Contract Dispute

I financed my used car in Florida. The day I signed my bill of sell and traded in my old car and drove off the lot with my new (used) car my bill of sell said 18% interest. The dealership called me the next day and made me come in and sign another bill of sell with financing for 24.35% I would like to see if I could sue under the fair lending act or in plain english being pushed into a corner and not having my old car (trade in) so I felt I had to sign the new bill of sale? is there a lawsuit out there a lawyer would assist with me? also do I sue my financing company or the delearship? for knowing my old car was already traded in and making me sign a new bill of sale (contract)

Re: Contract Dispute

Why did you sign the second contract? The dealer "made" you do it? The circumstances do not amount to legal 'duress' to get you out of that contract.

I think you are stuck with the terms of second contract. I know that's not what you wanted to hear. I encourage you to get the opinions of other attorneys in this matter.
