BEWARE and BE VERY PROTECTIVE of your elderly loved ones!
A rep sold an HVAC to an old 85 year old (my family) who not only didn't understand but also hustled her into financing a system twice as much as it's worth. I can't understand why people take advantage of elderly people with no income, the inability to speak English and and having documents signed that are not in Spanish.
Once my family found out, we tried to resolve it immediately with the financing company who then informed us that not only did this sound like fraud, but that my family member was put on a financing plan (not given an option) that didn't benefit her at all (no deferred interest and a very high interest rate). VERY DISAPPOINTING.
We then called the owner Manny to discuss and come to a resolution that was fair for both parties. The owner was not understanding and insisted that my 85 year old family member consented to all despite the fact of his rep having her sign paperwork on his phone that she could not read. After two hours of negotiation, Many reduced the price by 1k (was 4k oversold) and was unwilling to budge. Even though it wasn't the outcome we wanted, it was agreed upon and many family members decided to pay it in full to prevent the extra interest fees and to be done with the dilemma. Many then stated that he needed to contact the financing company and get the new numbers in order to take a full payment and it should only take up to 24 hours. My family was hesitant due to the lack of a moral compass that both parties (rep and owner) have demonstrated in which we expressed. Manny then stated, you have my word, I will not rescind in the agreement, I am a man of my word. We waited two days with no phone calls. We called several times on day 3 and was told Manny was unavailable. On day 4, Manny contacted a family member to say that he is not honoring the agreement and that everything he said was to appease the family. WOW, the little faith we had in the company to demonstrate some type of integrity was now diminished to nothing.
Conclusion: same day my family paid the financing company in full to protect my elderly family member and now we are seeking legal representation.
BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY.
