Legal Question in Consumer Law in Virginia

Hello there--let's take a close look at the contract document you signed, then at the language of any other document it refers to. If the language prohibits your revocation of the deal in circumstances like these, we look at that very carefully to see what other options we have. If all documents your signature showed agreement with are silent, then some sort of rule of reason should apply. That's how the contract claim would proceed under common law.

There's also a potential claim under the Va. consumer protection statute, Va. Code 59.1-200, see http://leg1.state.va.us/cgi-bin/legp504.exe?000+cod+59.1-200, whose catchall subsection (A)(14) makes unlawful--and lets you sue to challenge--the "[use of] any [ ] deception, fraud, false pretense, false promise, or misrepresentation in connection with a consumer transaction." I can also see tricks we could employ under the motor vehicle dealer licensing regs, see http://www.mvdb.virginia.gov/forms/files/MVDB-31.pdf, that might hurt the dealership more than it realizes.

Contact me if you'd like to explore this. Our rates are competitive and our service is second to none, if I do say so myself. --Steve Pershing.
