My wife was in a situation similar to this. She went with a friend to a
car dealer. She say a car she liked but couldn't afford (she didn't even
have a driver's license at the time). The salesman convinced her to fill
out a credit application "just to see if she could get credit". 2 days
later, the dealership called her and said she had been approved and could
she come down and make a $400 down payment. She explained that a) she
didn't have $400, b) she couldn't afford $200 a month payments, and c) she
couldn't drive the car anyway. The dealer responded that to refuse to buy
the car would be a breech of contract and they would sue her unless she
paid a $1000 "release fee". ( I actually found this part amusing since she
couldn't pay $400 + $200/month, how did they expect her to pay the $1000 )
I went down to the dealer and tried to reason with them but to no avail so
I threatened to write a letter to the editor of the local papers including
the base paper about this. They quickly capitulated and gave up their
extortion attempts.
The point of my ramblings is that this might work for you as well or you
could talk to your local Chamber of Commerce.
