You are correct: This is not a personal injury matter. Unless you suffered some financial loss because of the actions of this dealer, you are unlikely to recover from this dealer. However, you can protect other consumers by reporting this situation to the South Carolina Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV). Together with the South Carolina Department of Public Safety and the South Carolina Attorney General’s Office, the DMV can take action to prosecute those dealers engaging in fraudulent behavior. The Better Business Bureau is arguably ineffectual in compelling dealers to behave correctly and you are unlikely to get any satisfaction pursuing this matter with that private agency. Good Luck!
