Signs That You May Have a Lemon

  • You have taken the vehicle in for repair of the same problem three or more times within the first year, or first 18,000 miles after your bought it
  • You have had 8 or more different problems with the vehicle within the first year, or first 18,000 miles after your bought it
  • Your vehicle has been in the shop for repairs more than 30 days within the first year, or first 18,000 miles after your bought it
  •  Your vehicle has a deadly defect that has not been repaired after at least one attempt by the dealership
Steps You Should Take If You Believe You Have a Lemon

Keep a complete record. To prove you have a "lemon," Ohio law requires that you show that the dealership had multiple chances to repair your vehicle, but failed to do so. So, always insist on a complete copy of the repair order every time you take your vehicle to the dealership.  And be sure to verify that the repair order accurately describes each problem or symptom that you are having.

  • Be cautious of certain statements by the dealership representatives.  The dealership may have something to gain by accusing you of being responsible for the vehicle's defect. This often happens when the dealership is unable to fix the problem. The dealer may assume that you will simply give up and assume responsibility for a manufacturing defect.                  

 When Does the Lemon Law Apply?

  • Does the Lemon Law apply to leased vehicles? Yes!
  •  Does the Lemon Law apply to my RV? Yes, Ohio's Lemon Law does apply to the "mechanical" parts of your RV.

PROTECT YOUR CREDIT
Ohio consumer lawyer Amy Wells advises her clients to protect their good name by reviewing their credit report with each of the three major credit bureaus (Experian, Equifax and Trans Union) at least once per year. Consumers are entitled to a FREE copy of their credit report annually, and may obtain a copy online at www.annualcreditreport.com. Ms. Wells strongly suggests that you request your report(s) by mail.

Review the information on your report carefully, and if you find an error, or have questions about the contents of your report, contact Attorney Wells for a FREE CONSULTATION regarding steps that you may take to correct this problem. Poor credit ratings can prevent access to home loans, credit and even employment. If the credit reporting agencies fail to correct errors published on your credit report, you may also be entitled to monetary damages.
 
Do you have questions about your rights under the Fair Credit Reporting Act or other consumer laws? Contact us today. (937) 435-4000. Or email us now.
DEBT COLLECTION

A growing number of Ohio consumers are victimized by the use of abusive, deceptive, and unfair collection practices by debt collectors. Abusive debt collection practices contribute to a high number of personal bankruptcies, marital instability, job loss, and invasion of individual privacy. Federal law prohibits unfair and deceptive practices by debt collectors, regardless of whether or not you owe any money.

Consumer lawyer Amy Wells offers consumers complimentary, no obligation consultations to explore their legal rights. If you have been sued by a debt collector or debt buyer, preserve all of your documents and contact us today.

If you have been harassed by debt collectors or believe that you are the victim of unfair collection practices, contact WELLS LAW OFFICE today for a FREE consultation. Call (937) 435-4000 or email us now.
