The Illinois Commercial Code governs the sale of goods, such as cars.  If your car has a substantial defect, not known to you at the time of sale, you may be able to "unwind" the deal and get your money back.  This is called 'rejection" or "revocation of acceptance".

The Illinois Consumer Fraud Act prohibits deceptive or unfair acts or practices, and is applicable to a wide variety of conduct.  In a car case, it applies to undisclosed accidents, fraudulent sales techniques, odometer fraud, and other deceptions car dealers may have engaged in when selling cars.

Truth in Lending Act.  This act regulates disclosure of financing terms.  It is applicable to car cases when the dealers force consumers to buy unnecessary insurance, claiming it would improve their chances of getting financing, or when the dealers do not allow consumers to take unsigned copies of their finance contracts to shop around for a better rate.

Illinois Lemon Law.  This legislation is familiar to many consumers.  However, there are also other federal laws or state laws that may apply to a given consumer fraud case.

Fraud can be a representation of a fact that a person relies on in taking action such as paying money, that had the accurate facts been known, the person would not have paid money.
