Easy man, I was just curious...
How long into having the truck did you lose your job?
I'm assuming it was like within a month or so...

 

Sounds like a lack of resposibility to me that has been going on awhile now. Being deployed at a moments notice is no excuse for non-payment, as a service member you are told to keep your finances in order and have a plan for deployments. You are telling me that in 13 months you never called anyone? Nobody you could call or assist you, not even your version of a 1st Sgt.? I really doubt that!! What about a power of attorney that you are recommended to have? The Soldiers and Sailors Relief act protects you from these things, if you TRY, which is the key issue. Or did you sign up for the reserves not expecting to do or go anywhere? You were deployed for 13 months as a reservists? Hard to believe. This is from my 18 years as a reservist and having been deployed. Don't whine to me.

 

3. You get a bonus at wprk and instead of telling your wife, you go blow it at a strip club.

I personally would not call that stealing. If it is a bonus, then spend it how you want it, but bills come first.

BobbyL,


I am sorry you got your truck taken back, but that is life. I went through something simular, however it was not due to me not paying. My step father was on the title to my truck, which I have never missed a payment on, and was going to file bankruptsy. Well the courts said he had to sell all of his vehicle but one. That included the one that I was paying for. I am in the Army, and my truck payment comes oout of my check before I even get it, so I had to go to my finance office and get copies of all of my pay vouchers showing that I amde the payments and not him. Well he died in September and the one truck they were allowed to keep was getting repoed and the guy came up to my mother and told her he was taking it. It is the law in most states that a Repo Man has to notify you that he is taking the truck first. Judging by your attitude towards this all, they notified you, and you did not cooperate with them resulting in then having to use less than friendly means to get their property back. A car loan is not like a utility bill where as long as you send them something they will let you keep it. Utility bills are like this because they are need to survive. god gave you two legs, use them. Evidently if the trnas is broke and you have only had the truck 4 months you bought a piece of $hi!. So it is best to let them take it back. You can at least do the honorable thing and return it to the dealership yourself

 

Ok knucklehead. First off I was active duty. Secondly while you may be too young to remember in 1990-1991 there was a war on. I was deployed to do tactical law enforcement while attached to the U.S. Navy. Exact details are still classified to this day but suffice it to say I had no contact with anyone back home. As you have aptly demonstrated hindsight is 20/20. If only I was as brilliant as you then maybe I wouldn't be in this predicament.

 

This kind of stuff ALWAYS ends up having personal attacks attached to it.
Right from the very start this thread had personal attacks coming written all over it.
I commend those users who didn't resort to name-calling through this entire discussion

Now something has to happen here before it escalates.


Personally, I would just keep some things to myself.
