Florida Drivers Leasing Autos Through Chase Manhattan Automotive Finance Corporation Say They Are Being Charged Undisclosed Fees as "Taxes"

Report Fraud
Case ID: 2598 | Automotive | 08/30/2004

A Florida class action has been filed against auto financing company Chase Manhattan Automotive Finance Corporation on behalf of vehicle lessees who allege that the company charged them "taxes" that were actually just undisclosed fees to cover wear and tear, and excess mileage on the vehicles, in violation of Florida consumer protection laws and the federal Consumer Leasing Act. The action seeks unspecified compensatory damages.

Though the action is currently restricted to Floridians who have leases with Chase Manhattan Automotive Finance Corporation, or whose lease with the company expired in the last year, the attorneys who filed this action are interested in hearing from persons who lease or have leased vehicles in other states as well. If you have had a similar experience with a different car leasing agency, you should also feel free to contact them.
