A heads up for anyone financing their Escape trailer. We're four weeks out from our trailer being complete. I've had more trouble with Rock Solid Funding than seems reasonable. From the text out of the blue, a few months back, that said, "let's talk about funding," But the text didn't say who it was from. To, today's fiasco trying to scan my driver's license into their app. At one point, the rep asked me if I was "using a valid driver's license."
Enough red flags. I bailed and went looking for financing elsewhere. I was surprised to find out my beloved USAA insurance (and now banking) company doesn't lend money to someone who's planning to make their purchase in a "foreign" country. Yeah, thanks Global War on Terrorism. This had me quite worried upon hanging up from that call.
However, three's a charm. I contacted my credit union, who holds my truck loan. Yep, not a problem. Underwriters have no problem with me buying my Escape trailer from British Columbia, Canada.
I'm frustrated that a company with such a great reputation as ETI... could get dragged through the Texas dirt. Had we not already had such a strong relationship with the company... I'd have walked away. Maybe decided it wasn't time to buy a trailer. At least a new one.
Happy ending to the story here in Oregon. Just want folks to know... do your due diligence in shopping around for the best loan to fit your needs. And the most credible company to represent your financial needs.
