howard with patrick fraser. a man bought a truck, or so he thought. and after looking arouou, he found what he liked at a used car lot in hollywood. >> i traded in my truck for a thousand andid 1250 for a down payment. >> reporter: the sales man wrote down he gave 1250 cash deposit and let's see if we can get financing for the rest. >> they said i got approved and hen they drive off the lot wit after i signed the paper work. >> like many people that buy a

financing was approved when he drove off with the pickup truck. but the paper work said all though i have been able to take the above described vehicle, i understand that financing for the vehicle has not been finalized. this is known as a spot delivery. and then... >> i received a phone call saying i wasn't approved of the loan. they waned me to bring the tck back in. >> reporter: he said okay but. when i asked about my truck, they said they sold it right away a a said they would not refund me my money. >> reporter: ty were not going to give him his suv back and not returning his $1,250 deposit. his mother made a call to try and straighten things out. >> i said why don't you give the money back and he will bring back the vehicle. they say oh we don't give problem. >> you're not like i don't

>> reporter: he wasn't approved for financing. can they make him return their pickup truck an not return his old suv and cash deposit? legally devon is required to return it and legally the car tealer has to return the down payment, the trade in or fair maet value of it. and the dealership can charge him for ewing the truck and deduct it from the down payment they returned. >> reporter: we spoke to the used car dealer. even though he put down $1,250, he gave them $200 and promised to pay the rest later. they didn't offer to return money but would get his suv back and gv it to himim hen he returned the truck. he did give them $1,250 like the paper work said and nancy said they won't return the vehicle until they get everything back. the dealer's response. >> they're threatening to repo sess it. >> reporter: he has the deal

>> if you're convinced you're right, be aware. if they're able to repo sess it, you will have to pay for that repo seion. you could be charged with theft for keeping the truck after you return it. it's better to return the vehicle an let a judge decide how much money you get back. >> reporter: deven is not going to return the truck. while he's waiting for his day in court to fight the used car dealer, he is going on the offensive as well. >> we file complaints with all the government agencies to help resolve the issue. >> reporter: they're determined. we will keep an eye on it and let you know how it turns out. bottom line, if your financing is not finalized, don't take their vehicle. take your own vehicle and wait until you're definitely approved before you get the vehicle. a little patience can avoid a big mess. sign up with a problem you need approve value of?
