Not that I am a fan of the guy, and he is a first class arrogant douchebag- but Tom Martino may be of some help in this case.
Certainly worth a phone call.

Agreed. It'd make great press for him so he'd be more likely to help you.Quote:

My guess is won't be interested. He likes to interview the person wronged, gather evidence, and approach the offender.
My situation won't let him do any of those things. He isn't gonna come to AK, the bank isn't giving me anything to give him, and it's not like he could just walk up to somebody handling this at Bellco.
If Bellco had provided paperwork that they were repossessing the vehicle based on me owing 4K on "x" account and I could provide paperwork to disprove that, than maybe........ But if I had that I could also fight Bellco in a dozen other ways too.
edit... emailed TM the story and provided callback number.
One thought (not a lawyer, so this may be totally unrealistic) would be to file a lawsuit against Bellco for attempted theft/wrongful repo, subpeona all of the documentation, including email and phone records to see what employee/manager authorized it (e.g. - if repo co only has limited info, then find out where the call originated), then sue them personally as well....would probably get it cleared up, jam up those shitheads a bit (I hate Bellco, but that's another story), and jam up the individual shithead that authorized it...side benefit would be that full timeline, including payoff evidence, would then be on record.....Also, if a lawsuit against them got any traction, it may be picked up by the media (because fuck them) and no need to rely on someone like TM for that....

While that sounds great, not sure what grounds a could file a lawsuit. Remember, Bellco has talked a lot about 4K dollars, but has yet to even insinuate that I owe them any money. They have said they are owed the money, but have not actually pinned it on me. If they said I owed them money, I could at least get an account number that that dollar amount is tied to, and begin fighting them knowing what I'm swinging at.Quote:

Agree. He actually helped me out on car-deal gone wrong with Gateway CU in Aurora. If not him maybe some other tv news "investigative" reporter.Quote:

I never had any plans to leave, this place is great. If I ever do leave, it will be a short trip somewhere like Hawaii, not to Colorado to deal with Bellco.Quote:

You can't sue the repo company- they will be operating under a hold harmless agreement with the bank. Especially since they walked away when you presented your case. What wrong did they do? Nothing.
