Auto Loan Lawyers Protecting Your Rights in

Auto Loan & Repossession Lawsuits

Being sued over a car loan can feel overwhelming — especially when lenders or collectors inflate balances, miscalculate fees, or pursue you long after the vehicle is gone. Our auto loan lawyers defend consumers facing repossession-related lawsuits, auto deficiency claims, and collection actions. While our team has extensive experience handling cases in New York, we represent clients nationwide and understand how auto finance companies operate across different states.

Understanding Auto Loan Lawsuits & Why They Happen

Auto loan deficiency lawsuits are one of the most common types of vehicle-related litigation. After a repossession or voluntary surrender, lenders often sue borrowers for the "deficiency" — the remaining balance after the vehicle is sold. However, these balances are often incorrect due to missing documentation, unfair sale practices, or inflated fees.

Consumers frequently come to us when they are:

  • Being sued for a car loan after repossession
  • Facing lawsuits with inflated deficiency balances
  • Receiving letters with missing or inaccurate paperwork
  • Being contacted by multiple collectors for the same debt

We help clients understand their rights and expose improper lender practices that can lead to dismissal or significant reduction.

When You Need an Auto Finance Fraud Attorney

Not all auto loan cases stem from missed payments — many arise from dealership fraud or unfair financing practices. If you believe your loan terms were manipulated or misrepresented, our auto finance fraud attorney can investigate and pursue relief.

Signs of auto finance fraud include:

False income or credit information on your application

Undisclosed add-on products increasing loan cost

Incorrect interest rates

Yo-yo or spot delivery scams

Deceptive dealership promises

If something about your loan felt dishonest from the beginning, you may have legal grounds to challenge it.
