He pressured me to buy anyway, and asked me to sign finance papers. Not only did the papers fail to specify what the loan was for, they were back-dated to the day I ordered the windows. When I confronted the salesman about the mistake, he accused me of trying to ruin his reputation by backing out of the deal. Signed, Tricked and Angry.

Federal law provides similar protection.
Lucky for you, this law applied to your contract and you canceled in time to stop the transaction. The seller gives you two copies of a cancellation form, which explains these rights. The seller provides you with a copy of your contract or receipt, which must be dated, show the salesperson's name, address, and telephone number, and explain your right to cancel. Remember to read the paperwork and make sure all blanks are filled before you sign. Ask questions about anything you may not understand, or review the contract with someone you trust.
