Thanks to Sandra Jones for the interview on CPO vehicles and what to look out for:

Certified pre-owned cars are a hot ticket with sales forecasted to break records in 2022. But is that certification worth the extra cost and are the inspections all they claim to be? In this Consumer Crackdown, national investigator Sandra Jones explains what to look for.

Those friendly door to door solar salespeople may not be so friendly if you don't sign the contract. We represent a family in Prince George's County whose signature was forged on a 25 year, $100,000 total payment solar lease contract, and were impersonated on a recorded phone call to the solar energy company.

Then, when our clients reported the fraud and explained what happened, both the solar sales company and the solar power company ignored them, and they were told to keep paying.

Of course, they are all now getting invited to court.

Our false imprisonment case against a car dealer is discussed in this article. Apparently there is more than one dealer who traps their customers, whether by blocking them in or taking the keys... either way customers can fight back and sue.

You would think that by 2021 car dealers would have wised up and fixed the broken mess that is car shopping. Many stores have adapted, but some are still relying on classic “stealership” tricks. One of the most egregious is preventing someone from leaving the showroom.

When a business refuses to let you leave and takes your freedom, fight back and take their money. In this case, the manager of a new car dealership lost their mind and refused to let our client drive away over a paperwork dispute. This is after the title was signed over to her and she owned the car. Of course, we filed a lawsuit on her behalf and she walked away with enough to pay her new car off and then some.

False imprisonment can include a car dealership or any other business or person unlawfully refusing to a person to leave, taking their keys, or otherwise restraining their movement.

If this happened to you or have you have questions, call us for a Free Consultation. 410 583 8000, www.whitneyfirm.com

Joe Biden’s victory likely will usher in a new era of consumer protection and compliance challenges for auto dealers. Four out of the five Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Commissioners will have their terms expire during the Biden Administration. President-Elect Biden will have t
