Republic Finance

I am filing this for my mother who is deaf and was a victim of an online scam. As a result she was directed to go take out loans. She went in to Advance was given a loan and sold a car club membership along with life insurance. Because she is deaf, she needs to have an interpreter with her so she is fully aware of what she signed. She had no idea what she signed up for. She knew she was getting a loan but didn't realize that the rates were high and that she signed up for other stuff. She doesn't fully comprehend all she reads.

I feel not only did they give her a loan but took advantage of her being deaf by having her sign up for other stuff she didn't not need. I know there is a law that protects those who are not totally competent. I am not saying she doesn't understand a lot but I can hear and I sometimes need someone to explain something to me. I am pretty sure if they did explain it wasn't in sign language. What is there to protect our deaf community from these loan companies selling them all kinds of stuff that they do not require? She overpaid in fees for services she didn't need.

They have been billing me wrong for over six months and I have called twenty times to get a reply but no call back. When I reach Scott or Dave, they tell me that they will take care of the problem, but they never do. I have over-spent on these bills long enough and I still have a broken dumpster that they were to fix six months ago. Please help.

I have asked this company not to call my place of employment in the past. I have requested with the manager Shawn, that they not call me at work. They continue to harass me on my job. If I lose my job I cannot pay anyway. There is only one payment due each time this happens. She has made threats that the way I understand it you cannot threaten me unless she fully intends to carry out the threat to pick up my security or sue me. She has an attitude with me every time she calls. I want the calls at work to stop immediately. If they so wish to file on the account then do so and not keep threatening to take action or harass me on my job. I have paid a payment in the past and she called me the next day wanting it again. This time I left message on their phone returning their call and she still called me today, 6/24/2010, about the one payment.
