Camping In Style
Ripoff, Poor Business Practices

In 2003, we purchased a 2004 Prowler Cottage country resort park model trailer. We got our purchase contract and bank financing papers which has the trailer vehicle identification number (vin) on it.

In 2005 we decided to sell the trailer and went to the licence office. To our surprise we found out there is no trailer registered in our name. We gave them the vin number for the trailer and was told that that number belongs to someone else.

Called the trailer dealership and they told me to check the vin number on the trailer. The two numbers were different so here I am for two years paying insurance on something I did not own, and having no insurance on the one I had, not knowing I did not get the trailer I purchased. I called the dealership and they said no problem we will register this trailer in your name. I said thats great but I have no paperwork that shows I own the trailer I have.

Apparently they notified the bank that they changed vehicles on us but did not notify us that they did. As a consumer you never think to check the vin number on a vehicle to make sure you get what you ordered. Since the trailer was purchased I called the dealership at least three times to discuss the paperwork.

I kept saying something is wrong and they kept telling me no. Two years later I know what was wrong. I am very angry that they were allowed to switch vehicles on me and not notify me of the change. I am also surprised that the bank did not notify me of the change.

I want consumers to be aware that this could happen and that they should be checking their purchase invoice with the vin.
