Indiana Attorney General Sues Two Car Dealers

The office of Indiana Attorney General Curtis Hill (I say office of, because A.G. Hill seems to be spending more time running from his scandals than running the office) filed an action against two car dealers.

According to the Indianapolis Star:

The civil suit, according to a news release, takes aim at Jerramy Johnson and Jeffrey Presnell, who owned and operated three southside businesses: Wheels of Fortune LLC, Southpointe Motorcars LLC and Mid America Auto Remarketing.
The men have been accused of misrepresenting mileage on motor vehicles, failing to deliver titles and charging inappropriate fees, according to the complaint. The lawsuit seeks restitution for affected consumers, many of whom are listed in the complaint, and civil penalties.  

The lawsuit alleges cars sold with incorrect odometers and vehicles that were certified as rebuilt salvage vehicles under fraudlent certifications of inspection.

The lawsuit alleges that the Wheels of Fortune Dealership, which didn't have a license, and whose owner couldn't get a license, illegally sold cars piggy-backing on the license of another dealer, BWI Equipment, I

If you bought a vehicle on credit from Wheels of Fortune, LLC, Southpoint Motors, LLC Mid America Auto Remarketing, Or BWI Equipment, Inc. you MIGHT have legal grounds to get out of your loan and make your lender buy back the vehicle.

There's are lessons to be learned her by everybody.  for dealers - don't let anybody else use your license, period.

  1. investing in oil and gas has and is still making a lot of people " very RICH". Investors in oil and gas are getting rich daily. All you need is a secured and certified strategy that will keep your invested capital safe by opting out with no withdrawer crunch. A considerable number of investors worldwide have seen gains of 75,063%, personally I have made over 600%. For example I started investing with $1,000 and I made $3,000, $3,500- $5,000 weekly. Last year at the start of the year, I increased my invested capital to $10,000 and I made approximately $105,000 before the end of year. I've never seen profit opportunities like this before in any market even when other traders complain of losses. Now for the doubters, not only is it possible, it's actually happening right now. All you need is a good and secured strategy, a good investment platform, Appetite and market conditions.
