Brown's Arlington Nissan ripoff dishonest dealership transaction, fraudulent financing Arlington Virginia
I purchased a vehicle on Dec. 04. Few weeks later, I was called back into dealership and Brown's Arlington Nissan try to raised the interest rate. I immediately declined to sign a new contract and requested to get my trade-in vehicle back. After negotiations among themselves, the finance manager for the 2nd time apologize for the inconvenience, gave me a full tank of gas and I left the dealership for the 2nd. time approved.
In January 05, I started receiving phone calls from Brown's Arlington Nissan (Jay from Finance) that they needed additional information regarding my income and a check for the 1st car payment. I advise them that I would not write any additional checks payable to them and that I wanted to contact the bank directly because I was also getting several phone calls from the bank of the vehicle that I traded in, because Brown's did not pay them. They refuse to provide me with that information.
Brown's Arlington Nissan (Jay), the note holder for the vehicle that I traded and myself had several conversations reqarding payment for my trade in. Their answer was that they couldn't pay my trade-in until they get funded. They also told my current note holder that the car was approved and that it shouldn't take longer than a week to fund. I have contacted them to use those recordings when is time to go to court.
When they realize that I was not giving them any additional money, they are now requesting that I return the vehicle. Now, I am stuck with a REPOSSESION in my credit report, without the $1,000 that I gave as a downpayment and having to pay the car payments from December 2004 to February 2005, including late fees.
I am willing to take this situation to the last consequences because Brown's Arlington Nissan needs to treat people with respect. This is an out-rageous rip-off!!! If there is anyone out there that has been through this type of situation and can help me, please contact me as soon as possible.

Sounds like a known scam

what you described sounds like a known scam. Carbuyingtips.com had 10 scams they listed. Look for that. It's where they call you in 2 weeks telling you to come sign new papers because the deal fell through.
I'm pointing this out because I just started working at browns. And knowing they've stuck someone with a repo on a car that they CLAIM never even got completed as a deal anyway upsets me. I'm a strong consumer advocate so I'm going to be watching closely how this plays out.
Please respond with how you got this worked out, I know it's been sometime, but I'd like to think they din't make your credit worse by doing this. Because you could also charge in court that's malice and intentional to prevent you from being able to get a car from anyone else if you don't follow through with this one. In fact you may remember they probably told you about something like that. If they did that could fall under an extortion kinda thing. Not saying it is, and I'm not a lawyer so talk to an attorney but this sounds like something they were more aware of when it started than they're letting on.
find the carbuyingtips.com list and read up on those scams. Also see if you got told that you can get better interest rate if you get extended warranty, etc. like I said I just started at one. I'll be keeping an eye out for things like that.
