What is the name of your state (only U.S. law)? FL
I recently purchased a used car from a FL auto dealer. At time of purchase I prepaid a fixed amount for registration fees. The amount appears on the bill of sale as registration fees. I also asked if there are any additional fees I should be aware of and the answer was NO and if actual registration fees will be lower I will receive a refund for the difference.
After few weeks I received a lower refund check amount than expected from the auto dealer. After checking the amounts I discovered to my surprise that additional "service fees" were added by a third party business that handled the registration. I received a receipt for the registration including the overcharged "service fees" from a the third party
Is this practice legal? Do I have any legal recourse?
Again, these service fees were never disclosed on the bill of sale and only discovered after receiving the refund check.
Your help is greatly appreciated
