![]() ![]() The call center (obviously outsourced to another country) is trained to treat you like a criminal. This was probably one of the worst experiences with any kind of lender I have ever had. I am across the globe doing counter terrorism operations and I dont have time to keep calling back for different people to waste my time and not help me pay the bill that I am being told I owe. Every time I ask for a supervisor over the phone I get told that nobody is around. I need someone from SETF to contact me immediately to rectify this. I am actively contacting and calling the useless support line only to keep getting transferred to different departments from a bunch of rude and poorly trained workers. I specifically asked this because I am a military service member of 19 years and have had to deal with getting deployed overseas with short notice.Aside from SETF now penalizing me- it is impossible to pay the remaining balance I have. I was initially told that as long as I didnt go over the total mileage of the several year lease- I would not be penalized for excess mileage (if the total mileage was divided by years). I leased a vehicle from ******** Toyota of Wilmington.

We are only looking to refinance our auto loan to a lower monthly amount rather than continuously disputing. In January, I became employed and started attending to these payments in January-April 2023 and no option to remove late payments could be addressed nor to lower payments. Since we weren't able to make payments in November 2022-December 2022, only two payments. We started struggling with the first time with our payments in November 2022. Late payments were made due to struggling with Covid-19 and the timing to take this fund as this was my retirement fund. My family and I were impacted my Covid-19 in 2021 and utilized my retirement fund to attend to these payments although we remained in contact with this organization to work on refinancing our vehicle. I have been in desperate contact with the Southeast Toyota Finance to refinance my auto loan to lower payments as the option to refinance is viable. I don't work for ******************** I am the customer (please find some way to understand this). How dare such a company not try to address the issue and the stress they have placed on a customer. The lack of such could also be having a huge impact on this company and the quality of service which is the most horrible I have ever seen. I highly recommend that the company gets some type of customer service training and qualifications in addition to supporting DEI (diversity, equity and inclusion). I literally had the worst experience in my total life yesterday due to Southeast Toyota Finance. No customer should ever have to experience the headache that I have had to go through. I was told I needed to call back at another time but Southeast Toyota Finance indicates specific hours on their website. I do not appreciate being talked down to, especially as ****************.

I didn’t know any of this was going on until one day I got a phone call from him introducing himself and I said ‘I know you, I have your cassette tape at home.’ We met that night and had dinner and dated for two years. “He didn’t know what I looked like, he found someone who knew me, got a contact and drove to my college. “He heard my music and was curious and came to Nova Scotia,” MacMaster said. MacMaster was still a teenager when they first met. He was one of 11 siblings, eight of whom performed and recorded under the family moniker, Leahy. It was very natural.”ĭonnell Leahy had a similar background in Lakefield. Any time you would go to someone’s house for a visit there was always a fiddler there. ![]() Any event you’d go to, there was always music. My mom had it on all the time and the community was full of it. “It was like eating supper, it’s just part of your day,” MacMaster says.

As an added twist this year, the couple enlisted the talents of actor William Colgate. What are they going to do? Sit and just watch the show or just hang out all day? What a waste of their potential.”Īs the name suggests, A Celtic Family Christmas will mix the foot-stomping traditional fare both MacMaster and Leahy have become known for with holiday music.

She was playing Twinkle Twinkle Little Star. She got it and she started playing fiddle around that time, too. By the time she was three, she was trying little steps to imitate us so I thought I’d teach her a real step. “I remember playing shows as a new mother and all the new things that come with that, learning how to change diapers and feed a baby. ![]() “Mary Frances was our first-born I was 33 years old,” MacMaster says.
