Legal Question in Consumer Law in Pennsylvania

Automobile down payment dispute

I bought a used automobile with $3000.00 cash down payment. The dealer, 30 days later, is now telling me that they have no record of my downpayment. However, I gave them all cash. I do not have the receipt that they are asking for. Although, I do have the record of sale and temporary registration, both stating $3000.00 cash on delivery. I am definitely not paying them another $3000.00 for their accounting errors. Are their claims to seek legal action against me warranted? Will they, in the end, milk me for another $3000.00?

Re: Automobile down payment dispute

Your question is a little unclear. You state that you bought the used automobile with a 3,000.00 down payment. You also state that you have a temp. registration. Who currently has possession of the vehicle - you or the seller?

Why does the temp. registration state $3000.00 cash on delivery? What is the purchase price? Why is the dealer threatening legal action against you?

I am interested in helping you with this problem. Please contact me for a free consultation.
