In no way does this have contingency or forwarders “all over it”. More like a unscrupulous jackass….. insurance is not the question but more importantly the lender that hired them and did they do their due diligence? Or the repo company owner and the due diligence. .. don’t be quick to blame the forwarder as they have more stringent requirements than most buy here pay here and direct clients. Posted by a large San Antonio dominant. Come on now, place blame where it’s due, not where your sore spots are.
This has contingency and forwarder all over it….I wonder if he even had insurance.
It seems as though everyday I am reading about repossessors’ who conduct their business in an unprofessional manner. I know that the national and state associations are working diligently to clean up the ranks of their respective organizations, but here is the missing part to the clean up. Most of these less than professional companies would not be in business if financial institutions did not hire them. I can assure you the $50.00 -$100.00 they save using these companies is peanuts when these types of incidents occur that CU collector has been writing about. SO… financial institutions help us, check credentials, check compliance documents, confirm certifications, really saving $100.00 is worth peoples lives and consumer law suits. I’m sure its not.
