Missouri consumer writes:

I bought a vehicle from an acquaintance, supposedly in great running condition....well we didn't make it 50 miles. I stopped payment on the check and offered to give the vehicle back..I haven't heard from her in 9 months. I guess she plans on taking me to court. What are my rights?

A little consumer protection 101: the Attorney General can get involved when a consumer files a complaint against a company. Since this is individual v. individual (known as a private sale) we can't.

If you think you're going to get sued, you need a lawyer. By law, the Attorney General can't act as anyone's lawyer, which includes giving legal advice. The Missouri Bar has a lawyer referral service, which charges a fee.
