Complaint narrative:
I have had this ongoing issue for over a year now they have a tracking device on the vehicle and they keep shooting the battery to disable the car when I 'm driving it when I leave the house I do n't know if I 'm gon na get home. They even did this to me one time when I was at a red light, also on XXXX/XXXX/XXXX they were attempting to do it while I was on the highway. I have asked to be put on monthly payments instead of every 2 weeks because I only get my sons social security check but they wo n't do it they know my situation yet they continue to call me XXXX to 4 times a day even after I attempt to make payments I was called today and a message was left your running out of time but I just paid 2 payments a week ago I 'm behind because they keep giving me extensions that they already know I ca n't do. This company is affiliated with XXXX which is my previous employer that I have a year long hair-raising workers comp case through which should be over soon and they know this they just want to further ruin my credit and my daughter who is my cosigner she also just went back to work from being out and have her own bills and ca n't pay mine. We are doing the best we can it is at the end and I do n't understand why they ca n't work with me. It 's bad enough I have other issues to deal with not having an income, health issues and XXXX and then I have to worry about them toying with the car calling me all day everyday and attempting to stall the car while I 'm driving they just do n't care they have no value for humanity If your office could assist in just trying to bring some justice to this situation I would greatly appreciate I know it all sounds dramatic and made up but trust with all that I 've been through I wish it was. They are going say we 'll we have been working with her yes to their advantage not mine the battery is so bad from them XXXX it everyday that acid builds up around it and we have to clean it or it wo n't start I have n't invested in a new one because they are just gon na ruin it anyway. This company is bridgecrest and my account number is XXXX and the vehicle is XXXX jeep liberty. They are also probably gon na deny XXXX the vehicle but I was told this when we purchased it and it is also in the contract that they could do this if payments are not received yet to the customer they say we are here to help but they did n't say they would harass or even try to kill by attempting to disable a vehicle while I 'm driving it and not allow you to pay monthly when they know your situation what does it look like to you? I have never had an experience with an auto loan like this I have 2 more months and my case should be ending hopefully I get enough money so that I can pay off the car and be done with them for good if they do n't try to take it first! Thank for your attention to this matter XXXX XXXX
