Im asking this on behalf of my friend, because she is without internet.
My friend purchased a car from a used car company. Within a month, it was totaled in a traffic collision. Her car was covered by State Farm auto insurance, and had gap insurance. The used car company told her she had to buy another vehicle from them, or that they would sue her. They conned her into buy a 4 thousand dollar car, for 12 thousand. She is currently buying a 2003 Mitsubishi Lancer ES, for 500 dollars a month.
So now she is stuck in a contract, buying a car for almost triple its worth because she was told she would be sued, and because she is only 20 and this is her first time buying a car and didnt know what she was doing. Is there anything she can do?
It seems rather illegal to threaten to sue her, considering Im confident that State Farm would have covered the remaining balance of the first vehicle.
