Chrysler sold a car in my moms name?

Question

Hi. I was wondering what to do. Chrysler sold a car in my mothers name and used her identity, but won't admit to wrong doing. Now they want my mother to pay a car note every month for a car she didn't buy. She started a police report and now is trying to dispute the info on her credit report. Do we have grounds to sue Chrysler for fraud. It is obvious that the sales man sold it to a person that wasn't my mom to make a sale. Now my mom is driving an old car while some person is driving a new car on her dime.

Answer 1

Something does not sound right about this story.  To have a loan, your mother had to sign the papers.....in front of the salesman.  It sounds like your mother's identity was stolen and that person bought a car form that Chrysler dealership.

Have your mother visit the dealership and talk face to face with the salesman and his manager.  It should be obvious within a few seconds if your mother is the same person they sold the car to.  Once it is confirmed that they sold it to a person who was not your mother, now the dealer can assist in getting the car back.  They should be able to call Chrysler financial and at least get a hold on the payments until this gets settled.  it may take a while but the first thing your mother has to do is establish that it was not her they sold the car.

Answer 2

sue them if you have enough evidence

Answer 3

Chrysler wouldn't be the one to go after.  If someone stole her identity they'll be able to buy a car under her name.  Chrysler only has to follow the rules, if everything looked good, they can sell it.  You have to go to the police and find the people that stole her identity.

Answer 4

You wouldnt sue chrysler or the dealership.You would go after the person who stole your mom's identity!

Answer 5

That is shady! She cant file a report and make them take the car from the people who are diriving it cause its not hers, Basiically it is a stolen car

Answer 6

This is identity theft. An all too common occurrence. She needs to contact the police, everyone she does business with as well as the major credit reporting agencies to start the long process of clearing her credit up.
