Common Auto Lending Disputes in Utah
Auto financing involves complex documentation that can sometimes mask predatory practices. We scrutinize your contracts and the conduct of the lender to identify potential violations:
- Hidden Fees and Packed Products: Dealerships may bundle unnecessary products like GAP insurance or VIN etching without clear disclosure, violating the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act.
- Yo-Yo Financing: If a dealer attempts to rescind your financing agreement after you have taken possession of the vehicle to coerce you into higher interest rates, this may be a violation of the Consumer Credit Code.
- Wrongful Repossession: Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, repossession agents in Utah must not commit a “breach of the peace.” If they use force, intimidation, or enter a locked garage, the repossession may be unlawful.
- Commercially Unreasonable Sales: If your vehicle was repossessed, the lender must dispose of it in a “commercially reasonable” manner and provide proper notice of the sale. Failure to do so may bar them from collecting a deficiency balance.
- TILA Violations: The federal Truth in Lending Act (TILA) requires clear disclosure of your APR and finance charges. Inaccurate disclosures can provide significant leverage in a debt defense strategy.
Legal Advice: Do not ignore letters from creditors or debt collectors. If you believe your rights have been violated, document all interactions, keep records of your contract, and contact experienced counsel before agreeing to any settlement or payment plan.
