the only thing given to me was a written bill of sale that, come to find out, has the wrong year of the vehicle listed on it. I'm technically still even waiting to receive the title.
I traded my van in for down payment if I still owed at the time why would they let me take the car and in 1 week they repo it they never sent me notice or anything

If your car was repossessed and you believe it was done unfairly or prematurely, it's crucial to review your loan or lease agreement closely. These documents should detail the terms of your payments and the conditions under which repossession can occur. If your payment was not due until March... View More

The registration has the wrong name and driver license no. on it, Does this void the contract. Informed the dealer of this, he said i have to have it corrected at my local secretary of state office
answered on Feb 2, 2024
Does this void your contract? Probably not. However, the reason for the error should be investigated. I suggest you file a complaint with the Michigan Attorney General. And also contact the S.O.S. and ask questions. Perhaps they can shed some light.
I bought a single family residence after the seller disclosed the house had a Class 4 roof. My property insurance discount is contingent on having a Class 4 roof. Neither the seller nor El Paso County can provide me with any evidence to certify the roof is Class 4. What is my legal recourse?
answered on Jan 23, 2024
You can hire an inspector to inspect the roof and certify that it is, in fact, a Class 4 roof, and provide that certification to your property insurer.

In your situation with a car that's costly to repair and still under a significant loan, there are a few options to consider. Firstly, check if your car is still under any kind of warranty. If it is, some or all of the repair costs might be covered, reducing your financial burden.

I bought the car back in 2017 from a dealership and just recently found out it has 4 recalls on it and I was not told it had recalls on it some that are very scary. If someone can advise me on what to do next. Thank you.

That's another question, but, again, when spending that kind of money on a vehicle, it is wise, as... View More
