So you heard about our transmission failing in my Mazda right? It was the weirdest thing. Car was running perfect, and then suddenly 3rd gear was destroyed and transmission failure was all we could see.

A friend of ours referred us to a place where they "take all" their cars. The guy told he'd give us a great deal, and said he knew exactly how to fix our Mazda. That was on Monday 2/17/14. What day is it today? Oh yeah, it's March 1st. Do we have our car back?

NO.

Also, we were supposed to have it last weekend. But on Tuesday of this week they told us they had just barely started it. Wait... you  mean to tell us you've had it for a WEEK without working on it?!

Well how the hell do you stay in business, sir?

Oh, and also, now it won't run. Before, it would drive if you stayed in 1st or 2nd gear. Oh, and also... we have to call them for updates every few days because they just don't tell us anything, like the fact that for a week we assumed it was being fixed and they hadn't even touched it. They called Justin at 4pm yesterday and said, "Hey it's ready!" So he turned in our rental car and went to pick up the Mazda... FINALLY.

Well it wasn't working. And they just called us today to say they can't fix it.

If anyone ever refers you to this company because they know them, and they'll take really good care of you, and give you a great deal, PUNCH THAT PERSON IN THE FACE. The reason I say this is, they just basically signed you up  for the worst service worst communication skills, and stupidest people on the planet. Better yet, PUNCH THEM IN THE FACE AND TELL THEM YOU CAN'T BELIEVE HOW LITTLE THEY CARE ABOUT YOU, AND NEVER SPEAK TO THEM AGAIN.  I had my doubts, but the guy said he could fix our transmission and knew exactly how to do it, as if he was a pro with Mazdas. I swear, the few times I ignore my gut, I regret it EVERY TIME.

I guess I should've known. They're name is Rollin' Big Auto. Stupid jackass company name, it reflects exactly how professional they are. I just want to punch myself in the face for thinking a company with that name would be professional and do a great job. It's like buying a top of the line mattress from MATTREZZ OUTLET or FurnishIt. Just don't do it. Incidentally, these do exist. I got a mattress at FurnishIt and it was cheeeeappppp. It makes sense, the last half of the word stands for OUR STUFF IS CRAP.

What to buy, or do with the money?

What are your favorite things to do with tax refunds?

Do you buy new furniture, a new Macbook, pay off some debt, go on a vacation, donate to charity, wipe your butt with it, burn it and laugh about how rich you already are?

I'd love to hear what you're hoping to do with all them benjamins. Share your ideas below in the comments!

So, I rarely complain about businesses because I feel like if I take my business elsewhere then I am victorious and they are not, but over the past few months Justin and I were getting screwed big time and I'd like to tell the world about it! I'd like to help you from making a grave mistake by working with CHASE BANK for anything at all.

We're trying to buy a house and were very excited to find out the type of loan we qualified for was the best one on the market and allowed a lot of freedom when buying a house with minimal up front costs. Well, our lender was an idiot and didn't actually make sure we qualified for that specific type of loan. It's a hard one to get and so you have to make sure all the hoops are jumped through.

But he never told us. So we went house hunting, and happily put offers on homes we fell in love with hoping someone would accept our offer. SOMEONE DID! And the house was perfect!

Three weeks before we were supposed to close on the home we fell in love with, we found out he hadn't done his job, and our only option was to come up with a lot more money every month AND upfront, and that we didn't even qualify for that loan (despite the fact he'd sent loan approval letters to our seller). You can imagine our severe disappointment in having to walk away from our dream house.

What's even worse is, the first house we offered on wouldn't accept our type of loan because it requires an extra appraisal, and had we known we didn't even qualify for that type of loan, we'd have gotten the first house which was super cheap and nice, or waited several months to come up with a huge downpayment.

Then when we walked away from the house BEFORE the deadline to cancel our offer, the guy tried to tell us the fee he said was for the APPRAISAL was actually for a non-refundable application fee. Yeah, I don't fall for that. We have been fighting for over a week now to get our money back. I filed a complaint with his boss, and on their company's website.  Justin talked to his boss about the whole thing, and he said he'd give us our money back. The guy we were working with didn't even apologize for not doing his job, making us lose our favorite house, or for lying to us. All he said was "I told you already, can't refund you, take it up with my boss".

GRRRRRRRRRRR! Chase bank you suck balls. I hate you.

His manager told Justin we'd be getting our $500 bucks back... let's hope this really happens. It's been 5 days now.

NEVER WORK WITH CHASE BANK UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES!!!!!!!
