Full question:
I purchased a car on Jan. 19, 2009 thinking everything was taken care of with my loan. I had all the paperwork, took out insurance, and bought a tag. I receive a call today saying the bank who was going to do my loan has refused (10) months have gone by and I need to redo the paperwork or they get the car. I paid $5000.00 down payment on the car which they would refund. What are my options?

Answer:
When you buy a car, you typically sign a promissory note with a lender to secure financing. This note outlines the payment terms, and the lender usually provides the funds to either you or the dealership. After paying for the vehicle, you receive the title, which includes a lien from the bank. With the title, you can register the car and obtain insurance.
It’s important to review all loan documents you received. Check for any clauses that allow the bank to rescind the loan. The loan agreement is a contract, and its terms will dictate how to handle this situation. If the bank has violated the agreement, you may have options for recourse.
