What is the name of your state? KS
Hello, I have a question and I'm not sure what I can do about it. I recently purchased a car in November of 2007 and allowed them to run my credit to see if they could match or beat the interest rate I was preapproved for through another financial institution. I ended up financing the car through the dealership. About a week or so later I received a credit card in the mail from Dodge and thanking me for applying. I never signed up for this credit card and proceeded to have it cancelled and submitted a fraud report with them about this. I later found out from the dealership that Chrysler does this to people they approve for credit in buying a car. The dealership is aware of this program and did not inform me nor did any of the paperwork I signed. I allowed them to check my credit for the reason of getting an auto loan and not a credit card.
I was told that the dealership violated privacy laws related to credit and credit cards. I would like to sue them for this violation and was wondering if this suite has validity and if so how much should I ask for. Are there laws limiting the amount asked for regarding cases such as this? What would an appropriate amount be for this type of violation? Any advice would be appreciated.
Thanks
