CHARLESTON — A Logan County man is suing a car dealership alleging that it misrepresented a vehicle to him and failed to provide him the opportunity to review important documents.
Transportation Network III LLC and Santander Consumer USA were named as defendants in the suit. Transportation is doing business as Todd Judy Ford East.
Leslie Adkins was referred to Donny Pitts with Todd Judy regarding auto financing in 2018. Pitts was told Adkins and his wife could not afford a payment over $300 per month, according to a complaint filed in Kanawha Circuit Court.
Adkins claims they eventually decided on a 2014 Toyota Rav 4 and were told they would need to provide a $1,000 down and that the monthly payment would be around $380, however, they later discovered the monthly payment would be $468.24. He also later discovered the $1,000 down payment he provided was not fully placed on the vehicle.
Adkins is seeking compensatory damages. He is represented by Clint Carte and Bren J. Pomponio of Mountain State Justice.
The case is assigned to Circuit Judge Charles King.
