From Ohio: I also have a manufactured home. My first representative was a woman and was rude and very hard to deal with, I then had a new representative who was very sympathetic due to me being disabled with stress related problems, HBP, MS, Strokes and I am only 54, my husband was laid off so the rep had me get 30 days late and then deferred my payments for 3 months to get caught up on my bills. Winter came and my husband still was not back to work and I was 4 days late, I know I have no grace period, but she did not identify herself and after threatening me for payment I was feeling my BP rise so I hung up, she called the next day and my husband answered the phone and once again she did not identify herself just that she was a debt collector and started in on him. So I wrote a letter to the finance Company telling them that it is clearly noted in their computer of my medical problems and not to get me upset, I told them about her not identifying herself and that due to my medical condition they were to cease and desist calling me immediately, a woman in FL died after a mortgage company called harassing her and her family sued and won. THEY are all aware of that possibility, THEY HAVE TO IDENTIFY themselves. They can talk to you or leave a message one time a day.I received a letter back and they said they would no longer call me, as soon as they investigate the situation action will be taken among the appropriate people. So now I have to be late 30 days once again in order to get a deferrment again. The woman I am working with says to notify her if anyone else contacts me besides her. I own several acres with no lean on the property but the Manufactured home is not sitting on a foundation and has a title. I have even at one time told them to come get it, we have had nothing but trouble with the house since we bought it. I pay Manufactured home taxes and property taxes separately. In this economy my credit is already shot so a repossesion on this MH home is not a real problem to me, I will sell the real property and buy a real house, the trailer I traded in for $8,000 was better built than this home.
