Spot Delivery and Yo-Yo Financing Lawsuit Filed in Parkville, MD
Whitney, LLP’s consumer rights lawyers filed a spot delivery and yo-yo financing lawsuit against a Parkville, Maryland car dealership after they sold our clients’ trade-in before financing was approved. In a violation of Maryland’s spot delivery law, the dealer also failed to notify our clients within 4 days when financing was not approved, and forced them into signing another finance contract with worse terms. Because the trade-in had been sold, our clients felt tremendous pressure to sign the new contract because they had no other car to use for transportation.
After our clients found Whitney, LLP online, we filed a lawsuit for them and quickly got them the money back for their trade. The dealership also paid our attorneys fees and case expenses, based on Maryland law.

Can The Dealer Sell My Trade-In Before Financing Is Approved?
No, the dealership cannot legally sell your trade-in before financing is approved. However, many dealers do this because they know that if they sell your trade-in, the car buyer will feel tremendous pressure to buy a car simply because they need transportation.
Whitney, LLP’s auto fraud lawyers have represented many clients in Maryland where the dealer sells the trade-in before financing is approved, does not tell the customer that financing is not approved, or tells the customers that they are keeping a down payment when financing is not approved. Dealers often behave illegally when trying to finance a car deal simply because most consumers do not know their full legal rights.
Whitney, LLP’s attorneys regularly represent car buyers against Maryland dealerships and unwind bad bad deals, get buyers their money back, and recover compensation for unfair practices.
