§ 2721 Fraud Remedies In Sales

Key Takeaways

  • •If someone lies or tricks you in a sale, you can cancel the deal or ask for money back.
  • •Even if you cancel the deal or return the item, you can still ask for extra money if you were harmed.
  • •All the usual fixes for broken deals (like suing for money) also apply if someone lied to you.

Example

You buy a used car, and the seller says it has never been in an accident. Later, you find out it was in a bad crash and has hidden damage.

You can return the car and get your money back. You can also ask for extra money to cover the trouble caused, like repair costs or rental car fees while you dealt with the problem.
