If you kids don't quit fighting I'm going to turn around and go home. Tophat is right about contracts being for both parties, but given the slim profit margins in our business (around 7 percent) it's not surprising that people will resort to nefarious tactics in the name of the almighty dollar.

I have asked admin to take me out of here, along with my posts, so as soon as that gets done, I'll be out of here. My week has been bad enough.

What can I say....when you're right; you're right!

I joined this Forum more than 7 years ago. And for 7 years I have tried, and tried, and tried (as well as countless other members) to steer people away from ALL Lease/Purchase plans.
Nobody listens! I don't know what it is? I can only guess that everyone tends to think "they can make it work", or "that won't happen to me", or even "I've got a good business sense, I should be o.k."? I have no idea---but very, very, very few heed our advice and/or the countless thousands of threads and posts on the subject; and go ahead with it, and fail.

Just like MACK E-6 said (who has been a member here for 3 years longer than me):

Together just the two of us have over 17 years experience on these boards...and (depending on MACK's experience) nearly half a century in the industry. Why people continue to constantly ignore our advice is beyond me...and mind boggling.

Neither one of us (nor any other member as far as that goes) has a 'dog in your fight', and your success or failure does not affect our personal life in any way---yet we keep trying, and trying to warn people. Why? I have no clue. There is no satisfaction in it, and certainly no reward.

Your being mad is completely understandable...but I think you are mad at the wrong person. You need to be mad at YOU, not the company that you chose to rip you off, not the industry that you chose to become part of, but the one and only person that is 100% responsible for getting you in your situation---YOU.

I said it in another thread (and I meant it)...I am done trying to discourage people from entering into a Lease/Purchase program; it's a waste of time and effort. But I will NEVER be done telling all the failures "I told you so"...because, for some sadistic reason, I have become to find enjoyment in that.
Everyone has the same opportunity to come to this Forum and type "Lease/Purchase" in the search feature (found at the top of any and all pages)---and read the search results for hours, days, weeks, and even months---and if they STILL decide to join a Lease/Purchase; in my opinion, they get what they deserve.

Now; go get yourself a COMPANY DRIVER position, or get completely out of the industry---clean up your credit---and move the hell on with your life. The damage is done, and you did it to yourself.

That's about the nastiest reply I've ever heard. When you enter into a written contract with a company, you expect both parties, not just one, to follow that contract. Obviously if I had known this would happen I would have never entered into this stupid lop-sided agreement. But what is done is done and I am moving on with my life. So why don't you leave me alone and go ##### at someone else for making the same mistake. I GOT IT - JUST TRYING TO WARN OTHERS. I'LL SHUT THE HELL UP IF YOU WILL!!!!!!!!!!

If you thought that reply was nasty I'm guessing you probably wouldn't like mine.
