Frequently Asked Questions

Docket-specific intake considerations.

What is a GoodLeap hidden dealer fee?

A dealer fee is an undisclosed surcharge (frequently 15% to 30%+ above the cash price according to CFPB consumer alerts) added to the loan principal by lenders like GoodLeap to offer artificially low interest rates. Under TILA (15 U.S.C. Section 1605) and Regulation Z (12 CFR Section 1026.4), concealing these fees as cash price markups violates federal disclosure rules.

Does GoodLeap require individual arbitration?

Yes. Most GoodLeap loan agreements mandate binding individual arbitration before the American Arbitration Association (AAA), making mass arbitration the most effective vehicle for broad consumer relief.
