Regarding someone’s question on Route 66 Funding: Avoid these guys like the plague! They are SCUM – SCUM – SCUM!! I have never taken out a loan with them, but one of my wife’s former co-workers did, and after the experience she and her associates had, I would gladly eat worms before I would borrow the price of a Big Mac from these jackals. Here’s what happened;
A gal my wife worked with apparently took out a loan with Route 66 Funding. After a time, she left the company without leaving any forwarding information. After she had been gone for over a year the shop began getting calls from R66 regarding her apparently delinquent account. (No one currently in the shop had ever heard of this company before) They explained to them that she was no longer working there and they could not help locate her. The representatives, who spoke only fair English, at once became even nastier, saying their “Co-operation was mandatory†and told those employees who had identified themselves by their first names that they were also listed as co-signers and were therefore liable for the debt. They told the callers to stop insulting their intelligence as they had never signed anything and didn’t even know their last names, upon which they were told; “It was a verbal phone agreement and we have recordings of your voice to use in court! You will be getting legal papers!†and promptly hung up. (Puleeeze!) Needless to say, no papers ever arrived, but the calls, threats and harassment persisted until management intervened with a Cease-And-Desist order, a complaint to the FTC and basically informed R66 they would be sued into destitution if they ever heard from them again. The vermin gave up and backed off after that. The ironic part is two weeks later, they did get a visit from the former employee, but Satan will be skiing to work by the time R66 hears about it!
