vehicle repossessed by gmac for non-payment September 22, 2006 (date +/- 3 days)after customer tried to negotiate lower payments due to pending disability case
gmac refused
vehicle sold at auction
gmac demanding payment of remaining balance
problems not with Saturn company but with gmac
Saturn manager mark is outstanding
I am unable to finance any new vehicle at this time pending post traumatic stress disorder disability appeal
still require vehicle to transport elementary age child diagnosed with tourette syndrome/attention deficit hyperactive disorder to medical appointments and pets to veterinarian
unable to afford attorney for legal action
was gmac reason for repossesion really for nonpayment or to hide Ion problems? my opinion: gmac used situation to protect themselves
thank you.
