Re: Contract Law

The Truth in Lending Act could give the buyer the right to rescind and defenses against collection by the acceptor. Also the acceptor could have an action against the seller for recision of the agreement, negligent or intentional misrepresentation or breach of contract. Intentional misrepresentation has a one-year statute of limitations. The others have three year limitations.
