CHARLESTON — A Kanawha County woman is suing Boone County used car sellers, alleging fraud and breach of duty.

Kathryn L. Bradley filed a complaint in Kanawha Circuit Court against Thornhill Group Inc. and EAN Holdings LLC, alleging they violated the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act.

According to the complaint, on March 29, 2017, Bradley purchased a used 2016 Ford Explorer from the defendants for personal use. The suit says the defendants never told Bradley that the Ford had previously been involved in an accident.

As a result of the defendants' actions, Bradley says, she was annoyed, inconvenienced, harassed, bothered, caused indignation and distressed. The plaintiff alleges the defendants fraudulently induced her in an unconscionable contract and failed to disclose that the vehicle has been involved in a prior accident.

Bradley seeks trial by jury, an order declaring the contract void, all damages, attorney fees, court costs and all other just and proper relief. She is represented by attorney Scott H. Kaminski of Kaminski Law PLLC in Charleston.

Kanawha Circuit Court case number 18-C-430
