A: You need an attorney that deals with consumer protection. Is the seller located in Illinois? In any event, I would recommend organizing all information relevant to this situation, including the sales contract and any written communications you have had with the seller, and consult with a consumer protection attorney individually. Many of us offer free consultations, so it will not cost you anything to obtain a professional's opinion that is tailored to the specific facts of your situation.
