Long story short, I am in New York and was going to purchase a used car last week. The deal fell through last minute and I walked away. once I got home, I checked my email and saw that my car insurance had already been switched over to the dealer car and my current car that was to be traded in was no longer covered. At no point in time did they call me with my insurance provider to be authorized to make changes.
After an hour on the phone with my provider, they replayed the call and the sales agent called saying they were me and changed the car over. They were able to revert everything back.
After talking to my insurance company and DMV to make sure non of my other documents had been changed, they informed me that I should pursue legal action with a lawyer.
Is this something to pursue or is it a waste of time and resources?

I’d Talk to the GM of the dealership
What are your damages beyond an hour on the phone? A legal claim requires damages.
You should file a police complaint for criminal impersonation.
