Dealership added warranty, paint protection, and gps tracker on the contract. The contract was already signed, we were able to have the warranty removed, but not the paint protection and gps theft protection as they said they are required when buying new vehicles from their dealership. Is this true... View More

The law in AZ is almost assuredly different than the law in CA and if you were in CA I'd advise you to reach out to the DMV, who monitors and licenses dealers, as those things are not required, that's a scam plain and simple. In AZ, they tend to care more about businesses than they do... View More
We thought we got a good deal on a car. But on contract signing, we noticed there were warranty add ons totaling $6000. We told the financial guy we did not want all those, and he said it is part of the financing agreement since my husband is a first time buyer. My husband signed the contract and... View More

We have a signed contract she made 3 of 6 payments sold the truck not telling me an now won't talk or tell me anything

You can refuse to give them title to the vehicle.
BUT, as described this is not a criminal matter.
Instead, it's a civil matter, a breach of contract.
I was shopping at home depot and went to the garden center to look for Spanish lavender. I asked an employee where to find it and they told me it was outside on the sidewalk (where they keep hundreds of plants for purchase). I informed that employee and the one at the register that I was going to... View More

Sorry for your issues.
Luckily this happened almost immediately after you spoke to the two employees
and you told the loss prevention folks AND they still have video of this event, so,
it's really a non-issue, right?
The authorization forms are prefilled with date being blank, no authorization signature and no company address, just location is filled in. We have pictures proving the way the authorizations are being done is illegal and we have video proof also. We want to sue both company's involved for... View More

I'm sorry this is happening. IF it happened to you ("we") then you may be able to prove your case with your evidence.
Regardless, doing so without an attorney may be tough and hiring one may cost a pretty penny, and some of these folks in the tow biz are pretty tough... View More

Start with the state contractor's licensing board.
IF you get nowhere there, then try an atty who
handles consumer protection.
I have an unsigned purchase order with their and my names on it along with the agreed price. 15 months later it arrived. They told me the cost has gone up $2200 and if I want it I will have to pay more than agreed price. Can they do that?
answered on May 3, 2022
They did it. The question is, "can they make it stand?"
As you've framed it, no. But the true context of it all
will be in the contract itself. Show it to an attorney for
a review to find out for sure what your rights are.
Roof leaks are covered under warranty by solar company. I have been in contact with them for a few months but they have yet to bring anyone out to have a look at the roof. Is there anything I could do about this situation?
answered on May 2, 2022
Sorry for your issues. There are many options.
To me, since you do not want massive damage you get it fixed asap AND
make sure those who ARE fixing make a record that it was in fact the
SOLAR people's fault. THEN later, imho, you go after the solar folks.
Good luck with it...
Contacted CA DMV with the notarized lien satisfaction letter and they don't have a title to issue me.

Assuming all facts to be true and correct and these are the only facts, yes, you would have a case v. Dealer and v. Holder of the contract, here, you've described them as a 'financial institution.'
The lawsuit may be substantial but if you are a non atty, you are more... View More
I took out a loan for $6,300 in June of 2019 and have paid back over $17,000. I still have a principal balance of over $6,800. The APR is listed as 99% and I was wondering if this is legal in California or are there consumer protections?
answered on Apr 29, 2022
So, here is where you can START your research. There WAS a time where the only protections were for loans (in CA) that were UNDER $2,500.00. It's why a lot of places like "We Lend" or "You Owe" or similar sounding names "trust you!" Because, once you borrow more... View More
I Thought selling the vehicle covered all the fees
answered on Apr 27, 2022
Yes they can. Not sure about covering as 'selling' is often a scam wherein they sell to someone LOW, who they are in business (or family) with and then after that sale, they re sell it for fair value. They also chase the original owner for the shortfall in the first sale...

I just purchased a brand new 2022 RV from a dealership. We purchased it about 2 hours away from our home. When we got it home that same day of purchase, the slide out was malfunctioning.

Shipper refuses to reverse the charges for the goods, and keeps adding monthly late fees to my account. I was home at time of alleged delivery, as were 2 other people.

answered on Apr 5, 2022
Sounds like both facts can be true, as in, they lived up to their end by delivering and you did not get it. So, the Judge will decide and who knows what s/he will decide??? Maybe it would be better to make a claim on your insurance?

I'm sorry this happened. What did your attorney say/do about this when they went for the restraining order AND showed this evidence you have on tape AND when they tried to evict you?

Dealership increased the repair cost from $500 to $4,300 and repaired the car with no authorization
answered on Mar 23, 2022
I see no reason to respond here as Mr. LeBel has handled it quite nicely.
I pay her weekly for the car. I was short on my last payment to her. I told her I need one more day to go make the money so that I wouldn’t be behind. She said that’s ok. Then early the next morning she comes and picks up the car. Can she do that? The car is registered under my name.
answered on Mar 20, 2022
Well, she did it apparently? Check your agreement to see if she has the right to do it? My guess is she likely does not have such a right. Also, if this is a landlord, any fight could get ugly, as in, you may end up losing your place of residence? You will want to sit down with an atty asap to... View More
and you cancel the order?
answered on Mar 17, 2022
Generally, I'd say that not a lawful move. You may want to see all agreements you signed or signed off on and have them send their written policy on this to you and where you can find it in the contract and/or online...

You have not asked a question, but, I'll pass on some thoughts:
a- You need to move your horses asap
b- IF you have to pay $180.00 to do it, you should
c- if you are not happy after paying it and getting your horses, you can then sue, if you want.
d- as a human... View More
