I kind of want a search engine to index this page so the next owner can see how fucking batshit crazy the previous owner of the car was.

Edit: Unjacked the formatting

Sovcit probably shouldn't post your entire VIN on the Internet either

[-] Dultas@lemmy.world 18 points 1 day ago

And full name, and zip code. Hell the account number probably isn't a great idea either.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 7 points 1 day ago

I didn't even notice.

[-] Gerudo@lemm.ee 77 points 1 day ago

The person who wrote that letter is DONE dealing with sov cit shit. It's the most pointed "stop wasting our time you fucking dick for brains" I've seen yet in response to people trying this.

[-] Catoblepas@lemmy.blahaj.zone 35 points 1 day ago

Car dealerships have to be the number one hot spot for sovcit shenanigans, after family court. First thing these fuckers want when they think they have unlimited money is a free truck.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 20 points 1 day ago

And the last thing the dealerships want is for people to get away with a free truck. So they're going to come down on this shit hard.

This isn't the same as a cop pulling them over because they don't have a license plate and the cop lets them go because dealing with their shit is above his pay grade. This is their pay grade.

Novation lol

I hope they tear him a new one

[-] stinerman@midwest.social 55 points 1 day ago

He sent in the cupon instead of the coupon. Rookie mistake. Now he's on the hook for the entire loan amount.

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 37 points 1 day ago

Great Scott, you twits. You don’t get free cars for choosing not to participate in society!

[-] Laser@feddit.org 12 points 1 day ago
[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 3 points 20 hours ago

They need to go on The Price is Right, like the rest of us.

[-] Rin@lemm.ee 4 points 1 day ago

I'm told you get a free anaconda at hutton orbital

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 14 points 1 day ago

If they don't want to participate in society, the least they could do is go move out into a shack in the woods Unabomber style.

Maybe not bomb people Unabomber style though.

[-] corsicanguppy@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

But - and this is for our own sovcits - no free healthcare (or soon dental and then vision) for you! Choose to exit society and renege on your obligations and you get no benefits from it. Come into a hospital and you're paying "vacationer rates" (because we have those and they're smaller numbers but they're like America).

[-] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 8 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I Would even go with ‘probably don’t’

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

I didn't want to step on anyone's hopes and dreams.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 26 points 1 day ago

"What's the next best step?"

Find a lawyer.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 49 points 1 day ago

Fucking pay your car note buddy or you'll be on the bus telling them you don't need to pay the fare and to just bill the trust.

[-] xep@fedia.io 19 points 1 day ago

Does this ever work? I just wonder what fuels this collective insanity. If it's never worked before, is the goal to keep trying until it does and then constitutes legal precedent?

[-] jjjalljs@ttrpg.network 7 points 1 day ago

They're stupid and their in-group are also mostly idiots.

Facebook and other platforms are partly culpable because they could stamp this out to prevent it was spreading, but they don't care.

[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 17 points 1 day ago

Millions of people are saddled with bills they can't pay and an uncaring and complicated bureaucracy they struggle to navigate because of poor education, then they find a community of people claiming to have the solution to all of their problems. It doesn't have to work, they just have to believe it does and they will rationalize away any sign that it doesn't. The sovcit community gives them a feeling of autonomy and control they will not easily part with.

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

They're very seldom a poverty problem. I never post the ones who are just trying to desperately find a solution. The ones I post are all hardcore anti government lunatics who want to get everything for free.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago
[-] Schmoo@slrpnk.net 4 points 1 day ago

Those are just the most visible people due to their wealth and influence. For every rich sovcit there are probably a thousand in abject poverty. They live in rural areas, usually in mobile homes, and fly Gadsden flags. I've known several. Try working for an ISP as an installer or repairman and some might even take a few shots at you.

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

Aside from the Bundys, which are not there, those are all the biggest SovCit criminals cases, so it's weird that you are just dismissing them like that.

And I wouldn't say a dentist or a military IT guy had wealth or influence.

It has never worked, but there are people online pretending it has, which makes some people who aren't very smart think maybe it'll work for them, too.

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 3 points 1 day ago

"does that actually work"

"No it never does... But it might work for us"

-Arrested development

[-] slaacaa@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

I see a huge untapped business opportunity in selling “how to” courses and templates to sovcits

[-] Aeao@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

For fifty bucks I'll tell you exactly how to make money scamming people.

Nice. Those never fail to cheer me up :)

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 6 points 1 day ago

They're honestly hilarious.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

I see this mentioned (in poor spelling every time) but what is this....coupon? It seems like they send it for everything as if it was a check to pay things.

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 11 points 1 day ago

You know with recurring bills like mortgage and car loans how they send you a little booklet with all your info so you can just drop that in the envelope too rather than write down all your info and possibly fuck things up? What would you say if I told you that you could write some magic words on it and turn it into a check that will draw on your estate with $2 million the government sets up for everyone? Well the guy featured in this post thought it was fucking genius.

[-] Exusia@lemmy.world 7 points 1 day ago

No I understand what they think it does but what's the actual like object they send? Do they just write their Magic Text on those pieces of paper, and mail it off or is there like a Magic Coupon they print off?

[-] meco03211@lemmy.world 4 points 1 day ago

Magic words on the paper itself.

[-] watersnipje@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 points 1 day ago

? There are people in the world who pay their mortgage with a paper check? In this century?
