Q: I bought a Kirby vacuum and the dealer created billing for 3, two different finance compaines. is a type of fraud?
Both finance compaines say dealer said I bought 3, 1800.00 Kirby vacuums but I only bought one. Both companies know the situation, that I only purchased one, that I agreed to one company, $80.00 a month. But both say I'm victim of billing fraud, that I need an attorney. I'm filing a police report and turning the dealership and both companies to TN Attorney General. Both are trying to collect from me, one has taken money out of my checking acct. I only agreed for my credit card. This man worked for Kirby and won a trip to Vegas because he told them I bought 3, I've paid over 2k which should have paid off the one.
A:
Checking off things I would suggest:
You have reported to the police.
Have you contacted the FBI?
Stop the approval for the amounts to come out of your credit card.
Notify the credit card company you dispute the charges.
Contact Kirby directly. Notify them and ask that they intervene- this will put them on notice.
You may want to file a suit including a claim under the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act.
