Legal Question in Consumer Law in Georgia
Deposit Refund on Cars
I gave a $1,000.00 deposit on a van October 14, 2005 but the dealership could not get financing. I asked for a refund and they will not return it. I talked to my salesman, several managers, and recently sent a letter to the CEO. One of the managers agreed I should get my deposit but has not followed up on issueing a check request. What legal actions can I take to get my deposit returned. The car is still in their position.

Re: Deposit Refund on Cars
If you signed a contract, the failure to get financing is your problem. NEVER buy a car unless you prearrange financing BEFORE you ever see any dealers. Depending on the contract language you may owe the whole price of the car or they may be able to retain your deposit or some part of it. You should have read before you signed, but read it now. You may be out of luck depending on the language. It may be worth paying a lawyer to read the contract to be sure.
