They just called me on a number i've only had for a week. It's not even in my name. I don't know where Drive
Financial got my number. absolute crap. They have called every day for 18 days.
I"ll have you know. I drive 540 miles a week to work and to take my child to school 30 miles away in Jacksonville. When gas was close to $4.35 per gallon, I was spending more on gas than my car. My SUV gets 19 miles per gallon, so that means I was spending almost $125 per week, not to count driving to stores and the post office and pharmacy. During those couple of months, I was spending almost $500 a month on gas, in addition to an increase in groceries of about 20 percent over the two months. My car payment is $350 a month,and I could guess my gas bill was about $550 a month. My elderly Mother, who is 84, wasn't doing well in North Carolina, and the trip driving would have cost almost $225 in gas. My mother in law passed away in November and we couldn't afford the trip to go see her when she wasn't doing well. it is sad that high gas prices make you make decision like that. We are a teacher and social worker, on average salaries, and had to give up one car as we couldn't afford gas for both. So car payment, gas payment, car insurance and groceries alone those two months cost us over $1350, before adding any other bills. Oh add mortgage and we are over 2100. Wonder why we couldn't pay our credit card bills those two months? Also, we make decent money, are not bums, pay our bills on time and had improved our credit, but it all went out the window. Our beacon score has dropped from over 700 to 510 in just those two months.
Also try that Drive charges 21 percent on cr interest. My credit isn't bad, just not great, so that is who they put me with.If you are late, they charge you 47.50 a day. They informed me that I would be the rest of my loan catching up becuase of the late charges and the fact that interest was accruing faster than I was paying my car off. I will end up the loan, having missed only two payments over the life, and still owing a final payment of $1500 they told me becuase of collection costs, late fees and accrued interest.They amount to a predatory lender. I wish people who make comments negatively could walk in someone elses shows before speaking. Ask the state of Florida to take an interest in their teachers and social workers, and pay us more so we don't struggle. Our pay raised were canceled last year and again this year due to state budget. Think that inflation should be canceled to? How are we to keep up? My husband has had to get a second job and I'm writing online two hours a night just to keep up with the bills. This is ridiculous.
They are most likely calling you because somebody wrote you down as a reference and just never told you. They are quite annoying and relentless.... I would just tell them to remove you from the calling list and you don't wish to be contacted on that account any more.
