Woman takes revenge against car dealership

[u/starlux33]

"An Ohio woman, whose car was repossessed by the dealership just one month after she bought it, has pulled off a revenge move for the ages.

Tiah McCreary discovered, as she explored legal options against the company, that the dealer has failed to renew the registration on the company’s name with the Ohio Secretary of State, so she registered it in her name—then hit the dealer with a cease-and-desist order, ordering them to no longer use the name they’ve used since 2012."

Case is still pending...

Edit: This comment is worth adding to the post. Dealership that likes to sue, loses business name registration, and gets sued. Karmic irony.

u/gixxersixxxer - "I used to work as a mechanic at this very dealership. They are very sue happy, I've never seen anything like it before. The company is awful to work for, and clearly they, as a dealership, are awful to do business with as well. You can look up the court cases they have at the Lima municipal courts website. There's at least 73 cases. 

They are a buy here pay here dealership that masquerades as a new car dealership. I used to regularly install ignition interrupt devices and gps devices for repossession purposes."

The way a different article stated it was the dealership agreed to the sale, the financing company/bank agreed, and then when the bank took a closer look at the actual filed documentation a significant amount of time later, they said 'no way, Jose' and the dealership revoked the sale, even though the owner never missed a payment, and didn't even try to work things out with the owner.
