CHARLESTON — A Putnam County man says Six M's II LLC used unfair or deceptive practices when it attempted to sell a used car.
Richard Wolford filed the lawsuit against the company alleging violations of the West Virginia Consumer Credit and Protection Act after his mother, Pam Wood, went to the lot to look at vehicles and she called Wolford to ask if he would be a sponsor on her loan, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Circuit Court.
The defendant's representative, Ronnie, said Wolford would only be responsible for the first two payments of the loan and then after that, Wood would be responsible for the rest of the loan, according to the suit.
Wolford claims he declined because it did not sound right and he requested a copy of the application and asked several questions, which Ronnie could not answer, so Wolford told his mother, his brother, and Ronnie that he did not want anything to do with the transaction and the call ended.
However, Wolford claims he received adverse notices from banks saying his application for vehicle financing was declined and the rejections caused his credit score to drop significantly.
Wolford is seeking compensatory and punitive damages. He is represented by Kristina Thomas Whiteaker of The Grubb Law Group.
Kanawha Circuit Court case number: 21-C-28
