forcing a buyback

[Archive]

When my brother leased his truck the we where told the lease would be in his name with my mom as a co-sighner. The bank the lease is through doesn't do co-sighns so they just subbmitted my mom's paperwork and got the lease in her name while telling us the lease would be in my brothers name with my mom a a co-sighner.

What can we do to make the dealer take the truck back since we don't want it if my brothers name is not on the lease. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

How long ago were the papers signed?

And its true leases do not allow "co-signers".

The 25 of last month. I never knew leases didn't allow co-sighns. Thanks.

I know that you have within 3 days of signing the papers to bring it back and walk away. Its been almost a month for you so I honestly don't know how it will be handled. You could probably make some claim of "fraud"? I don't know if it would hold up. Surely we have a lawyer amongest us? Or someone who has been in this situation before?

Good luck with what ever direction you persue.

Be careful with the 3 day rule, it is a misconseption here in WA, does not exist. Once you sign the papers and drive away IT'S YOURS. Now if they misrepresented something that's a different story.
Good luck

Actually, the 3 day rule exists in EVERY state, including WA, but not necessarily on cars. Generally if you are solicited at home or by phone, you have the 3 days. If you go to someone on your own and sign (not sighn!) a contract, you're bound by that contract. Now, if you applied in one name and they submitted in another name, AND YOU SIGNED it, it may have been fraud, but YOU read and signed it.
Now, having said that, the bank probably doesn't want any regulatory review on their shady practices, so if you tell them you're going to the banking commission (or whoever in your state), they may be willing to work with you and get you out of your lease. That's the route I'd take... .

Ammm... why did you guys sign the lease in the first place if it wasn't what you wanted??

My mom was soppused to be the co-signer with the lease in my brothers name.

The dealer however never submitted the paper work to the bank for my brother they just sent in the paper work for my mom while telling is that that they subbmitted it with my brothers name on the lease and my mom as a co-signer. We didn't find out my brother wasn't on the lease until we got the first bill.

Sounds shady to me. I'd be po'd too. Getting anything done about it may be a long haul, though. I'd have a serious talk with the dealer first, and keep notes of everything he says. Lawyer$ may not be very intere$ted in thi$ type of ca$e for variou$ reason$. You might consider a personal effort [read private war] such as discussing the situation with the BBB, FTC, State Attorney General's Office, etc. These types of campaigns have to be implemented judiciously, however, in order to prevent self-inflicted personal injury. Squeaky wheel gets the grease.
Good Luck.

PS - If you call Bill Clinton about it I'll bet he'll feel your pain.
