(LANCASTER, Ohio)—Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine today announced a consumer protection lawsuit against a Carroll, Ohio, used car seller accused of failing to deliver vehicle titles to central Ohio consumers.

The Attorney General’s lawsuit accuses 2 Guys Selling Cars LLC and its operator of violating state consumer protection laws.

According to the lawsuit, 2 Guys Selling Cars last operated at 4250 Coonpath Road in Carroll. More than 30 consumers filed complaints against 2 Guys Selling Cars, with most saying they did not receive the title to a vehicle they bought from the dealership. 

The Ohio Attorney General’s Office assisted consumers, in some cases making payments from the Title Defect Recision Fund, which helps resolve certain title problems. Payments from the fund totaled $57,863 according to the lawsuit.

In the lawsuit, filed in the Fairfield County Court of Common Pleas, the Attorney General seeks reimbursement for the Title Defect Recision Fund, reimbursement for affected consumers, and an order to prohibit the dealership’s operator, Robert A. Ventresco, from being granted an auto dealer license in Ohio. 

In a similar case, the Attorney General also filed a lawsuit against Capital City Car Brokers LLC, a dealership last operating on Sullivant Avenue and on East Livingston Avenue in Columbus. The dealership is accused of failing to deliver vehicle titles, causing $4,920 in payouts from the Title Defect Recision Fund, and violating a previous court order against it. The lawsuit is pending in the Franklin County Court of Common Pleas.   

Consumers who suspect an unfair or deceptive sales practice should contact the Ohio Attorney General’s Office at www.OhioProtects.org or 800-282-0515.
