Are you a Victim of Fraud?
Kentucky
has a long and technical definition for "fraud" but, really,
fraud is just a lie that costs you money.
Generally, there are three kinds of fraud.
Outright Fraud
This is where you ask a question and they give you an answer and,
when they do, they know they are lying to you. This is generally
known as a "bold faced lie."
The half-truth fraud
This is where you ask a question and they give you an answer and,
when they do, they really do not know if their answer is true
or not—they just don't care. In other words, a "sin
of omission."
Fraud by concealment
This is where you may not ask the right question and they certainly
don't give you the answer because they know that if they did then
you wouldn't buy what they are selling. This is another way of
hiding the truth.
Any one of these can be an act of fraud and can cost
you hundreds or thousands of dollars.
When the fraud involves a car dealer, we usually call
it "auto fraud" and car dealers have a hundred ways to
do it! Browse through our car
dealer dictionary for a real eye opener.
Other businesses commit fraud on consumers, too. Internet
scams, repair shops, time share rip-offs, telephone solicitors,
door-to-door salespeople—just about anybody can rip you off
if you're not careful.
If you've been the victim of fraud, and complaining
on your own doesn't work, then contact

Was Your Car Damaged Before
You Bought It?
Motor Vehicle Dealers are required by law to be honest with you.
Kentucky law can require a Dealer to fully disclose prior repaired
damage before you make the purchase.
When the retail cost was more than $1,000 and the
damage occured while the Dealer had the vehicle, the law requires
the Dealer to give the Buyer a written statement of the vehicle
damage and have the Buyer sign the damage disclosure statement.

have a lemon, contact us for
