FIGHT BACK!


     California Law provides a wealth of consumer protection remedies, including injunctions, rescission, damages, and penalties, in favor of consumers of new and used consumer products and services.

     California's 3-day right to rescind some contracts does not apply to automobile purchase and lease agreements, but fraud or misrepresentation during the sale negotiations can provide the basis to rescind the contract and get your money back.

The California Lemon Law, on the other hand, provides the right to a refund or new replacement vehicle or other product for warranty problems the manufacturer is unable to fix after a reasonable number of attempts. The Lemon Law applies to new and used consumer goods, and even covers vehicles purchased for business use if no more than 5 vehicles are owned. The Lemon Law also covers service contracts, implied warranties, and provides strict requirements for As-Is sales.

     In the vast majority of cases, the consumer protection laws provide for the recovery of attorney's fees and court costs from the dealer or other business.
