(AKRON, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced a lawsuit against an Akron used car dealer accused of failing to deliver motor vehicle titles to consumers.
The lawsuit against now-defunct Price is Right Auto Sales LLC and operator Fredrick Hill seeks reimbursement for the Title Defect Recision Fund, which helps reimburse consumers who experience title problems after buying a vehicle from a dealership. The lawsuit also seeks to prevent Hill from obtaining a used car dealer or salesperson license in the future.
According to the lawsuit, Price is Right Auto Sales last operated at 2095 East Avenue in Akron. Consumers filed complaints against Price is Right Auto Sales because they did not receive their vehicle titles within the 40 days required by law. Claims totaling more than $9,700 were paid from the Title Defect Recision Fund to resolve consumers' title issues.
The lawsuit, filed in the Summit County Court of Common Pleas, accuses Price is Right Auto Sales and Fredrick Hill of violating Ohio’s Consumer Sales Practices Act and Certificate of Motor Vehicle Title Act.
Consumers who experience car title problems or who have other consumer complaints should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at www.OhioProtects.org or 800-282-0515.
