hi, my little bro bought a car in utah in october. he traded in his old car for $1000 and my parents co-signed for him and also gave $1000 down. he has never recieved a contract, payment book, or his plates. after calling every other day since he bought it to find out where his payments should go they would just tell him to send it to wells fargo. well, gee, he doesnt have an account number so where did it go? nowhere. he did his own research, wells fargo has never heard of him. repeatedly he calls the dealer again and again. where are my plates? he'd ask. no answer. he drove on expired dealer permit for 2 months! now the way i look at it is since the car was not properly registered he technically wasnt insured during all of this. next part to this, two lawyer friends advised him to return his car and get his down back. he did. however, no money back. apperantly utah passed a new law last may that if you return your car the dealer can charge you mileage which just so happens to come to $2000. my little bro had pretty much done everything right, except getting his hands on a contract from the get go. my question is can he do anything to get his money back? and should his lawyer friends help him since they advised him? mel

I am a law school graduate. What I offer is mere information, not to be construed as forming an attorney client relationship.

Just because LAWYER FRIENDS gave him a few suggestions, doesn't mean an attorney client relationship was implied or formed.

As to what he should do, this is something that covers many statutory territories, including breach of certain federal warranties and consumer protection laws, as well as criminal and civil fraud.

So, he need to get a Utah attorney to represent him: a transactional attorney who handles fraud cases is his best bet. for that try http://www.attorneypages or the Utah State Bar lawyer referral program.


Also, read up on some stuff:
