I bought a car through a broker and got a decent deal. The broker picked up the car from the dealership and I picked it up from his company parking lot after I paid the deposit in cash (received receipt) and signed the contract. A month later, the dealership contacted me saying the check broker wrote to the dealership for my deposit is bad and threathened to take my car back unless I pay the deposit (again). They were asking me for the deposit because the broker apparently committed fraud and vanished after emptied out his accounts.
Isn't there a regulation that protects comsumers from this type of incidents? As the dealership say, am I reliable for the deposit again since it was my agent working for me.
