customer harassment help?

Thursday, October 15th, 2009
odone asked:


Summary: I am being harassed by a customer and need advice/help

I work for a financial company as the second in command next to the owner however I do not own this Company, I am simply an employee there.
I have a customer who started out being a great person to work with. This customer was in the process of acquiring a loan however mid-way through, the customer’s credit dropped to where we could no longer continue with the loan offer. We offered an other type of loan and this customer was thinking it over. A couple weeks went by, the borrower decided to not pursue the loan and then out of no-where starting harassing me making all these false accusation (the customer is – like most – suffering from financial distress and I feel this person is taking it out on me). This person now emails me obsessively with threats, completely out of line and unprofessional comments, and clearly has lost all his marbles. It’s pretty much a Mr Jekyll and Mrs Hyde situation and although I have stopped responding to his crazy and notoriously erroneous emails as it gets us nowhere, he has now found my home phone number and my address. He has only called and hung up thus far but with these crazy person threats I’m afraid of what he may do, we are certainly not dealing with a sane person at this time and this person is now taking it to another level by bringing it to my home. The owner of the Company and the Company’s Attorney feel that there is no issue at hand since we did nothing wrong and therefore they do not feel the need to contact this person or have time to get involved – I believe they don’t understand the magnitude of the situation now.

Any advice on how I can get this crazy person to stop harassing me with ridiculous threats, can/should I get the police involved?

What could happen to a seller of a home if he/she cancels backs out of the purchase contract?

He/she is currently in the inspection period. Lets just assume that the appraisal came in good and the buyers loan is holding up strong. The only thing he/she can hope for is for the buyer to cancel the contract after that buyer recieves, in writing, that the seller won’t pay for the repairs that the buyer requested. But if the buyer still wants to buy the house, what will happen to the seller if he/she chooses to cancel? Of course, the seller can be sued, but sued for what, exactly?

Co-signers rights?

Monday, September 14th, 2009
sfcastrolionmark asked:


Could you help me with this situation? I had co-signed for an ex-lover to purchase a vehicle about three years ago. I haven’t heard from this person in over two years. I came home Wednesday night to find the vehicle sitting in my driveway, with the keys, and the registration in it. There wasn’t a note or a message or anything.
I called the finance company and they had told me that the payments where always made on time except for the last three months. I also found out that the registration was three months behind as well as a few tickets on it.
So, I made the payments to the finance company to catch it up. I am taking care of the registration and tickets. As well as added the vehicle to my insurance.
Now I want to protect myself if I am going to take on the financial responsibility of the vehicle.
I am unable to reach my ex and I think that he may have even left the country for a period of time.
The registration lists him or me as the owners of the vehicle. Which is apparently different then if it was listing as him/me.
DMV is telling me that this makes it possible to remove him from the registration of the vehicle with out his signature.
Now DMV will not remove him from the vehicle until he is removed from the loan from the finance company. The finance company is telling me that I need to refinance the vehicle and take on a new loan myself.
O.K. sounds easy enough. Right?
Well, I am trying to refinance the vehicle and nobody will take it until DMV removes him from the registration.
So DMV will not remove him until the finance company does, and the finance company wont remove him until DMV does.
Big problem!
It seems that the only choice I have is to continue paying the loan and keeping him on there as an owner. Once the loan is paid off, I can go to DMV and have him removed.
Now my question is how do I protect myself from my ex just coming over and driving off with the vehicle. Assuming that he has as much legal right to this vehicle then I do.
Is there a way for me to legally take over ownership of the vehicle without being able to contact him? Assuming he has just abandoned the vehicle? At least for now.
Do I as the co-signer have more legal right to the vehicle then he does? What can I do to remove his rights to the vehicle at this point?
