Federman & Sherwood Announces That a Class Action Lawsuit Was Filed Against Carfax, Inc.

OKLAHOMA CITY, Aug. 9, 2004 -- On August 4, 2004, the class action lawsuit was filed In The Court of Common Pleas Trumbull County, Ohio against Carfax, Inc. ("Carfax"). The complaint alleges violations of the Ohio Sales Practices Act and Common Law. The complaint further alleges that Carfax engages in unfair, misleading and/or deceptive sales practices in connection with the automobile database services that it offers to the public. The class period is from October 1998 to the present.

This class action involves a nationwide scheme devised and implemented by Defendants to market Carfax's Vehicle History Reports concerning used automobiles in a manner which is unfair, false, deceptive and materially misleading. Carfax purports to conduct accident report searches for used vehicles on a nationwide basis in order to determine for consumers whether a specific used car has been involved in a collision. CarFax, however, fails to disclose to consumers that it does not have the ability to access and search public accident records in over twenty-three (23) states in the United States of America.
