Common Auto Lending Disputes in Utah

Dealers and lenders are bound by strict statutory requirements. When they fail to meet these obligations, they may lose their right to collect on a deficiency balance or may be liable for damages.

  • Yo-Yo Financing: If a dealer claims your initial financing fell through to coerce you into a contract with higher interest rates or unfavorable terms, this may constitute an unconscionable practice under the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act.
  • Hidden Fees: Financing agreements are often packed with unwanted add-ons, such as GAP insurance or VIN etching, without clear disclosure. We review these contracts for potential violations of the federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA).
  • Wrongful Repossession: Under Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC), repossession agents must not breach the peace. They cannot use physical force, threaten you, or ignore a clear, peaceful objection to the repossession.
  • Commercial Reasonableness: After a vehicle is repossessed, the lender is legally required to sell the asset in a “commercially reasonable” manner and provide you with proper notice of the sale. If they fail to comply with these notice and sale requirements, they may be barred from collecting a deficiency balance.

Legal Insight: Under the Utah Consumer Credit Code, creditors are held to specific standards regarding installment sales and the assessment of excess charges. If your vehicle was sold for a significant loss due to the creditor’s failure to act in good faith, we may be able to challenge the debt entirely.

How Cannon Legal PLLC Protects Utah Consumers

Our approach is aggressive, strategic, and focused on securing the best possible resolution for our clients. We do not merely react to collection efforts; we proactively scrutinize the creditor’s actions for technical and legal non-compliance.

  • Contractual Audits: We analyze your original purchase agreement to identify forged income figures, TILA violations, or unauthorized fees.
  • Arbitration Strategy: Many auto contracts contain mandatory arbitration clauses. We help you navigate these proceedings—or move to opt out—to ensure you have your day in court.
  • Stopping Harassment: We act as your buffer against abusive debt collection practices, ensuring all communication is handled through our office as required by the FDCPA.
  • Affirmative Litigation: In cases where violations are clear, we may pursue affirmative lawsuits against creditors. Many consumer protection statutes include fee-shifting provisions, which allow us to seek recovery of legal fees from the defendant.
