I provided proof that they falsified my mileage and asked if they were going to low ball me on my car value now. Ever since then they cut contact with me altogether. Probably waiting for my attorney at this point.

A: An Ohio attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for a week. Suing is always an option on any claim. But maybe first look into what caused the mileage error, and if they will work toward resolution of the claim with you based on corrected odometer readings. If the claim is PD only, and working with their PD adjuster could lead to resolution, that route would be less expensive than a lawsuit for all involved. Good luck
