Consumer Narrative
I had found a used car at XXXX XXXX, a large dealership based out of XXXX XXXX, WI, and had gone in to test drive it, applied for financing, submitted all requested documents to the dealership needed for financing the car and set up a date for them to deliver the car. They had delivered the car to my house, had me sign the purchase contract, financing paperwork, and the loan agreement. I had also signed the same documents electronically and received my copies of the documents that were also signed by the dealership. I gave them a check for {$4000.00}, which was the down payment I was making on the vehicle, which cleared from our account a few days later. They then reached out to me 7 days later to tell me that the financing was not completed with the bank yet and they needed more information. I had informed them that I had a recent change in my employment and I was going back to my previous employer after a few weeks, but I was in between jobs for the time being. They then told me that I no longer then could have the car and that they were going to be taking the car back because it belonged to the dealership, despite me having already signed all of the documents with the dealership. My first payment was not yet due for another 4 weeks according to my loan contract that the dealership and I had both signed. They had demanded that they needed drivers to come get the car or I needed to take it back, and I told them that I needed to look into things because I had already signed legal documents purchasing the car. They proceeded to call me 9 times within 20 minutes and sent me several text messages threatening to escalate things further and using tactics to try intimidating me into complying. I have since returned the car to the dealership due to their threats and harassment. I was also never made to sign an off site disclosure informing me of my rights in the state of Wisconsin associated with an off site sale.
