(as you should).

a judgement on your credit never goes away. in most any state, an order by a judge is permenent until satisfied and gives the injured party (the company) the right to garnish wages and affix leins to property. a guy who lives up the road from me had a lease purchase tractor, he turned it in a few months ago, and now, thanks to a judgement, gets $300. per week to live on, with the rest of his wage going to a court until the remaining $16,000.00 he would have had to pay is paid in full, plus interest and fees.

and he doesn't even have the truck. with a blown engine, the columbia he was "buying" isn't worth it anyway.

think about it. why would a company buy a truck to sell to somebody else when it's just as easy to put a driver in it? the answer is simple. they make money on the sale, have no maintenanace cost, and pay no taxes and benefits on the driver. they still maintain total control of the vehicle and hold title to it, but spend no money for taxes, insurance, tires, brakes, etc.. all of that is left to the moron who took the deal. a few of the more crooked companies out there will stop running a guy when he gets close to paying the thing off, and repo the truck if it's still in decent shape.

it happens all the time.

i did things different. i saved my money and bought mine outright. it ain't new, but it makes the same money as new. i hold the title, and nobody can come and get it. i also can, and will, tell dispatch "NO".

Talk to all the lease drivers you want, I've talked to plenty of them myself and I'll tell you right now, most of them haven't the brains to drive a truck, let alone own one. And before you go spouting off that Pheonix suckered them into it, not so. Pheonix tries to talk drivers out of leasing all the time, hell, I try to talk drivers out of leasing all the time. But they have to have that Pete, or the "freedom" to do what they want etc. etc.

P.S. Balloon payment is $1
