Auto fraud encompasses a wide variety of illegal practices and dealership scams that hurt consumers. Fraudulent dealership practices cost consumers like you, millions of dollars in unnecessary repair fees each year. Both new and used car fraud is on the rise as more vehicles are being sold by dealerships while the nation overcomes the most recent recession, the Consumer Center for Resources is helping consumers fight back.

Unfortunately, car dealer fraud is not typically detected until the damage has been done. The buyer has usually spent too much time and money trying to figure out what is wrong with their vehicle. Some of the most common car dealer scams involve predatory car loans. This is when the consumer is not given all the information about the contract they are signing before they drive off the lot. We are familiar with fraudulent dealership practices, and we are happy to assist consumers with getting out of bad contracts in many cases.

Recently, as a result of tough times for consumers, we have seen a wide range of fraudulent dealership practices in new and used car purchases. Dealerships are required to follow strict regulations, however many times they stray from the rules in an effort to make more money, charging the consumer much more than they should.

Many scams start with low trade-in estimates or bait and switch changes in the price of the vehicle. But things can get worse from there. Material facts, such as the condition or price of the car must be clearly stated in the contract language in order to comply with the regulations set forth by consumer protection laws.

There are many aspects of the contract that often cause confusion for the buyer. Lumping fees together is one tactic that prevents the consumer from being able to see exactly what they are paying for. The same applies where dealerships must provide one document, rather than many, to the buyer to keep the process as clear and simple as possible.

Backdated contracts, selling used cars as new, not disclosing certified defective vehicles (also known as “lemons”), or not honoring the 10-day cancellation policy can result in the consumer being stuck with a car that will cost them much more money in the long run. The Consumer Center for Resources will do everything we can to fight these types of fraudulent dealership practices and get you the satisfaction that you deserve.

The term “Used Car Salesperson” has had a bad connotation since people first started buying pre-owned vehicles. While many do a great job, there is still cause for concern. One reason consumers have a negative view of salespeople is they usually rely solely on making a commission. This can make them so eager to get a sale they cut corners and act shady. Used Car fraud has spiked during the past several years, and we have seen a number of clients fall victim to scams that are not only illegal, but dangerous.

Used cars that have failed inspection or have been involved in unreported accidents are potentially dangerous to whoever is behind the wheel. Some used car dealerships have also been known to commit odometer fraud, where they misrepresent the total number of miles the car has been driven.

Warranty fraud occurs when a dealer tells the buyer that the vehicle is still covered when the coverage has actually expired. Imagine the headache that you would have to deal with when you find out that all repair costs have to come out of your pocket for something you thought was under warranty!

If you have been a victim of any fraudulent dealership practices mentioned above, the Consumer Center for Resources may be able to help you get satisfaction. Our network of attorneys have successfully sued car dealers for fraudulent practices on behalf of consumers just like yourself.
