My daughter recently filed for bankruptcy and her car was included in that filing. She no longer wants or can afford the car so I decided that I would try to reach a settlement agreement with the lender Consumer Portfolio Services ( CPS ). We went back and forth a few times until we verbally agreed on a fair price. I acquired the monies needed then contacted CPS asking for a written settlement agreement, especially after researching the company a bit and finding out about their shady practices. I was told that they dont give written agreements because everything is noted on the account in their computer system. I had my daughter long into her account the notes they speak of is not visable to us. I called again to say that I 'm not comfortable sending that kind of money with nothing in writing. I 'm sure that CPS would not loan or give me money without a written and signed loan agreement. Their response was " we do n't do that, just send the money and we will release the title ''. This would somewhat explain their recent Civil Judgement with the FTC.
