Car Dealership Fraud — Denver, Colorado
The dealership ripped you off.
Now we make them pay.
Car dealerships in Colorado use deceptive tactics that cost buyers thousands — and most buyers never fight back. Red Law does. We sue car dealerships on contingency, meaning you owe nothing unless we win.
⚖ Contingency fee — no recovery, no fee
Dealerships count on you not fighting back
Car dealerships in Colorado and across the country use a playbook of deceptive practices designed to extract money from buyers who don’t know their rights. Spot delivery scams, rolled-back odometers, hidden financing fees, and bait-and-switch advertising are not just unethical — they are illegal. Federal and Colorado state law gives you the right to sue and to recover damages, attorney fees, and sometimes punitive damages.
Red Law represents car buyers who have been defrauded by dealerships. We take these cases on contingency — if we don’t win, you don’t pay.
Common dealership fraud tactics
Yo-yo financing (spot delivery)
Dealership lets you drive home, then calls days later claiming financing fell through and demands a higher rate or more money down.
Odometer fraud
Rolling back or tampering with odometer readings to disguise a vehicle’s true mileage and inflate its value.
Bait-and-switch advertising
Advertising a vehicle at a price or with features that don’t exist once you arrive at the lot.
Hidden fees & add-ons
Burying dealer markups, unnecessary warranties, paint protection, and other add-ons in financing paperwork without clear disclosure.
Salvage & lemon title concealment
Selling a vehicle with a salvage, flood, or rebuilt title without disclosing its history.
Financing & TILA violations
Misrepresenting loan terms, interest rates, or monthly payments in violation of the Truth in Lending Act.
Laws that protect you
You have powerful legal tools on your side:
- Colorado Consumer Protection Act (CCPA) — Prohibits deceptive trade practices. Successful plaintiffs can recover actual damages plus attorney fees.
- Federal Odometer Act — Odometer tampering entitles victims to three times actual damages or $10,000, whichever is greater, plus attorney fees.
- Truth in Lending Act (TILA) — Requires accurate disclosure of loan terms. Violations entitle buyers to statutory damages and attorney fees.
- FTC Used Car Rule — Dealers must disclose known defects. Violations support fraud and misrepresentation claims.
- Colorado Lemon Law — Protects new car buyers whose vehicles have repeated, uncorrected defects.
How our contingency fee works
Red Law handles qualifying car dealership fraud cases on a contingency fee basis. You pay no attorney fees upfront and nothing at all if we don’t recover money for you. Our fee is a percentage of what we recover. Many of the laws protecting car buyers also require the dealer to pay your attorney fees if you win — which means in many cases, the dealership pays both sides.
What to do right now
If you believe a dealership defrauded you, do the following immediately: save all paperwork (purchase agreements, financing documents, window stickers, advertising), document all communications with the dealership, and do not return the vehicle or sign anything new until you speak with an attorney.
Then call Red Law. The consultation is free, and time limits apply to some claims.
