VCI lease payments rules

[JS Taylor <jstaylor@ix.netcom.com>]

My experience with VCI has not been a happy one. A simple process of receiving and 
posting payments should not be too difficult for a somewhat organized group but I have 
experienced many problems.

Do not attempt to pay electronically. They can't handle it -- even when your e-payment 
organization cuts a paper check on your behalf. If you are even 2 days late -- the daily 
phone calls start. Then they start demanding that you go to a Western Union office 
(aren't all of those in bus stations?) to wire them the money. Meanwhile, they start 
demanding late fees and blaming the Post Office for them not posting the payment.

So now, I am manually writing my monthly check to them and sending it certified mail so 
I can prove when the payment got there. [All the rest of my monthly bills are paid 
electronically.] Fortunately, there are only 3 more months in my lease. Then I will 
never do business with VCI again.

Good luck.
