I don't really understand your present situation, but it seems your contract is missing important terms that are required under the Truth in Lending Act and probably under contract law as well. I gather -- but you did not say -- that you have some type of dispute with the dealer. Go and visit a consumer lawyer in your locality before speaking with the dealer again.
