I have previously posted about how I believe Carfax misleadingly promotes their product. Their recent “Carfox” commercials certainly lead you to believe a clean Carfax report virtually guarantees a good car. It just isn’t so. In fact, here’s what a Carfax Consumer Affairs Analyst said recently in an e-mail about…
I have a personal story to tell. Recently I had a serious neck injury. I lost much of the use of my right arm because the nerve that controls the deltoid muscle coming from my spinal cord had been pinched where it passes through my cervical vertebrae. The first doctor…
As you may be aware, the so-called Wall Street reform bill has now passed in the House and the Senate. The House version exempts automobile dealers from financial regulatory oversight, while the Senate version does not. I strongly believe that Indiana car dealers need the supervision that could, and hopefully…
Is a debt collector calling you all the time, to the point that it is harassing and you just don’t want to deal with it anymore? I have a remedy for you, but before I tell you about it I want to point out that I usually recommend to Indiana…
Reliant Capital Solutions is a debt collection agency headquartered in the State of Ohio. They use a lot of different telephone numbers, but some of the numbers they use are: 866-547-5413, 866-738-3181, 866-837-5096, 614-452-6097, 614-328-0518, 614-328-0514, 614-452-6101, and 614-452-6093. I’m sure there are many others. I have a client who…
My last blog entry, way too long ago, concerned Carfax and the unreliability of their reports. Well, Carfax has put themselves in the news again and I just couldn’t help but comment. I just read on a local news agency’s internet page that Carfax has put all the Cash for…
I was working today on one of my car dealership fraud cases when I came across a Carfax Vehicle History Report. Having seen Carfax’s recent television commercials, some of which are pretty funny (check this one out: Carfax Commercial), I thought another brief blog entry might be in order because…
I want to mention a couple decisions from the Indiana Court of Appeals that will likely have a profound impact on Indiana consumers for years. The decisions are noteworthy because they are both a significant departure from and/or addition to prior Indiana law and they make it much easier for…
It may be too late for many Indiana consumers, but it’s still noteworthy. Congress just passed legislation that will shortly be signed by the President that cracks down on some of the abusive practices long used by the credit card industry. Although the law won’t go into effect for nine…
I would like to take a second to highlight a case recently decided by the Indiana Court of Appeals. It is important not because it made new law but simply because it is a good reminder of what the law is. The case is captioned Brad Lawson v. Rodney Hale…
