1. Johnson & Biscone – Oklahoma Auto Fraud
Auto fraud happens quite frequently and it leaves a person not knowing what to do.
When auto fraud occurs the person may feel like they have been cheated and lied to
by dishonest auto dealers.
Auto fraud occurs when a person is mislead by an individual that sells them an
automobile. For example, when a person buys a car that has been in an accident but
is mislead by the auto dealer this constitutes auto fraud.
Therefore, selling someone a car that was previously wrecked or using illegal
financing tactics are examples of automobile fraud. Automobile fraud is clearly
against the law and there are some things that can be done when this type of fraud
occurs.
Failure to provide the customer with a buyers guide or selling someone a car that
was previously used as a rental vehicle are also examples of automobile fraud. In
addition, any violation of warranty or title is also considered automobile fraud.
Anyone engaging in fraudulent automobile practices can be prosecuted to the fullest
extent of the law.
Essentially, when you purchase a vehicle the salesperson is required by law to
disclose any and all defects that may be present at time of purchase. In addition, if
an automobile is on a recall list, the salesperson is required to disclose this
information to the buyer. After an automobile is purchased the company is required
to notify the buyer if any parts are recalled. When a part or parts of a vehicle is on
the recall list this can pose a danger to anyone driving the automobile.
When purchasing any automobile new or used it is important to create a checklist.
Your checklist should contain a listing of important questions to ask prior to making
any purchase. In addition, if you plan to purchase a used car it is best to hire a
skilled mechanic to examine the car prior to purchase.
Keep in mind there is certain paperwork that must be reviewed and signed prior to
purchasing an automobile. It may be wise to bring someone else along that can help
you to review any paperwork required prior to purchase. If you feel you are a victim
of automobile fraud it is best to report the fraud and retain a reputable attorney.
