Hello Vickie, based on your situation:
- Missouri's Merchandising Practices Act protects consumers from deceptive and fraudulent practices.
- If you have proof of these practices, it strengthens your case.
- Contact the Missouri Department of Revenue, they handle dealership complaints.
You might want to consider seeking legal counsel for this matter.
well I live in missouri but bought the car in illinois
Since the car was bought in Illinois, Illinois law applies. The Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Business Practices Act may provide some protection. You could consider contacting the Illinois Attorney General's Office. Legal counsel is recommended.
I have recorded calls with this dealership that can be all the proof i need but can i use thesecalls since i did not tell the dealership who called me i was recording
Hello Vickie, in Illinois, it's a one-party consent law state. This means, as long as you were part of the conversation, you can record it without notifying the other party. But it's always advised to consult with a legal professional.
Illinois is a * party and missouri is a one party
Apologies for the confusion, Vickie. You're correct. Illinois is a two-party consent state, meaning all parties involved must consent to the recording. Missouri, however, is a one-party consent state. Please consult with a legal professional for advice tailored to your situation.
so the concent laws cover businesses
Yes, the consent laws for recording conversations apply to both individuals and businesses in both states. However, it's essential to obtain legal advice to ensure compliance with all related laws.

Filing a complaint with the MO Attorney General is a good step. However, since the car was bought in Illinois, you may also want to consider filing a complaint with the Illinois Attorney General's Office. Consulting with a legal professional is advised.
