I needed a tire so I kept seeing the advertisement that Seasons Tire had on there windows. The advertisement showed that, Pay $50 down and get 4 new tires. I wanted a used tire because that was all that I could afford. The Guy told me that they didn't have any used tires but I could get 4 new tires plus rims.
I told the guy that I was on a fixed income and I probably couldn't afford the tires and rims. He stated that I could. He asked for all my information so I reluctantly gave it to him. He told me that he was going to take $40 out from my bank account but he will give it right back to me. In which he did. So after the ok I started signing papers.
I told the guy that I couldn't see that well and I didn't really know what I was agreeing to. He called his self explaining the agreements to me as I was signing. After the paper work was done, I asked him point blank how much would the monthly payments be. He said that the finance company gives everyone 2 years to pay.
So I told that guy that I was on a fixed income and all I received was $860 a month. So he told me $10 a month and as long as you had the full balance paid in 2 years. He told me that I should pay more each month so that I wouldn't have any problems at the end of 2 years. I receives my pension check on the 1st of the months.
So I checked my account on the 3rd and found out that that finance company that Seasons Tire had gotten for me had taken out $461 from my account instead of the $10 that I was told was my monthly charge. I went to Seasons Tire and the guy that told me those lies was at the desk. I told him what my problem was and he told me that he was tired of people coming in there telling him about our problems with the money situations.
That told me that he I wasn't the first one that they had screwed over. I will never trust another person telling me that they is telling me what I am signing. The guy told me that he didn't tell me anything about $10 or the free towing for 2 months. I am 71 years old and they took half of my money. To keep from getting a court case about doing something to that guy, I told him I am going to talk to a person at my bank.
The bank couldn't do anything about my money because it wasn't really a crime for what he done to me and others. But she suggested me closing that account and getting another one set up. So I did that but I had a lot of calling to do so everyone that is important to me knows that I have a different account number.
I am putting this Rip Off Report so they won't get caught up in the same situation that I have gone through with Seasons Tire located at 2971 E. 8 Mile Rd in Warren.
