San Diego Lemon Law Lawyer and Road Motors Settle Lawsuit Alleging Falsification of Down Payment Amounts

Online, April 13, 2012 (Newswire.com) - San Diego lemon law attorney Michael R. Vachon, Esq. has announced that the parties have reached a settlement in the lawsuit Wiltse v. Road Motors, et al. (San Diego County Superior Court Case No. 37-2010-00072138). This settlement occurred after the San Diego County Superior Court decided that it would reconsider its April 15, 2011 order forcing Plaintiff Daniel Wiltse to arbitrate his claims against the defendants, rather than litigating them in court.

One of the defendants, Road Motors, is a popular San Diego County used car dealership. The other defendant, Credit Acceptance Corporation, is a well known lender that finances vehicle purchase loans.

Mr. Wiltse's lemon law attorney asserted that the vehicle's alleged defects amounted to a breach of the implied warranty of merchantability imposed by California's lemon law. Lastly, the complaint also alleged that Road Motors falsified the down payment amounts in Mr. Wiltse's vehicle purchase contract in order to get him approved for a loan for which he otherwise would not have qualified.
