Common Auto Lending Issues in Utah

Hidden Fees and Financing Packing

Dealers often inflate the final cost of a vehicle by “packing” financing agreements with unwanted add-ons, such as GAP insurance, VIN etching, or extended service contracts, without clear disclosure. These practices may violate the Utah Consumer Sales Practices Act, which prohibits unconscionable and deceptive acts in consumer transactions.

Yo-Yo Financing and Contract Changes

A common tactic involves “spot delivery,” where a dealer allows you to take the vehicle home, only to contact you days later claiming the financing “fell through.” They then demand you return the car or sign a new contract with higher interest rates. We examine these contracts to determine if the dealer violated the Truth in Lending Act (TILA) by failing to provide accurate, finalized disclosures.

Wrongful Repossession and UCC Article 9

Under the Uniform Commercial Code (UCC) Article 9, as adopted in Utah, a creditor must follow strict protocols during repossession. Repo agents are legally prohibited from committing a “breach of the peace,” which includes using force, intimidation, or ignoring a consumer’s explicit verbal objection. Furthermore, after repossession, the lender must provide specific notices before selling the vehicle in a “commercially reasonable” manner to pursue any alleged deficiency balance.

If your vehicle has been repossessed, the lender is legally required to prove they followed all statutory notice and sale requirements. Failure to do so may bar them from collecting any remaining balance on your account.
