The following describes a pending government action that has been formally brought by a government agency but has not yet been resolved. We are providing a summary of the government’s allegations, which have not yet been proven.
On Aug. 8, 2023, the Ohio Attorney General's Office filed a civil lawsuit in Franklin County Common Pleas Court against defendants Bethrand Ekeanyanwu dba Uncle B Auto. The lawsuit alleges the defendants violated consumer protection laws, including the Ohio Consumer Sales Practices Act, the Certificate of Motor Vehicle Title Act, and the Odometer Rollback and Disclosure Act, including by:
-
Failure to promptly file title applications within 30 days of vehicle assignment or delivery.
-
Concealing the rebuilt salvage status of vehicles from consumers.
-
Falsifying odometer disclosure statements.
-
Withholding accurate and complete odometer disclosures.
-
Engaging in odometer tampering or alterations
The state is seeking restitution for affected consumers who bought vehicles from Uncle B, civil penalties, an order prohibiting Ekeanyanwu from maintaining, renewing or applying for auto-dealer or salesperson licenses, and an order prohibiting the defendant from engaging in consumer transactions in Ohio until they have satisfied all restitution, civil penalties and court costs have been paid.
The matter was pending before the court as of 8.25.23.
According to the state, Bethrand Ekeanyanwy’s principal place of doing business as Uncle B Auto selling used motor vehicles was at 970 E. Hudson St., Columbus, OH, 43211.
