A class action lawsuit has been filed out of the Oklahoma District Court in Cleveland County claiming that Carfax did not properly disclose terms and conditions when marketing their “Carfax reports”. This is in violation of consumer protection laws via the lawsuit. Carfax denies any actions of wrong doing. If you are a resident in the state of Ohio, Oklahoma, Tennessee, or Texas and purchased a Carfax report between the dates of October 1, 1998 through December 31, 2007 you are considered a class member of this case and may be entitled to a settlement. Please note that class members also include anyone in California who purchased a report between February 17, 2002 through December 31, 2007 and North Carolina who purchased a report between May 1, 2001 through December 31, 2007. DavisCarSettlement.com provides the claim form and other relevant court documents such as the settlement agreement and the order granting preliminary approval.
