HANOVER - The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) will host a series of roundtables around the country to gather information on consumers’ experiences when buying or leasing motor vehicles. The Roundtables will explore consumer protection issues related to the sale, financing, and leasing of cars, SUVs, and light trucks.
The first Roundtable will take place on April 12 at Wayne State University Law School in Detroit. Wayne State is serving as the co-host of the event, reported F&I and Showroom.
Tom Hudson and Michael Benoit, attorneys with the firm and the magazine's Legal columnists, have been invited to participate in the first roundtable event.
