An Arizona attorney could advise best, but your question remains open for two weeks. You could reach out to consumer law attorneys to review your options, based on the terms of the agreement. Good luck

While that is a clever idea, you would not be able to require payment. There are ways in which you can legally deter Creditors from calling, but doing so many encourage them to file a lawsuit. Consult with experiences attorneys.

If that's what the contract says, that's what you are obligated to do.

Is that legal in Arizona? Yes, it is. In Arizona, people are bound by the terms of the contracts they sign.

If they refuse you can sue, the amount is small where you can do in justice court. You could ask for attorney fees.

Consult with an attorney.

Your contract governs your engagement. If they're the ones cancelling, then the cancellation fee, as a general standard, shouldn't apply, but that doesn't necessarily mean that the contract is written that way. I'd suggest having an attorney review the verbiage for you.

In Arizona, the implied warranty on a vehicle is 15 days or 500 miles, whichever comes first. This warranty covers issues that make the vehicle inoperable within that period of time.
