payments to them. Once the balance with them got down to 5k I couldnt afford to pay them due to being in grad school. After they paid for the new engine I couldnt afford payments on that either (they offered to pay for half of that), so really I owe them about $6500, but now that they bought my bro a 30k new truck they have forgotten about it and told me not to worry about it. They have told me to wait to buy a 2nd car til I have a job :)
