I traded in my vehicle. The dealership paid it off without the new car being financed. I asked if I could buy back my car I traded in...the response was no. The new car was never financed. Now the dealership says they're suing me for the cost of the new car that I returned. Can they do that?

Am I still responsible for him if he leaves?
answered on Oct 27, 2017
Yes you are responsible for him! He is a minor and not an adult. He is not on your lease as a renter (he can't be, he is a minor). You need to talk to a lawyer in your county about a CHINS petition or something similar.
