A recent vehicle repossession class action lawsuit filed in the Lycoming County Court of Common Pleas on behalf of Pennsylvania consumers, asserted that repossession notices sent by a Buy-Here, Pay-Here car dealership and its finance company violated the borrower’s consumer rights. The class action provided for debt forgiveness, credit report correction, and a cash award to all class members.
