Protect Your Vehicle & Your Rights
Deceptive loan terms and wrongful repossessions shouldn’t run you off the road. We help Utah consumers hold auto lenders accountable and resolve deficiency disputes.
Are You Facing Legal Action from BMG Auto Group in Utah?
If you have received notice of a lawsuit or aggressive collection activity from BMG Auto Group, you are likely feeling the weight of an overwhelming financial situation. In Utah, auto lending disputes are governed by strict state and federal regulations. You have rights as a consumer, and Cannon Legal PLLC is prepared to help you assert them.
When a third-party creditor initiates legal action, they rely on your lack of knowledge regarding complex statutes like the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) and the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act. We fight to hold these creditors to the highest standards of accountability.
Common Tactics and Legal Protections in Utah
Auto lending cases often involve systemic issues that may invalidate a creditor’s claim. Understanding these common practices is the first step in building a robust defense for your Auto Issues.
Hidden Fees and Yo-Yo Financing
We frequently encounter cases involving “pack” financing, where unwanted add-ons—such as GAP insurance, credit life insurance, or VIN etching—are surreptitiously included in your loan balance. Furthermore, if you were a victim of “yo-yo financing”—where a dealer claims financing fell through days or weeks later to pressure you into higher interest rates—we examine these contracts for violations of the Truth in Lending Act (TILA).
Repossession Rights and Commercial Reasonableness
Under Utah’s adoption of UCC Article 9, repossession must be handled with strict adherence to the law. A “breach of the peace” during a repo attempt can invalidate the creditor’s right to pursue a deficiency balance. Additionally, following a repossession, a lender is required to send a specific Notification of Sale. If they fail to sell the vehicle in a “commercially reasonable” manner, they may be legally barred from collecting a deficiency balance against you.
Protecting your rights begins with documentation. Do not communicate directly with the creditor’s attorneys without first ensuring your position is legally sound. We work to challenge the validity of the debt and the procedures used by the plaintiff.
Abusive Collection Practices
If BMG Auto Group or their representatives are harassing you, using deceptive language, or threatening actions they cannot legally take, they may be in violation of the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and Utah state law. We are experienced in documenting these violations to leverage your defense or, where applicable, initiate affirmative litigation.
