The same experience as many others on here. payment was late by 10 days..the calls come at a rate of 5 or 6 per day. The people are rude, and don't have the facts in front of them before they start shooting off thier mouth. Had the nerve to ask for the next months payment on top of the late one...and it wasn't even due yet. I will NEVER do business with them again...I would like to see this company out of business.

technically, the administrator of the estate is not responsible for any outstanding bills, the estate, if there is one, is responsible for the bills. if there is no estate, noone is responsible for the bills. if there is insurance money, if there is no will to delegate where the money is to go, then the money goes to the beneficiary and it is up to the beneficiary to decide what to do with that money.

This number keeps calling and leaving a message for Rick and Janet.  Have no idea who these people are but they must have given Drive Financial our number.  I told them the first time they called that no one by either names lives here and we don't know them.  The second time they called (4 hours later) I told them they have the wrong number and if they don't believe me look it up, its a listed number.  Dumb%#@!!!

Here's the answer to all our prayers.  Telemarketers almost exclusively use "autodialers" to make their calls.  One out of a thousand will have live reps doing the dialing.  When these dialers connect (you answer the phone) they listen for any "tones" generated.  If no "tones" are detected they then transfer the call to one of the reps in a call center.  "IF" the autodialer hears the 3 beeps from dialing a "DISCONNECTED" number, the number that was just dialed is automatically "REMOVED" from their list.  Below is a link that has this "tone" plus the verbal message.  You DO NOT need the verbal message.  Download or copy the "DISCONNECTED" MP3 or WAV file to your desktop.  Create or change the greeting you have when someone calls you and you're not available.  At the VERY
BEGINNING of your message place the 3 tones (NOT THE VOICE MESSAGE) then continue with your usual or normal greeting.  The autodialer will hear the tones and BINGO, your number will be removed since they think it's a disconnected number.  DONE.  In a few weeks you will be removed from all the lists.  Of course you may have to explain the tones to the callers you DO want to speak to but that's a small tradeoff.  Pass this info on to anyone you know that gets junk calls or even help post this on these websites.  If you continue getting calls after reading this, it's your "OWN" fault!  END JUNK CALLS.

Nowitall: Im sorry that you are so frustrated. It sounds like youre not getting the help you need. No need to be negative to posters who are trying to help you. In MOST states, even the widow is NOT responsible for the deceased husbands bills if her name is not on them. If you live in the joint property law states usually, the bills in the name of the deceased are not put as a burden upon the family. You may need to take a closer look at the laws rather than listen to the bill collectors.

You do not know Squat!!! (Knowitall)
Get a legal degree before giving legal advise, unless you happen to be in jail and if so; I can understand.

They bought over 150,000 loans from Citi Financial and several of them were not delinquent..many like mine were never even late.

Get over yourself.  Regardless of the bills, NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO THREATEN HER LIKE THEY DID.  IT IS AGAINST THE LAW..

Also, your company has purchased loans from other lenders, not notified the borrower, changed the due date and not told the borrower...and 1 day late, the calls are incessent.  My payment date was changed to the 1st of the month.  I explained repeatedly that my 27th pay date was perfect because I could make my car payment with the second check of the month; however, Santandar/Drive states that they can't change the payment date.  They can do whatever they please.  So, I will pay my car loan payment TODAY because that is when I can pay it; they have called my phone number over 52 times in the past 27 days.  No messages.

Kiss my butt!

Just heard the supreme court says you can sue in Federal Court as well as state court for harassment from these types of business's.

You should reclaim your tuition from law school, but then you probably lack a GED

if the bills are credit cards and not in your name, you are not responsible for.  If  your husband had any insurance money, that money would be used to pay these bills.  I have gone through all this in Tennessee.

Wow...you know nothing about death and bills. Just because someone passes DOES NOT mean you are free and clear of the bills. Read a law nook or even Google it. The estate holder, i.e. the wife in this case, is responsible for paying the remainder of the account holder's balance. Don't mouth off if you don't know what you're talking about. Makes you sound idiotic.

Called me and didn't leave a message. Tired of no.s calling me and doing this no messages or very rude messages.

Unfortunately, I was with Citifinancial Auto and my loan got sold to Santander USA.  If you are 1 day late with their payment they will call you all day long.  I have learn to ignore them and not answer the phone they do not have any other numbers and will never get another number from me.  These people are terrible.  I will never make the mistake of call them from any number.  I will have my car paid off by the end of the year (2012) and will happily tell them sob's where they can go.

Actually that is not true , I have called them twice and notified them that I was going to be late, and they did mark their computer and still call..................

My loan was bought by them as well.  It's a horrible company.  Just make sure that you stick to your orginal loan agreement because they have to go by that until they pass the time on it.  That is when they can really start to mess with you.  I only have a few months left on my loan and you better bet I will be paying it off a month before it's due.

This is the 5th different phone number they have called me from.  They never leave a message and I look them up here and everybody says its Drive Financial. I have no knowledge of these people and have never done any business with them and this is simple harassment and stupidity on their part.  I hope they go bankrupt.

There are also state laws that they have to follow too. You might want to look into that as well.

Not ture that is consider harassment and they can be reported for that. You might want to double check your facts.

Count me in and where do i sign up? I have had it with them!!!! They are mean, ruid, harrassing AND DO NOT STOP!!!!! They have even went to as far as having me in tears begging them not to take my car over the phone telling me well if I cant pay this amount today that I just need to surrender my car to them. When I just gave them a $390.00payment less then a month ago.

lol you are so right about them..  They don't speak English very well at all

its Drivers Financial/Santander Consumer collections

Next time you call, have them remove the numbers you don't want them to call ( tell them that is no longer your number) only give them a cell number. Tell them DO NOT call the other numbers, those are no longer my numbers.

Santan also purchased HSBC

Just hang up on them, and if your husband has passed - you don't have to pay for those bills!

Me and My husband had a loan with GEMB lending also, We started receiving calls from Santander and bills saying we owed them 4 to 6 hundred dollors. I finally called them and asked them who they where. They said they own our loan from GEMB lending. we had no idea it changed hands. was not informed by GEMB lending of this change and was NOT behind in our note! And now Santander says we are behind two months and we inform them we are not. We make our payments reg as we should but they continue to call everyday from 3 or 4 different numbers! and it is not just once but sometimes 6 to 8 times i am sick of this!!! and from 7:00am to 9:30 pm it is awful how do I get this to stop anyone have any ideas???

I started getting calls from this number. I don't have a vehicle financed through them. I get calls every 2 hours, even in the middle of the night! 2 am 4 am.. Its nuts. No one ever on line either...

You keep calling my phone looking for Gilber Montes. I do NOT talk or SEE him. So PLEASE stop calling my phone.

my truck also got repo this year due to high gas... i was using more then 100 a week n gas to go help take care of my sister who end up dying of cancer n March..so I didn't have the 400 to make truck note.. due to other bills too... so yes the gas can cause that when u have things u don't deal with every day... but if i had to do it again.. i would my sister was more important at the time
