Q: I just bought a 2007 Nissan Altima off the lot of a Used car dealership. They lied in the paperwork stating we gave them
a down payment of $500 when we haven't given them a penny. We drove it off the lot and they said we have 30 days to give them a down payment. We found out that we aren't even approved with a bank yet, and if we are then it is simply because they lied to the bank and gave them $500 that we never gave them. We tried to take the car back today but they proceeded to telling us to LEAVE the lot now. They won't even tell us the bank we are apparently "approved" through, and they also only had my boyfriend sign the papers I never signed ANY papers and they used our income together for an illegal income number. I never signed a single paper. What can we do?

Talk to a local consumer protection lawyer. A strong letter from a lawyer might help resolve this.
