this occurred. Mercedes states she has to be deemed completely incompetent in 2007 to avoid payment. She was on a fixed income, had borrowed money on her home to pay bills and was scammed out of her life savings through fiduciary elder abuse. Don't expect Citibank, Mercedes Benz Financial / sales persons to have any sympathy. The Mercedes Benz dealership told me the only thing that would stop a sale despite the obvious disability, mental incapacitation, balance deficits and obvious age difference would be if her bank accounts had been frozen. So you can legally steal a car and rob a bank, just get the next dementia patient coming out of surgery for breast cancer and defer detection by family members for 3 years and you can fully abuse an elder its okay. If your parent or grandparent can sign their name, they can lose their home and entire estate at Mercedes Benz House of Imports Buena Park California with any immigrant with a scam from your local church or group home for elder care. Not a sole will help you.in total my mother lost $90,0000.00 with removal of life savings for Mercedes Benz, fraudulent checks, tax penalties.
