For the last 2 weeks I have been getting phone calls(6 aday)from an 866 exchange(I don't answer 800-866 phone calls) so I finally pick it up and its eagle bank(hd-finance)they guy asked me the usual BS about address,is the bike still at said address etc,blah, blah.I have never missed a payment since I bought the bike,he said a late fee was applied to my account back on JAN-08 and it needs to be paid,since I am making the normal payment the late fee is now past due,so for 2 weeks and about 84 phone calls to my house and however much they pay those phone people,they wanted that late fee,ready? $5.46!!!!!!thats right,$5.46,if Harley is that desprate to get my 5 bucks they must be in real trouble.I called my buddy that works at the YORK plant and told him he better start looking for a new job!!!! lol!

 

Ummmm...... lets say HD finances 100,000 bikes a year and half of those folks owe a $5.00 late fee. That's $250,000.00 in outstanding late fees. Let's stretch that out over the last 5 - 7 years (the life of an HD loan) Sounds like over a million bucks in $5.00 late fees to me.

Pay yer bills.

Yet another reason to never do business with Eaglemark/HD finance.

 

I have had no problems with eaglemark on my loan, I agree with the guys above, pay your bills and don't title a thread that harley is going bankrupt, sounds as if you need to put your own name in there deadbeat.

 

I've never had any problems with Eagle/HD either. In fact last year when I WAS late on a payment they were more than willing to work with me to get it caught up and get everything straightened out.

 

That's a little odd too, if it were that important why didn't they leave a voicemail about it? Hell they could even do an automated one (everyone else seems too, even Blockbuster!)

 

Eaglemark and automatic withdrawal equals no problems whatsoever.

I just fail to see a legitimate complaint there, or by any stretch of the imagination reason for the title of the thread...send 'em the money, and don't pay late again...

 

I'm sure there are many other lenders that do this.If you owe someone money,their
going to be asking for it.

 

If I owed you $$$, I bet you'd be on the phone. It may only be a few bucks, but the late fee is peanuts compared to the possible effect on your credit rating that will adversely impact future financial transactions. An extra 1% on a 30 year, $150,000 home loan ain't chicken feed ten years down the road.
