Thank you for your LawGuru question. The answer is, several. Including possibly Consumer Fraud, which includes "triple" damages and attorney's fees. Please contact me ASAP so that we may explore your options and protect your legal rights. 973-921-0600.

Kindly note and remember that my response is merely a general comment on the law related to your question, and NOT legal advice or opinion. Also, your question and my response does NOT create an attorney-client relationship between us. You cannot rely upon what I have written, because I do not have all of the information that I need to advise you or render an opinion. Even simple facts you have not shared can completely change my answer. For me to give you legal advice or opinion, you would need to hire me to be your lawyer, and then we would need to discuss this in detail and go over the documents.

As a Franchise Attorney I can only add the following. Assuming you're the innocent party here, have paid for the car, etc., you are entitled to the license plates. Be sure to document everything that's been said and done. If you haven't done so already, send them a registered letter with all this information and a demand for the license plates. Consult with a good business or franchise attorney in your area for specific advice.
