Called Kia Finance to make out first payment on out new Kia Lease. Respondent answered and I apologized as the dealership was to make our payments automatic. All good thus far. He asked if he was authorized to draft from our bank account, I replied, "of course." He said, what's the answer, I said, "of course, you may draw from my account."
"No," replied. "That's not the answer." I said, "what do you mean by that?" He said, "either yes or no." I said, for what it's worth, "yes & of course mean the same thing." Needless to say it got heated after that.
My attorney said because there was no financial harm, there is no real cause of action, but we can file a complaint. Will be working with the dealership as to proper filing. We know the call center is an off-shore third party vendor and will be inquiring of the standards set forth for Call Center ops by Kia.
In summary, why pick a fight with a client who authorizes payment because the client said, "of course" rather than "yes?"
Claimed loss: No financial Loss - but very unhappy with phone treatment.
