Lobel Financial
Reviews and Complaints

My nephew has been a victim of lobel financial and they have proven to be a unethical and fraudulent company. I would love to assist or get my nephew involved in a class action lawsuit. This behavior and horrible business practices can not be tolerated. If consumers stick together and continue to pursue fair and ethical business practices than eventualy lobel finiancial will fail. Business' can only take so many lawsuits before they fold. Please contact me at shawnacole1972@gmail.com. if anyone has any information reguardung a current lawsuit or would like to be involved in creating a new one. Thank you so much.

I too have been through the ringer with LOBEL, I will be filing suit! Every other complaint can be quantified or verified by me, because it all happened to me too.

You may also want to verify that LOBEL FINANCIAL complied with California’s stringent laws concerning the repossession of your vehicle and the subsequent notice you were required to receive. Contact an attorney if you have any questions.
These same post-repossession notices were the subject of a series of class action lawsuits heard in Sacramento Superior Court (LOBEL FINANCIAL Auto Cases, Case No. JCCP 4563). On March 26, 2010, Judge Michael P. Kenny issued preliminary approval of a class action settlement collectively resolving the matters after California consumers Ivon Lara and Jaime Penuela filed separate complaints against LOBEL after LOBEL FINANCIAL sued each of them for a deficiency balance on the repossession of their vehicles.
LOBEL general counsel, Gary Dean Lobel, declared that there were 9, 159 consumers whose outstanding deficiency balances totaled more than $43 million. LOBEL agreed to halt all collection activity on those accounts. LOBEL also agreed to waive the entire $43, 808, 147 in alleged deficiencies and to delete consumer credit reports of LOBEL FINANCIAL trade-lines.

Lobel probably made up the entire story about the dealership submitting false documents. Lobel only pays the dealership 75 cents on the dollar for the contract, then sues the dealer when you miss a payment. Plus Lobel has employees verifying the information they receive from the dealer.
Lobel has had multiple class action suits filed against them. Lobel, in turn, has sued thousands and thousands of unwary consumers. Their in-house counsel, Ronald Green, lies to court judges whenever it suits him. However, atttorney Ronald Green appears to be just another product created by the Lobel's to defraud both consumers and dealers.
Ask Governor Jerry Brown why he only gave Lobel a slap on the wrist when AT&T discovered Lobel was fraudulently obtaining consumer phone records.
Then, ask Lobel if they stole the Sales Tax you paid the dealer to buy your car. That will get their attention.

Same thing has happened to me with this company please if anyone stars a lawsuit please contact me @ karisma1122@gmail.com

I hate this freakin place lobel is the worst they repoed my car i had the payment in the mail and they freakin took my car i was not even behind more than a month and on top of that im gettin the run around and i need my damn car and its almost paid off.

Lobel Financial management has made an attempt to contact the customer to discuss and address her concerns as well as review and provide any options available to her.

WARNING TELL EVERYONE DON"T DO BUSINESS WITH LOBEL FINANCIAL. THEY ARE EVIL PEOPLE. The company Lobel Financial takes away your rights as a consumer. They make up lies and continue to twist them, to make it your fault. They feel they are always in the right, and that no one can touch them. They told me that I stole my car after sending a change of address as a P.O.Box as my new address. They said you don't live in a box. I sent a P.O.Box only because of construction work in my apartment. I got moved to another apartment temporiarly. I sent them my insurance information with my physical address using my family member address. They took my car because I live in a P.O.Box. If I did live in a P.O. Box how did you know where my physical address was unless you received my proof of insurance card.
This is an evil company, and not only are they hurting the consumer, they are also ripping off dealers who try to do business with them. I hope someone who can investigate this company and catch them! Bring this corporation down!. They should have no creditability whatsoever for anything that they say or do. Don't let them entice you into believing they are here to help you. They are here to ruin your life.

This company is nothing but harassing crooks! 25% interest is Usury!

TheLoveFist II needs to get a life...this company has screwed with my account as well. My husband has served 23 years in the military and now works for the federal government. I have made my payment every month since we purchased our vehicle from them. They are trying to say that we are a month behind when actually we should be a month ahead because we authorized 1 payment to come out of our account and they took 2. They are theives, and they are violating the freedoms that my husband and many other soldiers have fought in many wars to provide their freedoms to them. They actually sent a tow truck to my house right after stealing money from my account and when I talked to the tow truck driver, even he said I should find a new finance company, that they are theives and all the customers are to them are cash cows...it's truly disgusting and I am currently in contact with an attorney that wants to take them for everything they are worth and give all of their consumers justice.

I wish my son would of gone to another finance company, they will not stop calling my son got another cell phone number, will never call them on his cell, they call family members as well, and they make up stories about talking to my ex husband ( I don't have an ex-husband). They are constantly calling and lieing. How do we get these people to stop.

I was 37 days late on my car payment and I called up to tell him I was getting paid that Friday and that can make a payment and bring the account current she said okay no problem they asked me where the park where the car was parked and I gave me the address thinking everything was fine cuz I just made the payment arrangement it was only Tuesday and I'll be paying them that Friday on that night they came and repoed the car Tuesday night and then they lied and said I borrowed 10,000 when I only borrowed $6,000 11 keep the car then they took me to court got a judgment against me for $11,000 which I paid in full but that was fraud on the dealership part and I was not aware of it until they repoed the car so then I pay him in full and they are refusing to remove it off my credit saying that they charged it off and I owe them $768 they were paid 100% in full they garnished my wages court ordered have to pay them in full which I did and got the completion on the wage garnishment showing that they're paid in full and they still will not say that I paid the loan off and I don't care if they leave it on my credit report I just want to show that it was paid in full not that they charged it off and there's a balance due because that's not correct and they won't fix it it's the worst company I've ever dealed with customer service it's the worst by far they hire white trash who don't know what they're doing and for all the employees and for the company itself I hope a camel with the weak bladder walks over your face

My car was reposed in July. I was only behind on my june payment, and not even a full payment, I did make a partial payment. After I called them and told them that I would pay it as soon as I got paid. It was 4 days away and I had to pay over 1000$ to get it back and they now have my credit report marked as two late payment. I could not be late for July, as I had to bring my account current in order to get my car back.
I also called in Aug and set up a payment arrangement and the guy on the other end did some sneaky activity, and did not tell the whole truth, and because of it, I was charged a late fee. And I did not find that information out until the next month when I got my next statement. I called and talked to the supervisor and she told me that there was nothing that she could do as they only keep the recorded calls for 30days.
They did try and pull the NO insurance coverage twice with me and told me that it takes up to 14 days for them to receive and process a faxed in document.

Their customer service agents are ruthless and they really just don't care and they are not held to any standards.
I filed a complaint with the BBB as well. And posted it on my Facebook page, that if anyone is approved by them, not to do it.

I also had a fraudulent repo and i'm trying to start a class action law suit against lobel financial company in california.
please call me [protected]. If you can prove in court your case.

Lobel repossessed my car also due to their own error from the first day I bought it. Within a week of buying my car, Lobel called me to verify my information. She verified everything but the important stuff! I kept asking her if she had my correct mailing address because the city I live in does not have mail delivery and we have to receive our mail by p.o. box. She told me not to worry and that they have it but she never read it to me. I didn't get anything in the mail from Lobel for over a month and had no idea where to send my first payment to. I started calling the dealer about this and was given the number to call.They gave me the run around and told me not to worry that I should be getting the papers in the mail. Each time I called, I stressed to them that I need to make my first payment so that my account wouldn't go into default. I finally asked to just make the payment over the phone using my credit card and was told that I couldn't. They only accepted checks by phone with an additional fee. I don't have a bank account! Found out they never had my p.o. box info and was sending paperwork to an address that doesn't even exist. When they finally got the address right, and I was making my scheduled payments on time, they show up at my house while I'm at work and repo my car! That was my only means of transportation and was dropped off at work by my husband! Called them immediately and was told that I had to wait for a manager to review my account. Made me wait for 2 days before the manager even got around to my account while storage fees are racking up. When they finally call me to let me know why they took the car, they wanted over $1000 from me. They said that it didn't matter about the mistake they made on the address and that it was my responsibility to make the first payment that was missed even though I had no idea where to send it and they wouldn't give me the info. I told them to keep the car and stick it in an unpleasant place. Hate this company! They lie and rip us off!

I spoke with rude customer service name Arthur. Iwanted to schedule a payment of $376.00 but they reposses my car since I move from my previous address & the phone # were disconnected. They call my work # & my cell phone a couple times to provide my car keys. I tried to work with them, but they keep asking me that I need to provide 2 more phone numbers for relatives or address. Now, they saying that it was my fault because I moved & never updated my address. The customer service is terrible & rude!. Please do not used lobel for anything. Worst bank in the world!

I agree with you about Lobel Financial. I was 39 days late on my account. I spoke to a CSR around august 18th, i told them to give me a week that i can make a payment, then the following week i can make another payment. The CSR name Maria said ok that would be fine to catch up the account. Then all of a sudden 2 days before the 25th, my car got repoed. Talking about recanting on your word. i am have tempted to just let them keep the car. i tried calling customer service and they said the collection people dont come in until 10am and to call back.

Lobel Financial is not a professional people..I almost lost my job because of them calling 5 times a day...they harrass you your just late of payment and they will leave messages on my work phone...i save all they messages just incase. I been paying them for 3 yrs no late payment but after 3 yrs. and i ask them if they can work with me and give me a break a little bit! BUT perla whoever her name said that if i dont make a payment on time today they will get the car..She even said that i have to come up with the whole payment of $3000 plus the $1100 total of $4100... if i cant pay the car then tomorrow they will wait at work to pick up the car...is this company run by a evil person or demon maybe the evil son! Lobel company your business is not gonna be for a long time because you guys dont have a heart and a soul! Money is all about you guys! A lot of people are having a hard time right now and sometimes they need help...but guess what people LObel has no heart at all...Dont get Loan with them...they will rip u off and charge a lot of interest...

bankruptcy will halt all collections on your account. Or atleast it should. I hate these people! I paid all this loan off. I'm done with them. I wish I can take them to small claims or do something. It's not fair. People run into financial hardships all the time. Why is that they are the only ones who are not understanding to the situation? If they repo our car, then how will we get to work to pay the dam loan? Their a bunch of idiots! I don't wish bad on anyone, but I wish Lobel would be investigated by the consumer affairs for bad practiace and work ethics. They are the ones breaking arangements half the time. In my case they did.

I;m so mad again!

Fyi a note is not a secured arrangement! I was explained that it's noted on account but not secured, means the account remains subject to further collections including possible repossession. Make your payments on time remember the grace period is for no late fee and if made even one day past your account will accrue additional interest if it's simple interest, just like other finance companies. If you don't there is consequences just like not paying your phone bill it's disconnected just saying the company isn't bad it's giving all of us a second chance and opportunity to rebuild our credit. Let's face we aren't the best customers that's why we are financed with lobel make your payments on time and you won't have to deal with the collections or repossession department. Just saying and mske sure to read your contract the fine print.

I agree with everyone who has been dealth with dirty by this tired company. Pay back is a mutha i'll tell you that and we should all get together and file a class action suit with them... I made a payment as agreed with RITA and they repoed the car anyway.. Bad Bizness Lobel folks workin way to hard for the money. Don't b a hater b a congratulata, ur time is coming. It happened to Santander y not u!

I reported Lobel just today for their shady behavior. I have never been late on a payment. But I'm constantly told that I don't have proof of insurance coverage. My insurance company and myself have sent them proof of insurance over and over again and they still tacked on extra for their so called insurance coverage. I reported them to the BBB and the California secretary of state. I just decided that I have had enough of wasting my time calling them and refaxing insurance proof. My insurance company has had enough too.

I have been through the same things all of these people are saying. I had a very rude person named Melissa tell me today that because my car was taken on Saturday which was only one day past the day of supposed agreed date to pay$100.00 left owing on my monthly payment she had the power to decide whether or not they would continue my loan through them...The reason she said that was because she did not like my "tone" or" attitude" please tell me what kind of attitude am I supposed to have after my car has been taken for $100.00? This company is very shady in their business practices. I would suggest to anyone wanting a car make sure it is not this company, they have already had an class action suit against them in California that they lost. It blows me away me that after that they would continue these practices.
I am disabled with 3 children at home and need to be able to get to Doctors appointments. If they will do that to me they will do it to everyone...

I made my payment over the phone on 2/9 with a agent who was very rude. So rude I complained to her manager. I called on 2/25 because the payment had not cleared my account. I spoke to the same manager who I made the complaint with and she told me everything was fine and they had my payment. That following Monday they reposed my car saying they got my payment back. Apparently they tried to take the payment from a old account. The fact that I called them Friday them and said there was a problem because it hadn't cleared yet wasn't good enough and didn't send up any flags to anyone. No one thought to check the account they didn't call me on monday instead they just picked up my car? So the money is sitting in my account and now they have my car. If I wasn't trying to pay them I would be really upset but I have the money I was trying to make my payment.

If you want to get your car back today, file bankruptcy. You'll have it back tomorrow.
If it's unlawful repossession make sure that you call the licensing office for repo companies in your state if there are any.

Find out what your states laws for repo'ing a car after a payemnt has been made, how many days, or months after..
Then call a lawyer if you find that there are any violations of the law.

They repod my car yesterday for $150! Won't give us an answer when we ask them questions on how to get it back. We are trying to pay them my husband just got paid and we don't get an answer. Now they are trying to say he has to add me to the loan which we had to get it in my husband's name due to my credit! They are awful people! I just don't know what we can do!

These ppl are backwards they lie and so rude and out to steal your money after a few months .. They will screw DONT EVER GO THRU THIS COMPANY

I lost my job currently and am not even 30 days behond on my payments. I started getting calls on 1/3/2013, i am not talking 1 or 2 but up to 80 calls in one day saying they are going to come repo my car, These people are crooks andknow that they are. I dont understand how after having lost several law suits they are still treating their customers like this. They need to be shut down, how can we go about starting a lawsuit against them in the state of az.

It's true. I am in the same situation right now. I also bought my car from USA Auto. Had the car over a year, $500/mo payments, never late, never missed one payment. Car has been fully insured since day 1 and the registration was just paid for [protected].
My license was suspended due to court error, I did not know about it, got pulled over and the car was impounded. The next day I went to the court and the case was dismissed due to clerical error. Went to DMV then to the police for an early release. Went to get the car and it was gone. Impounded for less than 3 days, one of them a Sunday, and they repo'd it. I hate to say it, but the local cops are in on it as well. I didn't get it at first, but when they had the car towed, they wrote on the pink piece of paper (numerous scratches and dents) when describing my car. There was not a single scratch or dent anywhere except inside the wheel well, which is not visible (some scratches). So I thought this was bizarre, but there is only one conclusion, now that I see what took place.
I have done my homework, and here's what's going on:
There are two Twin brothers Randy and R...? something. Randy owns USA Auto, his brother owns the Repair shop across from Skateland in Mesa. USA sends all their customers there with promises of discounts. Lobel is probably owned by a brother or a family member too. So, USA sells the cars, the brother performs all the maintenance. Brother does not report to Carfax, so the mileage never increases on carfax. It's not a law that they report, just most mechanics do. So, USA waits a few months after you buy the car, and claims that they are looking for financing for you, and you make the payments to them. They pocket that money, and you never see it as part of your loan. It just disappears. Then the claim to "finally have found someone to finance you" and Lobel picks up the financing from there. They were there from the start, and only do financing for this corrupt ring. It's a phantom business.
Lobel will spend the first 6 months telling you that you don't have insurance, or that their name is not listed as the lienholder. You send it over and over, but they are looking for something else. Once they get it from your insurance agent, your car will be repod. It may be for a day late, or some other bs, and if you do nothing wrong, the police will just impound it for them and they will take it from there.
Then, the car never goes to auction, dream on. The car goes back to the brother at the mechanic shop, he spruces it up, rolls back the odometer to match what is on carfax, which is most like the mileage when you bought it, and the car goes back to USA auto and sold at retail value. They are selling the same cars over and over again at blue book with the same mileage. That's where their cars all come from, and that's the scam. Wouldn't it be nice to have an item, sell it, take it back and sell it over and over again for the same amount? what a deal! Thats whats' happening.
We need to team up. I am in the East valley. This is my email chillbertaz@gmail.com

I have had a similar situation with Lobel. I made payments on time, even paid $40 extra each month. I was originally told my finance payment plan was to last 18months. In no way was that true after all their fees.
In May i was hit by a car while riding my bicycle on a beautiful Saturday afternoon. Being a commissioned sales person, and recently injured I notified them of my situation and asked if they could work out some sort of arrangement. The customer service staff was very rude and basically told me to pay what i owed them or I would be in worse shape in layed up in the hospital. I only had the car for 16months and had so many mechanical issues. After paying for several repairs to keep the car running and by spending time in the hospital i was behind on my payment by 23 days, they repossed my car without any remorse. I again tried to work another arrangement out and they again basically told me to shove it. I got a summons stating I had 30 calendar days to file a response. All because of a bad few months my financial life is ruined now. I have obtained a bankruptcy lawyer to help with this matter. The 30days have passed and I am concerned they are going to garnish my wages or my bank account, can they do this even though i am filing for a BK? Do i need to pull all my money out of my bank ASAP?

they are shady. They give you the best service when you make your payment, but default once (in my case), and they get all crazy. I was i month late, and would send extra money per month to offset my late payment. I got my car repossessed for being behind $250. My current bill wasn't even due yet. Can they do that? Then, they don't even want to hear you out, or let us pleade our side of the story. Very rude people. I hope they go out of business, and their employees can feel like us when no one wants to hear or have somekind of compassion for them.

I purchased a vehicle feb.2017 ford f-150 in two months the fuel pump went out i paid a mechanic $400.00 to replace i called lobel to see if they would help they refuse in aug. 2017 the radiator went out that was another $400.00 plus towing for both mechanical failure lobel refuse again bear in mind i lost my job living on unemployment all Lobel wanted was there payment then finally oct.2017 the engine froze needed to replace whole engine and did not have the cash today is Dec.14.2017 i still dont have my truck but i gave Lobel my last 3 payments and they still refuse to help so now Lobel wants their truck. so i basically got screwed by Lobel Finicial, Basic Auto Sales, and the mechanic that i gave a $600.00 Dollars to start fixing the engine, and still dont have vehicle.

Lobel Financial repossesed my car and I didn't know why, went to the office and they didn't know anything about it that's what they said, then I try calling and get directed to 7 different people which 4 of them sounded like the same lady. No one could answer my questions or tell me where my car was, I found out they say I owe $146 I went and paid 230 they told me I have to pay 557 dollars and then pay for repo fees, police fees, then late fees which added up to over 1500 dollars, I get a print out of my financial papers and its not the same as mine, they said my 2017 down payment doesn't go toward my car... wth the auto time dealer is taking peoples money and they are working with lobel financial, is there anyone doing a class action lawsuit? I would like to get to the bottom of these crooks. I can go on and on but we the victims need to get together get a plan going to stop this.

I need a copy of the lien satisfied form for my car to register at DMV. Please send the address so i can send my request, i purchased vehicle for my son and DMV gave me only your name no other information or I would call for process instructions my email address is shyhaul@aol.com.

Immodest you are an idiot.

This company is fraudulent and is going to pay for it. I pay ALL my bills including my first payment with this so-called company, only having them 1 month, they took my car from being under my INSURANCE FROM AN ACCIDENT, the adjuster getting damage amounts, AGAIN FROM THE LOCATION MY INSURANCE HAD IT AT, not even 5 weeks into my loan with them, stating non payment, HOWEVER, I paid and luckily have all the payment and Lobel Financial info I needed to pursue this legally, not everyone is as lucky. This is supposed to be a forum for serious complaints and responses, you need to be on My Space or somewhere where you do not need to have a brain or be educated on what these are for. They are not for your stupidity or foolish responses to someone who is having serious issues with a company. GROW UP.

At the car dealership I provided all documents requested got a courteous call from Lobel on the same day.
Today, which is a week after;
I got a call from an underwriter named ALMA @[protected] who was rude and condescending and stated she didn't receive those
documents, perfect solution, I would think would to be able to have me fax her those same requested documents myself. No matter a solution she was constantly speaking to me horribly, I finally said I wanted to speak to someone else who isn't so "mean and condescending" and she stated that "I could not, only her, she is the underwriter and she will make the final call".
Wow, what happened to customer service, Im certainly able to keep up my end. I chose this company LOBEL because I used them successfully before and thought Id use them this time rather than someone new. Now I guess I will call the dealership to find someone else when they were already in the works all because of one rude underwriter who says I can't talk to anyone else but HER! I guess one person can ruin it for all the other nice employees I spoke to previously. (one bad apple ruins the bunch)

I have never been late and have never lapsed on my car insurance. They've tacked on their insurance fees even though my insurance company and myself have sent in proof of insurance over and over again. Today, I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and the California secretary of state.

I was 41 days past due and they came and got my car in the middle of the night! WTH I have financed before but never ever have delt with such ignorance in my lfe. Lucky my husband talked to the repo mand and he isn't going to charge any fee's. I am paying my car off ASAP! SO I will never ever have to deal with this company anymore! I to am lucky to join a class action suite.

Lobel is a poster child for "Unfair Business Practices"

Lorena, finance supervisor, who refused to disclose her last name, was very rude. I was calling for a payoff amount for a client who has been with them for 3 years and she wouldn't waive a $200 fee and she refuse because she stated that it was company policy that she could not and would not negotiate a payoff. She was very rude and unprofessional. The client has been with them for 3 years and that type of service is the reason he wants to change to a different finance company.

This company refuses to give information reguarding your account they wont let you speak to a suppervisor as well as they tack on numerous extra charges and insurance fees when you have private insurance. They reposse vehicals when your payment is current and refuse to give any information in regaurds to getting it back untill once again they add more charges. Making aditional fees out of reach. This company is a unethical and fraudulent business. There are numerous complaints and victims of this company.

Lobel Financial is a joke my husband just told them to come pick up his car he is so tired of there ### he has financed his cat with them for 6 months we were going.g through some things and was one month behind which he called and talked to someone and said that he was unable to lay for this month and they said that was fine not to worry about it well in the end it wasn't fine they have been harassing us and barely made a payment and said that we would have the rest of the payment on Friday and also. Pay for the month that we were behind on FRIDAY here it was Monday and they were calling did we say Monday no we said FRIDAY we just told them to pick up the cat nothing is good enough for them do not go with them!

Not only did they take my car after setting up a payment arrangement but my account was compromised as well. Someone within the company gave my account information to a family member that had no business knowing any of my information. I have no co-signer on my account. I'm the sole account holder and I will be contacting an attorney because this definitely is a breach privacy.

I agree completely. They are a big rip-off. I will be contacting an attorney to see if I can sue them for giving out my account information (all of it) to a family member that has no business prying into my account information. I do not have a co-signer so to me this
definitely a breach of privacy!

ripoff

I am going through it with these people also I purchased a vehicle with approved auto center in California they assigned me to lobel financial I have only made three payments on this car and I have problems with it. They also keep calling me telling me to send insurance information so I did and they keep on saying they haven't received it it hasn't even been a year that I've had this car what can I do ? I'm super fed up and I just want to get rid of this big ### problem this is the worst experience ever!

Never been more than 30 days late I have over 580 DOLLARS in what they call late fees and additional interest that they added to the end of the loan without telling me! I ASKED FOR A STATEMENT EXPLAINING THE FEES AND HAVE YET TO RECIEVE ANYTHING, WAS TOLD TO JUST PAY IT! IT GOES UP BY 100 DOLLARS IN LESS THAN TWO WEEKS AND I WAS TOLD I AM BEING CHARGED ON THE ENTIRE AMOUNT I BORROWED EVEN THOUGH IT WAS PAID ALREADY. AND ALL THAT IS LEFT IS THEIR "FEES " THEY TACKED ON! I JUST FILED A COMPLAINT ON THE FAIR TRADE WEBSITE AND WILL BE FILING ONEBTOVTHE ATTORNEY GENERAL NEXT!

I bought a car at S & S auto sales, the car broke down almost immediately after I financed it with Lobel Financial, . The car was finally repossesed, I was told by one of the representatives that when they sale the car, if they get there money back from i wouldnt have to pay, but knowing, cause i made it clear the car was a lemon, it broke down right after i bought it, , I purchased the car at 6000.00, but im now being charged 9000.00, and Lobel started garnishing my wages so now im without vehicle to go to work, but my checks are being garnished every paycheck which has left me into financial hardship, im going to be evicted, cant pay my pge which is 677.00, and myself, my 3 year old, and 2 year old are going to be in the streets. thanks to lobel who like to put people in the streets.

I too have the misfortune of dealing with this company and its harrassment. The very next day after my payment is due they start calling at every hour of the day, many times a day and leave constant messages. I have blocked their phone number after I asked them to stop. This company is extremely shady. If I could do it all over I wouldn't have gotten the car threw them. I hope the BBB can do something to put this company out of business.
