Carfax Update: Class Action Lawsuit

posted in Carfax, General |

Looks like the truth might finally come out about Carfax. Under West vs. Carfax, Inc. the Plantiff, West, claims that Carfax violated the consumer protection laws of all fifty states by not properly disclosing terms and conditions for, and limitations of, Carfax Vehicle History Reports. Carfax denies all of Plaintiff’s claims of wrongdoing.

On April 27, 2007 a judge will hold a hearing to decide if he will approve a settlement to customers of Carfax who purchased a report before October 27th, 2006.

Class Members who remain in the settlement can claim a Voucher good for $20.00 off a vehicle inspection by a designated third party within six months of final approval of the settlement, a Voucher good for two free Carfax Vehicle History Reports from Carfax within one year of final approval of the settlement, a Voucher for one free Carfax Vehicle History Report from Carfax within two years of final approval of the settlement, or a Voucher for 50% off an unlimited number of Carfax Vehicle History Reports (for personal, not commercial use) over 30 consecutive days within three years of final approval of the settlement. The Court will also order Carfax to make certain changes in its disclosures and contracting process with customers.
