Lake Erie Auto Credit East Coast Auro Credit Lake Erie Auto Credit Fraudsters Cleveland Ohio
On June 4, 2016 Bought High End Car with Buy / Here, Pay Here (Get Screwed Here) financing. Even though I bought the car 'AS IS" NO WARRANTY, these fraudsters offered to repair a minor problem with the transmission.
When I brought it in to THEIR repair shop, they kept the vehicle for 4 days. They would not release the Vehicle unless and until I signed a SECOND, BACKDATED CONTRACT for thousands of dollars more, saying they made a mistake on the first one.
I was FORCED to SIGN the second contract because I did not have a car, and I paid $1800 CASH DOWN-PAYMENT. Then I had the car 3 days and they repossessed it out-of-state, towed it back to Cleveland and said the fees are over $1,299 if I want it back.
AVOID these scam artists at all cost. I am planning protesters in front of their business, notifying all their competitors, and reporting them anywhere a Consumer Complaint can be filed.
Tahl Benit is the Major Master-Mind and licensee for the Dealer License. Im reporting their FRAUD, and filing suit soon.

I am confused...if you had bad credit, is that why you bought there and financed there? You didn't look eleswhere?
I would be angry too if they promised a repair, then came back with a NEW contract for lots more $$...so why didn't you WALK OUT? REFUSE to pay a lot more?
"AS IS, NO WARRANTY" is pretty standard on a USED car, right? and they offered to fix something? Sounds good so far...why are you complaining about that then?
" I was FORCED to SIGN the second contract because I did not have a car, and I paid $1800 CASH DOWN-PAYMENT."
$1800, was that 10% own?
You were NEVER FORCED..you CHOSE to go along necause you allowed yourdelf to believe you needed a car INSTANTLY to rule.. you didn' have a car the day before you bought from them, right?
Why did you decide to AGREE to ANY of these changess..bacdating is illegal..yet you agreed?? You could have put a stop right there and then. and FIGHT for your rights well before all the rest happened.
"because I did not have a car,"..... You can RENT a car or use a taxi for a few days or pay a freind to borrow their car for a week while you shopped for a new car..you had so many options all along the way...
"...they repossessed it out-of-state, towed it back to Cleveland" What happened there? you missed a payment? or are you claiming they illegally repo'ed your car?
I think there is a lot missing to your side of the story, they sound like the worst used car dealers, but you went along with all of it.
