If you have concrete evidence that the seller fraudulently induced you into the transaction, and the defect was serious, you absolutely have a claim in civil court. This should be brought within two years. The Seller Disclosure Law is serious business and certainly not something to be disregarded by unscrupulous sellers. http://www.hjdlaw.net
