Legal Question in Consumer Law in Louisiana

Dear Law Guru Friend,

Regardless of what your legal rights may be to

return it, you will lose those rights very promptly

if you do not at least make an attempt to do so.

If you want to return it, by all means take action

now. If the dealer/seller refuses to accept it back

as a "return" with no obligation on your part, then

you can research the law and know fully what your

legal rights are. Assuming the car was pruchased in

Louisiana, your rights are governed under a provision

of the law called "Redhibition" and that is found in the

Louisiana Civil Code, which can be accessed by going

to the Louisiana Legislature's website and clicking

on Louisiana Laws and then on the Civil Code and then

searching for the articles on Redhibition, under--I am sure--

the articles on Sales of Movables. There is more to it

all than this, but if you would like to discuss it further

with me--of course, at not charge--e-mail me your phone

number and name, and will call you to discuss this

further. Just take a chance at calling attorney Christian

Chesson's office in Lake Charles and see what anyone

who will talk to you there will tell you for free on the

phone. He also has offices in other Louisiana cities, I

do believe. But whatever you do, act now; do not

wait! If you did not put those miles on the car, and if you

would not have purchased it with those miles on it, then

you have substantial rights. My e-mail address is

[email protected], and my cellphone number

is 337-377-6086.

Sincerely,

Hardy Parkerson, J.D.
