    Another question re paying on car that is not reaffirmed...

    Sometimes I wish I had reaffirmed because not reaffirming, frankly, is a pain in the butt, thus far.

    Okay, so I made a payment by check last week. This is a problem because I am always skeptical about the check not getting there or their just SAYING the check didn't get there on time, or it gets there but gets mis-filed or whatever...

    Anyway, I sent my payment, and here it is a week later and still it has not posted to my bank account, so I am worried that for whatever reason they did not get it.

    So I want to call them and ask if they got the check or not. I also want to find out HOW late the payment can be before they'd come after the car.

    So I call up their 800# and while most clients are allowed to hear their payment info by phone (like when the payment was posted or when it's due), I get a message that says:
    You must speak to a representative.
    Why? Why must I speak to a representative, just to find out if my payment was made or not?? Is it because they want to talk me into reaffirming?

    So I hung up.

    Is there any danger in speaking to a representative at this point? I don't want to reaffirm (I guess) (not even sure I could after my 60 days are up).

    All I want to ask is "Did you get my payment?" and "How late can I pay before the payment is considered past due?" And "Would you now send me paper bills again, since my 60 day wait is over?"

    Also, I set up my bank account for an automatic payment to them, and I sent them a "test" payment of $1 in addition to sending the check by mail. But even though my payment account shows that the money was sent, my bank balance still does not show the $1 was deducted from my account, even though I made the electronic payment from my bank one week ago. What's up with that?

    When I was in BK. My car was financed through the dealer. They sent me a letter telling me I would no longer receive notification of monthly payments (due to the automatic stay.) I said that I was responsible for keeping up the payments as scheduled. I never reaffirmed with them either, I just kept paying ahead of time - ON TIME. When my Bk was discharged, I started receiving monthly payments. I decided to trade in my car and hoped to get a new loan through the same dealer, however, they said because I never "reaffirmed," the loan w/them they were not able to finance me again. Well I ended up trading the car anyways and got a loan through Household Credit, than several months later I refinanced again through capital one.

    Just an FYI, on my experience: Catchmeifyoucan
