Common Issues with Auto Financing and Collections

Utah law provides significant protections for consumers against deceptive lending and improper collection practices. We frequently assist clients who are dealing with the following common pitfalls:

Hidden Fees and Financing Irregularities

Many consumers discover that their financing agreements are packed with unwanted products like GAP insurance or VIN etching, often added without clear disclosure. Furthermore, “Yo-Yo financing”—where a dealer claims financing fell through days or weeks later to force new, unfavorable terms—is a violation of the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act. We review your TILA (Truth in Lending Act) disclosures to identify if the lender misrepresented the true cost of your credit.

Repossession and UCC Article 9 Violations

Under Utah’s adoption of the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, a repossession must be handled with strict adherence to the law. Repossession agents cannot “breach the peace.” They are prohibited from using physical force, threatening you, or ignoring a clear, peaceful objection. Furthermore, after a repossession, the lender must provide you with a proper Notification of Sale. If the vehicle was sold in a manner that was not “commercially reasonable,” the lender may be barred from pursuing a deficiency balance against you.

If your vehicle was repossessed without proper notice or in violation of state peace laws, the lender may have forfeited their right to collect a deficiency. We aim to challenge these deficiencies by auditing the creditor’s compliance with UCC Article 9.

How We Protect Utah Consumers

Our firm employs an aggressive strategy to defend your financial interests. We specialize in identifying errors in the creditor’s paperwork and holding them to the strict standards required by law. By focusing on auto issues, we understand the specific nuances that creditors often overlook.

• Contract Audits: We analyze your original loan agreement for TILA violations, forged income figures, or unauthorized charges.
• Defense Against Deficiency Lawsuits: If you are being sued for a balance remaining after a sale, we demand proof of commercial reasonableness.
• Stopping Collection Harassment: We act as your buffer, ensuring creditors comply with the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and the Utah Consumer Credit Code.
• Affirmative Litigation: In cases where violations are clear, we may pursue affirmative lawsuits that utilize fee-shifting provisions, allowing you to seek justice without the burden of excessive legal costs.
