Single mothers have evolved into victims, eh?
Where are the fathers?

If you can’t afford a car, don’t buy one.

This has been going on for a while. In Detroit, former lions player and car dealer Mel Farr started doing this 10 years ago.

Not really, I was a single mother a long time ago and managed to buy a new vehicle and pay for it, without any outside help.

So she missed the payment, and admits that she didn’t have the money to make the payment, and she’s upset that the lender wanted the money or their collateral?

Ok, what’s the story here. Didn’t pay, lender disabled the card. Buyer paid, lender enabled the card.

What a concept.
But what good is free health care if you don’t have a new caddy to drive to the doctor office?

Before everybody piles on, I'm fed up with this big brother stuff. THREE DAYS late on a payment? Give her a break. Charge her a $10 late charge or whatever, but don't disable the car.
She may need it to get to work or for an emergency such as quoted. Do you people realize the low end used car market is still recovering from the cash for clunkers fiasco which took so many cars off the road?
She may live in an area where there is no realistic alternative to owning a car.
This is nasty, vicious exploitative stuff and will invite draconian legislation from the Elizabeth Warrens in congress that we will all have to pay for. Lenders, not just borrowers, have a responsibility to be responsible and reasonable as well.
I don't want congress writing more legislation to foul up the credit market and hurt the very people it is supposed to help. But that is exactly what is going to happen if lenders (and their muscle) don't act responsibly.

At that point. It’s not her car. The owner allows her the privilege to drive it while she pays for it. She can’t pay, she can’t drive.
Pretty simple.

If this woman's daughter had died because of the Big Brother Disable, all the same people piling on would be bitching about Big Brother Disable. But, alas, she didn't die, so it's fair game to crap on the sinning single mom.

THREE DAYS late on a payment?The car is 9 years old. She has a >$350 payment on a nine year old car minivan. I'm just guessing, but I think she was more than 1 month late.

Actually, I am with you. This kind of action could come back to bite the lender if the vehicle was not available for an emergency and someone was seriously injured or worse. How far we have fallen as a nation!
