GoodLeap complaints in New Jersey most commonly involve undisclosed dealer fees that inflate solar loan balances by $10,000–$30,000 above the quoted system price, APR misrepresentation, and loan terms that weren't clearly disclosed at signing. New Jersey borrowers are particularly well-positioned to pursue these claims because the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act automatically trebles actual damages and requires the losing party to pay the winning homeowner's attorney's fees.
New Jersey GoodLeap borrowers are in a uniquely powerful position compared to most states: the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act automatically trebles whatever damages you prove, and the losing company must pay your attorney's fees. This makes New Jersey one of the most favorable states in the country for solar loan fraud claims — and GoodLeap dealer fee cases are among the strongest. Here's what New Jersey GoodLeap borrowers need to know.

In 60 seconds, one of our experts can assess your situation. Most homeowners qualify for one of two outcomes:
- Contract fully canceled — no more payments. You keep the equipment and can hire any contractor to service a system that should last 25+ years, completely free and clear.
- Contract reduced 30–60% — dramatically lower monthly payments, putting real money back in your pocket every year.
The Dealer Fee Problem for NJ GoodLeap Borrowers
The pattern is consistent across New Jersey: homeowners sign for a solar system quoted at $35,000 and later discover their GoodLeap loan balance is $48,000, $52,000, or higher. The difference — the dealer fee — was collected by the solar installer at the time of loan funding and never clearly disclosed to the borrower. New Jersey has specific consumer lending disclosure requirements, and GoodLeap's failure to clearly disclose these fees in plain language at or before signing may constitute a New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act violation.
New Jersey solar installers with high dealer fee complaint volumes include Freedom Forever, Momentum Solar, and several regional installers who operate extensively in the state. The combination of New Jersey's high electricity rates (making solar appealing) and aggressive door-to-door sales operations has created fertile ground for this practice.
The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act Advantage
Unlike most states where triple damages require proving an intentional or willful violation, New Jersey's CFA automatically trebles actual damages for any proven violation — intentional or not. If you prove your actual damages are $15,000 (the undisclosed dealer fee), you're entitled to $45,000 in damages, plus mandatory attorney's fees paid by the defendant. This fee-shifting provision means virtually any consumer attorney in New Jersey will evaluate a GoodLeap dealer fee case on contingency — the risk of fees lies with GoodLeap and the installer, not with you.

Pull your GoodLeap loan agreement and find the total loan amount on page 1. Compare it to the system cost you were quoted during sales — whether from a proposal document, a text message, or the number the sales rep wrote on a piece of paper. The difference is your dealer fee. Also check whether the loan documents include a line item labeled "dealer fee," "origination fee," or "processing fee." Many don't — which is itself part of the disclosure problem.
File simultaneously with the New Jersey Division of Consumer Affairs (njconsumeraffairs.gov), the New Jersey AG, the CFPB (consumerfinance.gov/complaint), and the BBB. Document everything in writing before filing. See the New Jersey solar consumer rights guide for more context.
