Q: What should I do if my auto financial comp refuse to comply with my right of recession paperwork and stole my car

I mailed my right of recession letter in June. I called and spoke to the company after they took my car and they said the letter isn’t valid. The letter was indeed valid and now they refuse to give me my remedies, and downpayment because they took my car back.

A: A right of rescission is generally limited to door-to-door sales and refinancing of mortgages, not cars. Dealerships are not going to let you drive their cars for three days, put mileage on the vehicle and then take it back. Unless there was a clause in your contract giving you this right, any letter sent to them was invalid. We cannot read your contract in this online forum so you would need to hire an attorney to review it if you are not sure.
