Hopefully the f2f cheerleaders can explain this... I hope this photo wasn't taken during BBB's "blindness episode"....

 

Many moons ago, I once pulled for real good outfit, the old man died and his son and his "staff" mismanaged (not intentionally) it into the ground, slowly but surely, until they closed the doors....The thing was, I rode for the brand.....When the old man ran it, we were treated and paid well...He was honest and we knew were we stood, no secrets & no BS....Even after the son took the reins and things started going south, we all still stood by him anyway and helped out until the end, as we figured to collectively help him give this our best shot and try to turn it around....Unfortunately, it failed and we all then moved on.....We didn't "bad mouth" the company though, as we knew he was trying to do the best he could, but he just didn't have the old man's business savvy.....In life, that's just the way it rolls sometimes....I also learned early on not to put all my eggs in one basket, as I had other work going on also....I also lived frugally, just getting what I needed, not alI I wanted....

Now, I'm not down there in TN and pulling for F2F, heck, I don't even know the man personally, but from what I read, Bill's trying his best to get "your" business solvent again, and he's explained in other posts what's going on....Will he pull it off, I don't know, but I sure hope so.....

Sometimes, a man's character gets tested when the going gets tough, and it's then his true colors come out....Just consider this from an old man who's old school, maybe bad mouthing "your" company and kicking a man when he's down is not the best approach.....

 

That's good logic but when do you draw the line? When you see pics posted of the man driving a Benz and out dancing at a bar? Are they supposed to keep feeding the check writer with no checks being written?

I got no skin in this one but I would be upset to see someone driving a Benz that owes me paper... I'm chasing it like everyone else... Ya or no?

 

@clausland Thank you so much for that post. Been working all weekend, tired and you would think that negative post from people that can't even use their real name and likely never leased to us shouldn't wear on you but it is frustrating.

Your words have helped put my mind back on a positive track.

Thank you Sir.

 

He's the boss; he can drive what he wants to; it's irrelevant.

 

So the lesson here. Consider the character of the person you are getting information from.

That "new" car is a 2008 that we bought several years ago. Long before we had any financial issues. I am guessing no one would say a word if we had a leased 2013 Honda.

Any parties you may have seen are likely with F2F partners and all before any issues.

If while this was happening we had been living high on the hog then the real people that are posting here would call us out first before any of the anonymous posters could finish creating a new email account to use with their new TTR account.

Most that are posting that many here can put a name to haven't just talked to me about issues but they have come and sat down across from me at the office. They talk to the staff on a regular basis. They know what is really happening.

 

I was going to say that I would love to be driving a new Benz but the 9-year old one with 70k miles is running great and is paid for. If we had car payments, boat payments, big fancy house, credit card debt, etc. We would have been toast last year.

 

You are so full of yourself it's funny. You're desperate to keep the cash flowing... Also tell us why your factor called the note?? Bad audit maybe???

 

I've always respected your post, not to say I don't now but I can't imagine a conspiracy theory against your company all the sudden...

If times was bright and peachy with F2F I really don't think these random posters would be showing up... I'm sure through their research in your company after the fact that you owe them lots of money, they have come across this site...

I can say that anyone in your shoes without a doubt would be here defending the company they built...

What are your plans to get these folks the money owed to them? If you owe me 5k, why should I have to wait?

I don't know the year of your car but I know a luxury vehicle generally requires high grade gas and insurance, regardless most people budgeting money don't drive Mercedes regardless of year...

I hope you get it together,best wishes sir.

 

You mean the year old photo from when spot market was booming and he was covering OUR tabs with our own money and a car as old as my high school diploma?
