YESTERDAY MY BROTHER RECEIVED A CALL FROM THIS NUMBER, INQUIRING ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL THAT HE HAD NO CLUE ABOUT. WE LIVE IN TEXAS AND THEY WERE INQUIRING ABOUT AN INDIVIDUAL WHO LIVES IN FL. MY BROTHER HAS NOT LIVED IN FL FOR 19 YEARS, SO WHAT'S WITH THIS INDIVIDUAL FROM FL THAT FORD IS INQUIRING ABOUT. HOPE WE DON'T START GETTING CREIDT CALLS FOR THIS INIDIVUAL WHO APPARENTLY, (SO THEY SAY!), LISTED MY BROTHER AS A REFERENCE. I THINK THIS IS ALL SO BOGUS.
Called and left message about me needing to call them. Who are you and what do you want? They left name and number to call back and said it was urgent that I call back in the next 3 hours, OR WHAT? AAA do you work for Ford Motor Credit? Why are you defending these abusive calls?
A woman calling herself "Tiffany" calls our company looking for one of our employees every now and again. Apparently, they have long since repo'd this person's car, but they keep calling. I feel pretty badly for our employee considering they've been having to use a company vehicle for months now as their only transportation. Because of the economy and the fact that this person is paid on commission only, this person is having a hard time paying for all the basics and is getting calls constantly. The way I look at it, Ford Motor Credit has already repo'd the vehicle and sold it at auction months ago. While I understand that our employee is still responsible for whatever the difference is when all is said and done, these loans still have protection built in and it is paid up front when someone finances a vehicle - it is a loss protection for the financing company in case the person defaults on the loan. Essentially, the Ford Motor Credit has already received money from the protection plan, the auction and they can also claim whatever difference in money leftover (if there is any) as a loss with the IRS and get a break that way on top of it all. I understand that this person is responsible for their bills and I agree that they should have to take the responsibility of paying what is still owed, but if they don't have it, they simply don't have it and it's not as though Ford Motor Credit has lost any money on it in the long run - they just didn't get as much of a profit as they had expected on that particular loan. It's just a sad situation with the economy all the way around...
Update: We are now getting calls on a daily basis this week from different people from this number looking to speak with our employee - I wish that they would stop tying up our business phone and just call the employee on their personal line...
I thought Ford was a good company that respects American but I guess that I am wrong. I keep getting calls on my cell for the person that previously had the number. I have asked Ford to remove my number for the last 8 months and they will not confirm that they will and continue to call me. They could not even find the person that they are calling in their system, which makes this pure harassment.
