Common Issues in Auto Financing Disputes

The lending landscape is heavily regulated to protect consumers from deceptive practices. We scrutinize agreements for several common pitfalls:

• Hidden Fees and “Packing”: We investigate whether your contract includes unauthorized “junk” fees, such as bundled GAP insurance, extended warranties, or VIN etching, which often inflate the principal without your explicit consent.
• “Yo-Yo” Financing Tactics: If a dealer allowed you to drive off the lot only to later claim financing “fell through” to force you into a contract with a higher APR or less favorable terms, this may constitute a violation of the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act.
• Wrongful Repossession: Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, repossession agents are strictly prohibited from committing a “breach of the peace.” If an agent used force, intimidated you, or ignored a physical objection during the repossession of your vehicle, the creditor’s right to collect a deficiency balance may be forfeit.
• Commercial Reasonableness: After a repossession, a lender must act in a “commercially reasonable” manner when selling the vehicle. They are also legally required to provide specific notices before and after the sale. Failure to adhere to these notice requirements often provides a valid defense against a deficiency lawsuit.

Our Statutory Defense Strategy

Our approach at Cannon Legal PLLC is rooted in the rigorous application of consumer protection statutes. We examine your case through the lens of:

Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act: We analyze the transaction for deceptive or unconscionable acts that mislead the borrower regarding the true nature of the credit agreement.

Federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA): We audit your contract to ensure the APR, finance charges, and total payments were disclosed accurately. Even minor inaccuracies in these disclosures can provide significant leverage in a debt dispute.

Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9: We demand proof that the creditor followed strict procedural requirements regarding notice, sale, and accounting of the proceeds.

Whether you are dealing with unfair collection practices or an impending lawsuit, our experienced attorneys aim to identify leverage points to negotiate a resolution or provide a vigorous courtroom defense. We often utilize state and federal fee-shifting provisions, which may require the opposing party to cover legal costs if we prevail in demonstrating a statutory violation.
