1 Answers
If you are defrauded when buying a used car, you should contact the Administration for Industry and Commerce. Here is some knowledge about being defrauded when buying a used car: 1. Legal Provisions: According to Article 55 of the "Consumer Rights and Interests Protection Law of the People's Republic of China," if a business operator commits fraud in providing goods or services, it shall, at the request of the consumer, increase the compensation for the losses suffered by the consumer. The increased compensation shall be three times the price of the goods purchased or the cost of the services received; if the increased compensation is less than 500 yuan, it shall be 500 yuan. If there are other provisions in the law, those provisions shall apply. 2. Rectification Provisions: If there are no provisions in laws or regulations, the administrative department for industry and commerce or other relevant administrative departments shall order corrections and may, depending on the circumstances, impose a warning, confiscate illegal gains, or impose a fine of not less than one time but not more than ten times the illegal gains. If there are no illegal gains, a fine of not more than 500,000 yuan may be imposed; if the circumstances are serious, the business may be ordered to suspend operations for rectification or have its business license revoked.
