Question about ford motor credit calling
Date: Fri, 03/23/2007 - 13:02
Her roomate's sister just got a call from Ford Motor Credit regarding my sister's roomate. They were looking for him and asked his sister if she was related to him and how they could reach him. She took down the phone number and called my sister's roomate.
He's never had a car loan, or even a credit card. He just checked his credit report the other week and there's nothing on it. A few years ago he "rented" a car from a friend of his. The car was in her name, but he paid her money each month to use it. This person got diagnosed with some sort of advanced cancer and my sister's roomate lost track of her. But he didn't keep the car, he gave it back.
When ford called his sister they mentioned the car. When my sister's roomate called them back, they couldn't find anything in their system about him.
Since the car isn't his, nothing has ever been in his name, why would ford motor credit possibly be calling people looking for him? I can't think of anything that it could be . . . . .

She says the number they gave his sister to call them back at is the same number listed on Ford Motor credits website. I'm wondering if since he gave them his name when he called them back that the info is under the lady that owned the car, but has died's name.
But I still can't figure out why ford would contact him. If he wasn't named on the loan, how would ford even know who he was?

But she didn't meet him until a year after she bought the car, so it wouldn't have been on the original paperwork for the loan. And if he was listed as an additional driver, wouldn't that be with the insurance company?

Me too . . . . I told my sis to tell him to call back and ask them to look under the lady's account. When he called them he just gave them his name, and they couldn't find anything.

Perhaps he has been blamed for some damage to the car, and FMC is attempting to recover the monetary value??? IDK, just a thought.
Or maybe they're calling to see if he wants to buy that car???
