Common Auto Financing Disputes

Many auto lending disputes originate at the point of sale. Dealerships often engage in practices that violate consumer protection laws, which we rigorously analyze when defending your case:

  • Hidden “Junk” Fees: We look for instances where dealerships pack financing agreements with unwanted products, such as overpriced GAP insurance or VIN etching, often in violation of the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act.
  • “Yo-Yo” Financing: If a dealer attempts to rewrite your financing terms after you have already taken possession of the vehicle, they may be in violation of disclosure requirements.
  • Wrongful Repossession: Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, repossession agents must not commit a “breach of the peace.” If an agent uses force, ignores your protest, or damages your property, the repossession may be unlawful.
  • Deficiency Balance Violations: A creditor cannot simply demand a deficiency balance. They must strictly adhere to the notification requirements and ensure the sale of the repossessed vehicle was conducted in a “commercially reasonable” manner.

Legal Insight: If a creditor fails to provide proper notice of sale or violates the UCC, they may be barred from collecting a deficiency balance in Utah courts. Our goal is to demand strict proof of compliance with every statutory requirement.

The Legal Framework Governing Your Case

Our experienced team utilizes a multi-layered legal approach to challenge the legitimacy of debt claims. We evaluate your documentation against the following statutes:

Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act & Credit Code

We scrutinize agreements for deceptive or unconscionable acts. Utah law provides protections against excess charges and mandates strict compliance with installment sales disclosures. When a lender fails to disclose the true cost of credit, we seek to utilize the Federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA) to hold them accountable.

UCC Article 9 and FDCPA

In addition to UCC requirements regarding repossessions, we monitor the collection tactics used by Markone Financial LLC. If they engage in prohibited harassment, misrepresentation, or threats, they may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), which provides avenues for us to pursue affirmative claims on your behalf.

How Cannon Legal PLLC Helps You

We do not take these cases at face value. We move to dismantle the creditor’s position through:

  • Comprehensive Contract Review: Identifying forged documents, undisclosed fees, and violations of the TILA.
  • Arbitration Strategy: Analyzing your contract for mandatory arbitration clauses and determining if opting out or fighting in court is the superior strategy for your situation.
  • Stopping Collection Harassment: Asserting your rights under the FDCPA to stop illegal communication tactics.
  • Affirmative Litigation: Seeking fee-shifting provisions where available, which allows us to hold the creditor responsible for costs when they violate the law.
