HARTE CHEVROLTE Dealership  - they commited fraud, forgery and GOT AWAY WITH IT. AND GEORGE HARTE NISSAN WEST HAVEN, CT

When I went for a car with them FICO was 802 ending in BK.  

I leased a 1999 with Harte Chev in Meridan CT, they took THREE 3 GMAC Smart Leases for the ONE CAR. Back in 1999, we as consumers were not privlaged to freecreditreport.com ect as we are today. It wasent until 9 months after leased car was returned until it was discovered by GMAC. I was paying $354 lease to GMAC monthly, and getting calls, notices from GMAC stating I was late and so on. I would fax my cancelled checks and show proof of payment. I even so much as drove to GMAC at Rocky Hill with proof of payments during entire lease. GMAC, never thought to check out account numbers, nor did I. Myself nor GMAC did not discover until 9 months after car lease was over. GMAC thought a mere 2 sentance letter and vaugest letter of appology and 0 my balances was sufficiant to the FRAUDED CONSUMER. They refused to rectify the situation and fix my credit report by taking them off and updating accordingly. They said the zero balaces will enhance my credit, they sai they could not deleate the fruadulant 2 accounts.

HARTE,egar to continue carrying on the fraud, they called me thru lease to inquire when I was trading in.  In December 2001, they talked me into returning to them at HARTE.  When I got there, they old me my credit went (south) ect... AFTER THEY PROCESSED THE INTAKE OF MY LEASED CAR, HENCE I WOULD HAVE WALKED OUT ON FOOT.  Instilling the fear of public transportation, I paniced.  They then sold me a 1999 Isuzu Rodeo (2 years old).  They jacked up the price sold me every ins. from tran to gap ect... and thanks to thier first fraud of leases, my creidt score was at about 600 DUE TO THE GMAC MESS THEY MADE.

9 mos later fall 2002, both GMAC and myself discovered the above. I then went to trade in my car as intrest was too high @ 18%, I was upsidedown in loan 10K.

HARTE SOLD ME A CAR WITH NON MSATCHING VIN# AND I WAS INFORMED BY THE NEW DEALER WHERE I WAS TRYING TO TRADE the ISUZU THAT MY VIN ON ISUZU DID NOT MATCH DECSCIPTION FINACED BY AMERICREDT (WHO WAS MY FINACE COMP).  

AMERICREDIT WAS SUPPOSED TO BY LAW VERIFY CAR PURCHASE WITH ME, THEY DID NOT. Again I FOUND THAT HARTE CHEVROLETE prospered on fraud.

I tried to get Americredit to repro, they did not want to touch it, they were helpful until they discovered they were negligent. There I was stuck with a car w/out title, huge car payments with not proper vin, could not sell trade ect... I CALLED A LAWYER IN HARTFORD CT ATTORNEY DANIEL BLINN who stated he was going to charge me more than case was worth.

I FILED FOR BK in 2004.  Its been 2 years, since discharged. STILL suffing with high interest rate and fighting my back!

BUYERS BEWARE of HARTE DEALERSHIPS in CT, AMERICREDIT and proper vins with cars you buy, and lawyers who claim to be consumer protection lawyers who fear bug name law suits. I filed a complain with the States Attorneys office I know this was CRIMINAL. Never heard nothing from them. HARTE DISTROYED my 802 FICO and its taking 8 years to recover and till not there yet!

STAY AWAY FROM HARTE STAY AWAY STAY AWAY!!!!!!

After 2 weeks of my new car purchase research, I was horrified thinking back. I decided that I should warn others.
Distressed  

Wow. Thanks for sharing, Rippedoff.
