A couple of years ago I talked with a credit manager of a loan company. She said that there are groups of people who are good at scamming newer model vehicles. They establish enough credit and history to get a new vehicle and make one or two payments. Then they stop paying. It takes time to get the vehicle repossessed because the companies by now have no idea where the vehicle might be. When and IF the vehicle is repossessed and/or recovered, it will likely be trashed and mostly worthless.

NORTH AUGUSTA -- Three Irish Travelers from Murphy's Village in North Augusta have been indicted on federal charges of filing false loan applications to buy pickup trucks in Wayne, Nebraska.

The indictments were announced Thursday by the U.S. Attorney's Office, District of Nebraska.

Thomas ``Champ'' O'Hara, 47, and his sons, Michael, 26, and Bryan, 24, were charged in separate indictments with one count each of fraudulent use of a Social Security card. They are being held in Omaha at the Douglas County Detention Center after being arrested in June on a federal warrant in Eldorado, Kansas.
