Case ID: 4595 | Automotive | 01/12/2006
North Carolina car dealership Alan Vester is now facing a class-action lawsuit, alleging unfair and deceptive trade practices, negligence, fraud and other violations of state law.
The lawsuit, filed late last month, claims Alan Vester dealerships have been using these practices to get financing for customers who may not have qualified, and it says the practice has been going on for the past four years, involving 90 percent of the chain's vehicles. One allegation in the 36-page lawsuit is falsified down payments. According to the suit, Vester customers put down no money, yet their contracts and bills of sale said otherwise. Another allegation is straw purchases, where a person's name is on the contract and their identity is used to get financing, but they are not making the payments on the car. Another claim on the suit is falsifying and inflating customers' income in order to secure financing.

Florida's laws protect consumers from businesses that would otherwise harm them. The parties have reached a tentative $6.9 million settlement in an action filed against automobile retailer AutoNation, Inc. on behalf of Floridians who allege that, from August 6, 1995, through October 31, 2000, the company failed to deliver correctly signed retail installment contracts in connection with the sale of new and used motor vehicles in violation of Florida's Motor Vehicle Retail Sales Finance and Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Acts. To recover under the settlement, you must submit a claim form no later than July 29, 2003.
The class has been certified in an action filed against State Farm Automobile Insurance Company on behalf of Nebraskans who were hurt in auto accidents, and who allege that the company overcharged them for managed care medical coverage under the guise of traditional indemnity medical coverage. The action alleges that State Farm overcharged consumers 15% to 20% for their coverage, in violation of Nebraska's Consumer Protection Act and the Deceptive Trade Practices Act. A class action has been filed against Motiva Enterprises, LLC, and Shell Oil Company on behalf of all persons who purchased sulfur-tainted gasoline from New Orleans-area gas stations that were supplied by Motiva during May 2004.

Two Michigan men filed a lawsuit against a maker of tires for recreational vehicles they say are defective and pose a safety risk. Jeffrey Hunsaker, of Byron Center, and Dennis Drooger, of Holland, filed the suit against Carlisle Tire & Wheel Co. last January in Kalamazoo. State "lemon laws" are designed to protect consumers who have purchased a vehicle that turns out to be so defective that numerous attempts to fix all its problems are insufficient. A class action has been filed against the nation's three leading automobile manufacturers on behalf of Ohio residents who leased or purchased an automobile from Ford Motor Company, DaimlerChrysler Corporation, or General Motors Corporation and who, after going through the Ohio Lemon Law Dispute Resolution Board, had a "reasonable use" charge deducted from the refund that they received. |
