Most people don't know their Attorney General has a web site. You should visit your Attorney General's web site before you go car shopping. Many attorney general web sites have consumer information and tips on avoiding car dealer scams, lemon laws, and how to file a lemon law complaint. You can file other car dealer complaints as well on your attorney general web site. You can usually email them or fill out an online complaint form to get started. In 1994 I successfully used the Florida Attorney General's office against a Pontiac dealer who cheated me on my extended warranty. While performing covered warranty work on my fuel tank, they welded a penny to plug a leak. That was pretty stupid, not to mention a safety violation, not that GM cares, their joke of a complaint line sided with the dealer as usual. Of course the penny corroded and leaked and I filed a complaint with the Florida State Attorney. In Florida the Consumer Affairs Division handles car dealers and they forced the Pontiac dealer to reimburse me $350 for the new gas tank. Once they saw my photos it was a no brainer. The most common car dealer crimes you should be contacting your attorney general about are the ones that most people don't even know are crimes: The forced extended warranty or the forced credit life insurance. It's been a felony for at least 10 years in most states, yet many car dealers still pull this scam on you, especially if you have bad credit. They tell you that you must buy the extended warranty or the credit life insurance, or else the bank will not finance you. This is NOT true, and by law no bank is even allowed to make you buy anything to a get the loan. If this happens to you, report it to you attorney general immediately, because if you don't someone else, maybe even you, will fall victim to their crimes. Other crimes to report are failure to disclose everything in writing on leases as required by FTC's Regulation M, and not disclosing your trade-in value on the lease. Florida is a great state for cracking down on cheating dealers and manufacturers. Florida has already motioned against Toyota, Ford, and Mazda for deceptive leasing practices, advertising,you name it. If you're moving to another state or looking for information on drivers licenses, try DMV Web Sites For All 50 States or Drivers License Web Sites For ALL 50 States. |

Why you must get a copy of your driving record
I highly suggest you get a copy of your drivers license record BEFORE shopping for insurance. Many of us have errors in our driving report that will drive up
insurance rates. A few years ago I paid a traffic ticket, but they never credited my driving record, nor did they credit me for going to driving school! How did
I find out? Allstate canned me! That's not the way you want to find an error on your driving record. I saw an article in the paper where the clerk of the court
admitted they had a 20% error rate, and shrugged it off as normal. So lucky 20% me had my license suspended by mistake. Don't let this happen to you! Trust me, you
don't want to go through what I did to fix it.. If you go to driving school or pay any fines, keep the receipt in your wallet for 3 years or until you renew your
license! If you get pulled over by the police, it's your only salvation from being dragged off to jail for driving with a suspended license. Just like your credit
history determines your loan approval, your driving record determines how cheap your insurance will be.
