Consumer Fraud

Van Wey & Johnson, L.L.P. represents consumers who have been the victim of false, misleading, or deceptive business practices. Many states, including Texas and Oklahoma, have laws designed specifically for the protection of consumers. These laws enable the consumer to recover damages including the cost of the actual harm and mental anguish. Also, in certain cases, the business who perpetrated the fraud may have to pay treble damages (three times the amount of economic damages and in some cases three times the amount of economic damages and mental anguish damages).

We have found consumer fraud to be very prevalent in the auto industry. There are many honest and reputable car dealers, but there are also many unscrupulous dealers who regularly prey on unsuspecting consumers. Van Wey & Johnson, L.L.P. represents consumers who have been victims of predatory sales and finance tactics. Some of the most common tricks of the trade include:

  • High pressure tactics
  • Altering credit applications
  • Selling bogus warranties
  • Hidden finance charges
  • Charging for equipment which is not on the vehicle
  • Taking kick-backs from lenders to charge you a higher interest rate
  • Not disclosing vehicle has been wrecked
  • Forging signatures
  • Stuffing contracts with unapproved extras

If you are concerned that you may have been the victim of an auto dealer scam, please contact us. We will not charge you to review your case.
