Facing Legal Action from Credit Choice Motors? Protect Your Rights in Utah

When you enter into an auto financing agreement, you expect the terms to be transparent, fair, and compliant with federal and state law. Unfortunately, many Utah consumers find themselves in disputes with creditors like Credit Choice Motors over alleged deficiency balances, vehicle repossessions, or predatory lending practices. At Cannon Legal PLLC, we provide aggressive advocacy for borrowers targeted by these creditors.

If you are facing a lawsuit or aggressive collection efforts, you need to understand your rights. Dealing with complex auto issues requires a firm grasp of both state statutes and federal protections. Whether you are dealing with a deficiency claim or illegal collection tactics, we aim to hold creditors accountable to the standards set by law.

Common Lending and Repossession Disputes

Deceptive practices in the auto industry often take several forms. If you suspect your financing or the subsequent repossession of your vehicle was handled improperly, you may have legal defenses available.

• Hidden Fees and Financing “Packing”: Dealerships sometimes inflate the cost of your vehicle by “packing” the contract with unwanted products, such as GAP insurance or VIN etching, often without clear disclosure.
• “Yo-Yo” Financing: You may have been told your financing was finalized, only to be contacted weeks later claiming the deal fell through, demanding you return the car or sign a contract with a higher APR.
• Wrongful Repossession: Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, a repossession must be performed without a “breach of the peace.” If an agent used force, broke locks, or ignored your verbal objection, the repossession may be unlawful.
• Deficiency Balance Disputes: If your vehicle was repossessed and sold, the lender must send a legally required Notice of Sale. Furthermore, they are mandated to sell the vehicle in a “commercially reasonable” manner. If they fail to do so, they may be prohibited from collecting a deficiency balance.

Legal Insight: Under the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act and the Uniform Commercial Code, creditors are held to strict standards. If a creditor fails to provide proper notices or engages in deceptive practices, you may have the leverage to challenge their claim or pursue affirmative litigation.
