RO, BCJ Client
I bought a car and loan and the car was not delivered and did not have a good title. I still owed the loan that was coming due. BCJ was able to cancel the sale, cancel the loan, and advocated for my auto insurance to be refunded to me. Then the dealership messed up paperwork on the loaner and my adult disabled son and I were surrounded by police accusing us of auto theft. Again, BCJ cleared this up on the spot. All this work was done for no charge to me!
