The following report was produced by KKCO in Grand Junction, Colorado.
Several people across the Grand Valley, Colorado, claim they’re still in debt over a trailer or RV that they no longer own, after a local dealer sold theirs on consignment.
According to claims filed on the Better Business Bureau and other online reviews, and emails sent to KKCO 11 News, the dealer in question, Bob Scott RV, promised to sell their RV on consignment. Meaning, they would sell it on the customers behalf, then after a commission and other fees, the remaining profit would then be passed back to the original owner.
However, several customers, including Tessa Sherraden, said that Bob Scott RV never paid them the money they were owed after selling their RV.
“It was about two months after we kept bothering them, that they had said something,” said Sherraden. “And then it was just excuse after excuse after excuse about why we were not receiving anything.”
Sherraden said she and her husband gave Bob Scott RV their trailer at the end of summer 2022. They said they heard almost nothing about it selling, or any potential buyers for two months. Then in October, the dealer’s finance officer, a man named Chris Bratager, sent them an email saying their trailer finally sold for $37,000. After commission and other fees, the Sherradens would be getting $31,177.50 in return. But according to Sherraden, she never got the money. And as far as her bank is concerned, she still owns the trailer.
