Does a car buyer have the right to get a copy of loan documents?
I pay a car loan at a buy hear/pay hear place and they have an amortization paper. They write down what I pay that week and then they initial it. I want a copy of that paper and they won’t give me one. Don’t I have the right to get a copy even though they still give me a regular receipt?

Wait so you do not have a copy of the loan agreement that you signed? Really? Yes, you re absolutely entitled to a copy of any and all documents that you have signed in this transaction and I would absolutely insist that you be given a copy as soon as possible. In fact I would give them a date certain like in one week. If they do not give them to you then I would contact the state attorney general's office consumer fraud division because this just does not sound right. I would also ask the representative you speak with for the number of the licensing bureau that licenses the dealer. File a complaint there too. Good luck.
