    Billing Issues
    Status:
    Answered
    Good morning, My son purchased a vehicle with Friendly Finance. He was unable to make the payments and vehicle was repossessed. I did cosign for the vehicle. They then proceeded to take me to court for the amount. They sent me a court document stating that if I pay $2300, without being late on a payment, then it would be satisfactory. They are now saying that it was an error and I will have to pay over $9000. to them. I have been paying each month without being late even once. I have spoken to the company and the seedy lawyers they hired and they are saying I have to pay the full amount. Can you please help me with this? I have the court document that I am referring to. Sincerely, *************************
