I recently paid off my truck with Bellco and have the title. I've been with them for over twenty years and they seemed fine for the first 10 years. They actually changed their credit union classification a while back. That is when they started expanding like crazy and sponsoring dumb shit. I've had quite a bit of credit card issues with them, every interaction is a pain in the ass. I switched and find the CapitolOne card has better cash back and online stuff is 10 times better. When I refinanced I checked their rates and they were terrible. If I weren't so lazy I switch to another bank. They suck. Though the people at my local branch are nice enough.
A number of years back a repo tried hooking up a neighbors car in the middle of the night...right outside their bedroom window. They ran out and started yelling bloody murder. According to them they bought the car outright. Never had a loan. The tow driver fled. Never showed any sort of paperwork. Never came back either. To this day I am pretty certain they were just trying to steal the car. The owners never called the police as they were here illegally.

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.

I'll see what I can do about contacting him on Monday.
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.
I'll hopefully know more when my attorney has time on Monday to look at this. She was a former client of mine in CO, and somewhat of a personal friend. I reached out to her because she specializes in bankruptcies, so I figured she knew her way around bank issues. She was the first to admit that this might be out of her league and she might have to refer me to someone else.
If your post count is higher than your round count, you are a troll.
