Been a bit irked at quite a few things recently.  Not really angry, just irked.   With some things irking me more than others.  So I decided to take that energy and focus it into  a few things that I’ve been wanting to do here on the site.  Finally got the photo gallery set up and working the way I want it to and got a few other items done in the background.   All in all, it was a productive weekend.   Don’t know if I’ll be able to say the same thing for the week.

There is one thing that TRULY pisses me off though.  A few of you know that my dad had passed away in April.  Well, been getting things done and out the way for the past few months relating to his death, closing accounts, paying items off, undoing damage, dealing with family, etc…  So anything in that general category doesn’t really cheer me up. 

I had finally gotten the paperwork in to the insurance company (Thanks Pam, for your help) and found out that they didn’t pay the entire payout to the dealership because there had been interest accrued since his death, and they were only interested in paying the balance at the time of his death.  It’s pretty cold hearted and blunt, but I really come to expect stuff like that from insurance companies.   The general majority will screw consumers over in a heartbeat if you ask me.

But what really irks me is the dealership.  These bastards have the gall to charge interest on an account that they KNOW the person has deceased. Not to mention that they knew that I’ve been getting paperwork together and signed by various groups in order to get sent off to the insurance company. So by the time everything was done, there was around 360 dollars of interest, which by the way, the dealership NEVER mentioned to me until they tried to bill it to the insurance company and got the finger. THEN they decide to tell me.   I left them a couple of voice mails about the matter and ended up playing phone tag.  Guy never brought it up either.  I was so hot, but just decided to get it over with rather than start an argument about it.

But seriously, what kind of cold bastards charge interest on deceased accounts while the family is trying to get the insurance paperwork together.  I don’t think that I’ll be doing business with these guys.  For those of you looking for cars on the Missouri side, here’s the info.  I’d go with a dealership with better morals. Most of them are shady anyway, but dang.

Their finance company is called Future Finance and is located in the same location.  Dirty hippies.

Not to mention that even though I paid it off, they couldn’t transfer the title or release the car in my name.  So in order to get this damn thing tagged and dealt with, I have to go through the State of Missouri’s probate courts to get this crap done on a car with expired tags.  No fault of theirs that they can’t sign it off into my name (hopefully, but I’ll look into it), but it was the icing on the cake

People – Get a will.  Especially if you have family. If you don’t, get one so your kids will have an easier time cleaning up the mess.
