I have heard of a lemon law? Does this law really exist? What all does it mean and who does it apply to?

It is a state by state situation, like most laws in the United States.  I don't know whether NC has it, but some states certainly do, though the details will vary by the state.\n\nLemon laws involve a consumer's right to a refund for a motor vehicle that, despite repreated attempts to fix it, continues to be defective in a significant way.  \n\nHere is a website describing laws such laws generally, and which has a link to take you to the laws of the individual states:\n\nhttp://www.autopedia.com/html/HotLinks_LemonState.html\n\n\nYou will see the basics of North Carolina's law there.

My understanding is it's basically a BILL that follows a vehicle's title.\n\nIt usually occurs when a tradesman (i.e. mechanic) files a lien for unpaid repair work.  This is his remedy to ensure that, should the vehicle be sold, his monies will be paid to him.

*shakes head in disbelief*  Why do people answer questions when they have absolutely no idea what they are talking about?\n\nDon't bother consulting a lawyer on this one.  It would cost you too much.  This is exactly what small claims is designed for -- someone like you with a case small enough that lawyers should not be involved.\n\nSue.  On the complaint, spell out the facts of your case and then ask for alternative relief.  Meaning -- ask for the car to be put in your name.  Then put down that if the court denies you the car, that you are asking for all payments made on the car to be returned to you.  Assuming the facts as you have presented them are true, then the court will almost certainly grant you one fo these two remedies, possibly with interest.

If the dealership actually accepted the car as a return...NO\n\n\nIf the dealer didn't notify them and "pay off" the loan, yes they will call and ask why you haven't paid  but once you tell them you returned the car and was released from the loan, they will contact the dealer.\n\nI would call the dealer and ask just what the heck they think they are doing.\n\nSounds like a pissy pouting company that lost a sale with a lemon and wants to stick the screws to you a little, cause you a little trouble.\n\nThere is also a law called the 30 day "lemon law".....this car sounds like it would invoke that law.\n\n==============

Before you do anything,make sure you aren't voiding your warranty. I had a friend that just put on headers and they voided his warranty for everything.

The laws may difer from state to state etc...I suggest that you call Motor Vehicles and get the answer straight from the source. If anyone would know how to fix this problem legally they would. I'm sure that this has happened to someone else at some time or another.\n If that doesn't work then you are left to think up a clever way to sell it to someone else.

Yes take it to your local store and demand a refund, you paid for a mobile phone and it is clearly faulty.  Inceedently you don't even need a reciept if it is faulty.  If they refuse to refund your money threaten them with small claims court, you are within your rights to your full money back, if it does go to court they will also have to pay court costs so it is within thier interests to just refund you.

Repos have required notification.  They only have to send one and can use it anytime during the loan period.  So if they sent you a notice in 2001 and they repoed in 2006 they are within their rights so carefully read the notice. It will probably have a disclaimer about damage incurred during a repo, they do this for a living, so they are sure to follow the law.  But if you think you have a case it's small claims for you, hiring an atty seems like good money thrown after bad.  Laws do differ state to state so you will have to do some research.

Unless the car has a big fault to it, you may be stuck with it.  If the dealer did not disclose a problem with it then they are still liable for it.

My ex-husband's car was repossesed. Then when he didn't pay off the balance due, they tried to come after me because my name was on the original loan. What a mess. No bankruptcy for me, but I know people in both Florida and California that have worked after filing bankruptcy.

There's a website with the Lemon Laws in the state of Ohio.  It really depends on who you bought it from though (ie dealer or private party).\n\nhttp://www.yourlemonlawrights.com/state_laws/ohio.htm

I have been a mechanic for some time and enjoy tuning on my hot rod, when buying things for performance for new cars(fuel injected and computers) be sure to do your research and never buy from someone who doesn't warranty and give support.

Since it has been 8months I doubt you will get anywhere with it. Not only that you have to prove that they knew about the damage....the court doest side on just assumptions. If I would you next time you buy a used car take it some place and get it looked over if the dealer ship wont allow it have the look it over and sign off that there is no damage. If you dont like this answer I would seek legal help!

Andy is absolutely correct.\n\nCredit repair companies are a scam.  They are charging you to do work that you are capible of doing yourself.  \n\nThe problem is most consumers don't know what to do. They don't know the laws, or the procedures in how to deal with credit agencies.\n\nBelow are some of the best links I have come across.   Read up, and if you need further advice contact me.
