   • Unlawful Misrepresentation of Utility Bill Offset, Federal Tax Credits (IRC § 25D), and Hidden Loan Dealer Fees (25%–35% undisclosed principal markup in violation of the Truth in Lending Act, 15 U.S.C. § 1601).
   • Violation of New Mexico Mandatory Solar / Home Improvement Disclosure and Cancellation Statutes (3 Business Days).

2. RECOVERY FUND & SURETY BOND NOTICE:
   Please cross-reference this complaint with New Mexico Regulation and Licensing Department (CID) GB-98 / EE-98 License Code Bond ($10,000) and freeze or audit the contractor’s active license and surety bond on file in New Mexico.

3. FORMAL NOTICE OF CLAIMS & DEFENSES TO LENDER UNDER 16 CFR PART 433 (FTC HOLDER RULE):
   Pursuant to the mandatory FTC Holder Rule Notice printed in my solar loan contract, the lender stands in the shoes of the solar seller and is subject to all claims and defenses I assert herein. I hereby demand:
   (a) Immediate cancellation and rescission of the solar loan contract (or a permanent principal reduction equal to $[Amount of Damages / Completion Cost]);
   (b) Termination of any UCC-1 fixture filing recorded against my New Mexico real property title under UCC § 9-513; and
   (c) Placement of my loan account in formal "Disputed Status" under the Fair Credit Reporting Act (15 U.S.C. § 1681s-2) with zero adverse credit reporting pending resolution.

Enclosed are copies of my signed Solar Installation Agreement, Promissory Note, Utility Bills, and Photographic / Permit Evidence. I certify under penalty of perjury under the laws of the State of New Mexico that the foregoing is true and correct.
