[QUOTE="Black2010, post: 14998117, member: 126428"] I'd have to agree with most of the above. Snap-on is not the problem here. It was your buddy's ego. He didn't need Snap-on tools. He wanted them and couldn't afford them so put them on credit. He then started to fall short on payments due to hardships and the company finally reposed the tools for lack of payment. Short paying is not paying in full and if you don't make your payments in full then you are past due. It a fact of financing anything. The one thing I didn't see in your post was if he contacted Snap-on at the time of his first short pay and advise them of the hardship. Most companies have hardship programs that can have payments temp adjusted as it's much better for the company and the customer to modify payments vs going down the collections route. If he didn't do this and just started to short pay on his own then that is another lesson learned. As far as the $1600 back at time of repo. That is not how repo works. The assets are not owned by the end user (your buddy) until they are paid in full. Until that happens they are the banks assets. They are not required to give a full refund back for a repo. Under some circumstance the customer may be entitled to a partial refund if the assets are sold and that sell, plus received payments is greater than the sum of the assets original cost plus the cost of financing. Are you a lawyer? I'm trying to figure out why you are trying to negotiate this for your buddy. I'm assuming not as most of your voiced concerns are well withing legal rights and a lawyer would already know that. With my assumption being you are not a lawyer and are trying to just help him out that also tells me that your buddy has some maturing to do. P.S. - $29.99 finance charges a month on a $4K plus loan is not even close to usury (the legal limit for interest). That rate is going to go off the location that the finance company is incorporated and not where you live. Most usury limits are right at 30% thus why you see all the CC interest rates cap at 29.99% interest. Forgive my math if I'm off a bit since I'm just doing it in my head right now but an interest rate of 29.99% (assumed usury limit) for a $4K loan (total principal balance) would equal close to $60 a month in interest charges so they are well below that based off what you posted.
