CIVIL ACTION NO.
3:16-CV-1649-RNC

JANUARY 26, 2017

PLAINTIFF’S AFFIDAVIT
MICHAEL A. CRISCIONE, the Plaintiff in this matter, having been duly sworn,
hereby declares that:
1.

I am over 18 years of age, and I believe in the obligations of an oath.

2.

This Affidavit is made from my own personal knowledge.

3.

In March 2016, I saw a 2006 Ford F-250 pick-up truck (the “Vehicle”) for

sale on Atlantic Motors’ website for an advertised price of $18,999.
4.

I was interested in the Vehicle, and I visited Atlantic Motors to see and test

drive the Vehicle.
5.

I met with an Atlantic Motors’ salesman who identified himself as Bob, and

I showed Bob the advertisement of the Vehicle on his mobile device.
6.

I returned to Atlantic Motors the next day with my father, and he

negotiated the sale price of the vehicle for $18,000 and an allowance of $4,000 for my
trade-in, a 2001 Chevrolet 2500 HD.
7.

Bob told me that my monthly payment would be between $430 and $450.

 Case 3:16-cv-01649-RNC Document 39-1 Filed 01/26/17 Page 2 of 2

Atlantic Motors did not provide me with any purchase order for the

8.
transaction.
9.

At no time did I enter into any retail installment contract for the Vehicle,

and Atlantic never provided me with a retail installment sales contract.
10.

The retail installment contract attached to the Sobolewski Declaration was

never provided to me by Atlantic Motors, and I never executed that document.
11.

In late May 2016, I learned from Credit Acceptance that it possessed a

document that I had purportedly signed that provided for monthly payments that were
greater than the payments that I had agreed to pay when I purchased the Vehicle.
12.

I requested that Credit Acceptance send me a copy of that document, and

Credit Acceptance sent me a copy of the retail instalment sales contract attached to the
Sobolewski Declaration.
13.

This was the first time that I ever saw this document.

14.

I have never signed or executed any agreement that I would arbitrate my

claims against Atlantic Motors and Credit Acceptance.

day of January, 2017.
