Finance Manager Arusha Hunter committed Auto fraud...

Finance Manager Arusha Hunter committed Auto fraud by lying about rates, vehicle pricing, and financing requirements.
On June 7, 2015 I purchased a new 2015 Ford Escape SE (Vin: 1FMCU0G98FUB68164). From the time I entered that sales office everything was a lie. I was told in order to get the 5.9% interest rate I had to purchase $7,145.00 in additional maintenance contracts or I would have a 11.99% rate. Of course wanting the lower rate I agreed because I trusted a dealership to tell the truth. After speaking with some co-workers (I work for a bank) they told me to contact the Ford Credit Underwriting department. When contacted I was informed that I would have received the rate of 5.9% regardless of maintenance agreements. Furthermore, I had actually hurt my loan by oversaturating my loan as I am now stuck with $10,000.00 in negative equity. Seeing how they had lied to me about this I decided to look over every detail of my contracts. I was told that Skylink, and anti-theft device, was included at no cost. However, they charged me $800.00 for this device. They also overcharged me on the sticker price. The final vehicle cost based on the sticker was $33,397.00. Arusha actually charged me $33,697.00. Effectively stealing $300.00 from me. On top of that was a $699.99 customer service fee. So in all they conned me, fraudulently, into giving them an extra $8944.99. I am seeking legal counsel for this fraudulent act.
