He had to Uber to and from a bank to pay cash. I'm sure they are using some loophole to avoid abiding the law, but what a crappy company. They know they can take advantage of students and they do. I definitely wouldn't recommend using this company if you ever needed help. Also, if you are a victim to this company, I would suggest reporting them to the Public Service Commission of West Virginia and the WV Attorney General's Consumer Protection Division for not accepting debit cards.

Two weeks later I took the car to my mechanic at home in southern WV and he told me the belt needed changed. I told him it was changed a couple weeks ago and he told me there is no way it was changed. I went back to Joe Moore's and they didn't remember me. I asked the guy behind the desk to look at my belt and see if it needed changed...he said yes it looks worn. I showed him the receipt where they said they put a new one on two weeks ago and he changed his tune to "well it might not be that bad its just worn on the outside from the pulleys....". Never had a repair shop so blatantly lie to my face!!

Reports suggest certain Car Dealers in WV may engage in deceptive practices, including bait-and-switch tactics, changing signed contract terms (like adding thousands in fees/warranties), failing to provide documents, withholding crucial info (like EV tax credits), and hostile customer service, leading to customer complaints filed with the BBB and online reviews highlighting fraud allegations, requiring vigilance and documentation for buyers. Common Allegations & Tactics: Bait-and-Switch: Agreeing on a price, then dramatically increasing it after hours of paperwork. Contract Tampering: Adding undisclosed fees or expensive warranties after signing. Failure to Disclose: Not informing buyers about potential tax credits or warranty details. No Paperwork: Withholding signed contracts, making it hard to verify terms later. Misleading Financing: Inflating financed amounts or misapplying credits. Hostile Treatment: Becoming aggressive or unhelpful when issues arise. What to Do If You Encounter This: Document Everything: Keep all emails, texts, photos, and notes from conversations (dates, names, times). Review Contracts Carefully: Check for hidden fees, APR, and total cost before signing. File Complaints: Report issues to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and the West Virginia Attorney General's Office. Seek Legal Advice: Contact a consumer protection lawyer if you've lost money. Be Wary: Be cautious if a deal seems too good or if staff pressure you to sign quickly. Key Takeaway: Consumers report a pattern of potentially fraudulent dealings, emphasizing the need for extreme caution and thorough due diligence. "Kicking the car" (or "kicking the trade") is an unethical, high-risk sales tactic where a dealership advises a consumer to abandon their current, "upside-down" car loan (meaning they owe more than the car is worth) by stopping payments or allowing the lender to repossess it. The goal for the dealership is to facilitate a new sale by removing the old, problematic loan from the negotiation, often without disclosing the severe long-term financial consequences to the buyer. Key Aspects and Consequences of "Kicking" the Car Definition: It is a form of encouraging a voluntary repossession. The salesperson suggests that the buyer simply stop making payments on their old car to allow the lender to seize it, rather than rolling the negative equity into a new loan. The "Deficiency Balance" Trap: Contrary to what some salespeople may imply, abandoning the car does not erase the debt. The lender will sell the vehicle at auction, and the buyer is still responsible for the "deficiency"--the difference between the remaining loan balance and the sale price, plus fees. Credit Destruction: This action results in a significant negative mark on credit reports, potentially lowering scores by 100 points or more, and remains for up to seven years. Potential Legal Issues: Some industry experts consider this advice a form of fraud against lenders, as it involves intentionally defaulting on a loan to obtain new credit. Prevalence: While the National Automobile Dealers Association (NADA) states this is not common, consumer lawyers have reported an increase in these cases. Why Dealerships Suggest This Dealers use this tactic to make a deal happen when a customer is "buried" in negative equity and cannot afford to roll that debt into a new, higher-priced loan. It allows them to close a sale with a buyer who would otherwise not qualify for financing. Better Alternatives Instead of "kicking the trade," consumers are advised to: Wait and Pay Down the Loan: Continue making payments until the loan-to-value ratio is better. Sell the Car Privately: This usually fetches a better price than a dealer trade-in or auction. Refinance: Attempt to lower the interest rate and payment. Check for Gap Insurance: If the car was totaled, gap insurance covers the difference between the car's value and the loan amount. Potential Legal Issues: Some experts suggest this tactic may be illegal, as it can be interpreted as defrauding lenders by lying about indebtedness to fraudulently obtain new credit. So Essentially they are submitting fraudulent loan application that they are aware of a potential repossession or surrender that they encouraged so they can make a sale. Therefore defrauding lenders.
