Garbage
First off i would like to say your all my best friends and heros for being able to stick with this company. Here is my story, i was 20 yrs old and was looking to get a new car and i was told i could be finanaced through flamingo financing. My interest rate was 28% i knew little of interest at the time and how it really worked, it was my own fault but whatever, i asked after the first week to have bi monthy payment as mine were once a week and i got paid every 2 weeks, they said no and were very rude about it, well in the next few months there was a couple of times i was 1 day late they would contact my employer, family, and continue to call my cell phone non stop, i got the loan in oct of 06, and in apr of 07 i joined the marines, and sent them a copy of my service members relief act stating any payment i would have to make for the 3 months while i was at boot camp would be pushed back or thrown on the back end, while i was away they called my wife threatening to put me in jail if the payments wearent made, she got scared and made the payment for my protection, she didnt know the law, and the person she spoke with said she was a detective that worked for flamingo, i know now they were lying as i spoke with the same woman, so i got out of bootcamp, moved to california, everything was great until they called and said i owed 850 for the payments that were missed during those months, and the worst thing was they contacted my superiors, which is a very big deal, i told them i would try to make the payment by friday, i was able to pay them 950 an extra 100 for the next weeks payment, they called back 2 weeks later and said i owed them another 1000 dollars or they would come repo the car, i was fed up with the rudeness, lying, and just horrible customer service, so i gave them my address so they can come get the car, well it sat there for 2 weeks and they never came and got it, so i started to drive it again, its almost been 3 years since ive spoken with them they have not contacted me since then, well i was rear ended in the beginning of nov 2010 and the insurance company i totaling the car, and i know once they decide on the settlement they will need the lein holders info and when they contact them they are gonna come for me, well flamingo financing come get it, it will be sitting on cinderblocks in my driveway, stripped of anything valuable, i cant wait for them to contact me so i can give them a piece of my mind, I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE. FOR THE PEOPLE!!!

Horrible
I have retained a lawyer and am looking for anyone who is interested on becoming part in on a civil case against this company. They are a rip off, they are out to take advantage of people who are less fortunate. My email address is [email protected].
Thanks so much!!!

Refuses to comply with active duty orders
Please do not use this company!! My husband just went acitve duty with the ARMY. I submitted his orders to receive the 6% interest rate he is entitled to by being active duty. It has now been over 2 weeks since I sent the orders to them. They refuse to comply. They have now stated 3 weeks later that they want old paystubs and a letter from his commander. I don't mind the stubs if i had been asked when the paperwork was submitted however, I was current on my loan and advised them that it needed to be adjusted before I made my next payment. They never adjusted so now they are telling me that I have to bring the loan current before they will process paperwork!!! I am in the process now of setting up an appointment with a Jag officer as well as the Dept of Financial Services. They do not realize they have to comply with the soldiers and sailors act. Please do not obtain a loan with these people. They are rude and have responded to me with responses such as "well its your fault that he joined the military." And for all those like me who have already been screwed...Its not over yet, I can only hope they are as rude to the Jag officer as they have been to me!

Disrespectull, rude, rip-off, con artist
Flamingo Financing company is the worst company to get financed with. We purchased a car with them for 5000. and by the time we finish paying them off we would have paid 11000. They called my little sister who is 14 at the time and told her that they were going to put us in jail because we were one day late. They call us all time of the night and if you tell them its against the law the say its their automated system. My husband and i have had incident when we pay and they still call and say that we owe them money. Word of advice for anyone pay them only what you owe them Our payments use to be 55.00 a week and we decided to send them 5.00 extras for each of our payments; on day i decided to ask them where does our extra money go to and the said that our payments wasn't 55.00 anymore but it was now 60.00 so all the extra money we were given was part of our payment. We informed them that we were not adviced of thi and they could not do that because we didn't sign for that agreement and they told us either we make the payments or they will come and repo or car because we are a high risk loan. Recently we called them back because someone called and threaten my husband and myself and we call back to inform them they do not need to speak in that manner and the lady that placed the call hung up. We call back a total of 15 times and each time we had the same response. When we ask for their corporate number they continuously hung up and please don't dare ask for a supervisor because they will also hang up on you and tell you F**k You and hang up. Just to let anyone know that is having this problem their corporate number is online but i don't think that will be much help. i had the opportunity to speak with one nice person and she said if we call corporate they could lose their jobs for that

Their Rude Ways
Well, like all of the complaints I have read. We too have one. If anyone is thinking of going with this company please don't. My husband bought a car a year ago and was financed through Flamingo. At first it was ok because there was a local office we went to and the people were very nice there. The office closed a few months back and that is when the trouble started. We would call and make payments over the phone and found that every time we did, we were changed a $5 fee. Seeing how the price of everything is in the world today, we have to scrap and save every peny we get. That first day that we were late on the payment we were called 14 times and so was our family members. Even family members who live miles away. We didn't understand it, but I guess Flamingo didn't either. My husband was told that after the first payment that he could switch to a monthy payment plan at any time. They lied to us. My husband called them and talked to a rep to switch to the monthy payment and the rep told him they don't have one. One of the reps told him, and I qoute "your a piece of s**t" and when the rep said that they would repo the car and have to pay $3000 and up to $1000 to the tow company. Then he said "if you hide the car you will go to jail you piece of s**t and I don't give a d**n about you"
I don't know about you but what kind of customer service are they trying to give?
In all of this the reps always hang up on him when he asks for the manager or supervisor.
When we finally were able to talk to one of them it was horrable.
The manager Ms. Taylor told him that he was a lier, if he was a day late on his payment that they will take the car, and that there was no hope at all and then hung up him. We want to trade the car in to get rid of Flamingo Financing, but after reading all the complaints I guess she is right, there is no hope for us. If there is anyone who has or known anyone at all that has found a loop hole to getting rid of them, please share it with the rest of us so we can save ourselfs.
Sign,
The poor people that Flamingo Financing steals from

Rudeness!
I have had an account with FF for one year now. They have me on a weekly payment of 67 dollars i have asked them over 10 times to have the payment fall on my pay period. They keep telling me that i am unable to do so. So every week i am late do to that, i have had my car reposed once in the year it took me a month to get it back after paying over 2,000 i had no choice but to do so. they have called and left threating messages over my answering machine and my friends as well. It's embarrassing to have everyone know that they are taking your car. They call me 8 times a day on top of calling me at work. I can not have personal calls at work, especial 8 times a day with them yelling at me. They will not work with me i tell them they will have the money in two days yet i still get calls every day. They don't care about you nor do they try to ever help you. I have had a loan thru a bank they did every thing to help me out. They never called me unless there was a short payment. All they want is there money but they don't give brakes nor will they ever an the people that work there don't care. it's horrible customer service if i acted like they do with my job i would of been fired a long time ago. I will re-finance as soon as i can. I will never tell anyone to go through them. I don't understand how they have not been shut down by the state yet. There is not one happy customer with them.

Continued harassment and rudeness!
This is a follow up on my last complaint against Flamingo Financing inc. I was able to contact the company and spoke to a woman named Debra who was extremely rude and hung up on me. I called back and pretended to be someone else in order to reach a manager, a Ms. Collins. She assured me the harassment and rudeness where not company policy and I gave her the entire story I wrote here before. She assured me it would be taken care of. However once again this week they called harassing my friends mother over a $3.00 balance they mistakenly had "forgot" to include. They were rude to both his mother and myself. I had advised them to stop calling me because I am not a party to the contract and will not help them in any way. Unfortunately it's apparent that the company will lie, threaten and bully anyone they want. Whats worse is while they continue to call me and his mother, they have never called HIM directly over any of this. I am seeking punitive measures against the company.

Poor service!
Flamingo Financing - http://www.flamingofinancing.net/ Is the company I am complaining about. I am not a customer but the friend of one. He has poor credit score due to fraudulent activity in his name, including accounts opened in his name before he was old enough to have a credit card. He is also severely disabled and lives on Social Security benefits at age 29. After finally saving enough, he wanted to get a new car that would not require constant work. He was turned down over and over until a "Credit Repair" car sales company told him Flamingo Financing had agreed to finance a car for him. He was basically conned into accepting an outrageous interest rate and other incredibly high charges in order to get into a 2002 Elantra. He is paying over $6,000.00 more than he should for the vehicle because of the company. Still he pays his bills on time every month. This month the company called him claiming he owed an additional $60.00 for a fifth week in the month. He told them he would take care of it soon. That was not good enough for them. The people who have called have been rude, screaming at him on the phone, threatening him, insulting his intelligence and being generally disrespectful. Recently they even called his Mother who has nothing to do with the contract and lives on the opposite side of Florida and harassed her about the $60.00. In fact they called her before they told him! Today I woke up to see 8 missed calls from the company. I apparently am listed as an Emergency contact on the documents. I don't know about you but I don't see a $60 discrepancy as a reason to call an Emergency contact. If I had gotten the calls, I would have cussed the people out and threatened them! He paid the $60 today to keep them off his back. Taking advantage of disabled people is bad enough, threatening them and harassing others not connected to the contract over $60 is unethical, illegal, immoral and will result further action. I am advising my friend to re-finance the vehicle, and I am pursuing other punitive measures toward Flamingo Financing. Be Advised: This company is guilty of robbery, harassment, and immoral activity!
