Communication

  October 11th 2002 (Friday)
  Late in the afternoon I received a phone call from Mercedes Benz Credit Canada. You have to excuse me - but after over one month of silence the girl surprised me so much, that I missed to write her name down.
 

She was actually very nice and asked me, if I am still in the possession of the ML320. "Sure" I said, "it is still in my driveway." I told her, that I wanted to return the vehicle early - but was warned, that I have to pay a penalty.

  She pointed out that the vehicle belongs to MB Credit Canada and that she might have to hit me with another month's payment.
 

When I explained to her, that I was willing to return the car previously, and Lone Star (Calgary) Inc. did not want it - that I was busy in the meantime and could not line up a witness, that I returned the car - she calmed down - and she also must have found some correspondence.

  We finally agreed, that I will return the car latest on October 15th 2002 and will not be charged with another month.
   
   
 

... It was at the last minute!
