Auto Fraud Attorneys Win Against Deceptive Car Dealership

LOS ANGELES - June 1, 2016 - PRLog -- Many used car buyers don't know that they need to hire an auto fraud lawyer until they find out that something is seriously wrong with their car. In California, when a car buyer finds out that their dealer has engaged in dishonest and deceptive practices, it can be very beneficial to hire skilled auto fraud lawyers to pursue a claim against the dealer.

Car dealerships sometimes hide the true condition of a defective car in order to make the sale. California offers strong protection for buyers against dealers engaged in deceptive practices, making it possible for litigation attorneys to immediately sue the car dealership to cancel a contract and get a buyer's money back. Consumer Action Law Group has a strong team of auto dealer fraud lawyers who have been successful in many cases against dealers that engage in fraud and deceit.

In California, there are very strong consumer laws that prevent a dealer from hiding information about a defective car. State laws require a dealer to tell a buyer when a car has been involved in an accident or has frame damage at the time of the purchase. Another violation of the California consumer law is to sell the car for more than the advertised price.

Auto dealer fraud also occurs when a dealer divides down payments into partial payments not shown on the contract; also called deferred down payments. Car dealerships use deferred down payments to get a buyer approved for a larger loan amount, causing them to pay thousands of dollars more for the loan.

Illegal car dealership practices:

1. Selling a car with prior accidents or frame damage as "clean" or "great condition";

2. Charging more than the advertised price on line 1(a) of the contract;

3. Dividing down payments into smaller amounts to pay later.

Under the California consumer law, car buyers are protected against auto dealer fraud. All California dealers are required, by law, to give accurate information about the condition of a vehicle at the time of the sale. In the event dealers violate the law, dealers are required to compensate the buyer for their loss. Usually, a car buyer who is ripped off will get their money back and get out of the contract.
