Class Action Lawsuit Against Maurice J. Sopp & Son and Chase Auto Finance
Auto Fraud Legal Center has filed a class action lawsuit in Los Angeles County Superior Court on behalf of Aurelio Deniz and two classes of auto purchasers against Maurice J. Sopp & Son and Chase Auto Finance. The first class identified in Mr. Deniz’s lawsuit is consumers who purchased vehicles from Maurice J. Sopp & Son and whose contracts do not separately itemize fees due to the DMV for license fees and registration, transfer, and titling fees. The second class identified in Mr. Deniz’s lawsuit is all car buyers in California whose purchase contracts do not separately itemize fees due to the DMV for license fees and registration, transfer, and titling fees, and whose contracts are held by Chase Auto Finance. Mr. Deniz purchased a used Nissan Sentra from Maurice J. Sopp & Son in January 2010, and his contract falsely stated registration, transfer, and titling fees were not applicable to her transaction. Mr. Deniz’s contract was assigned by Maurice J. Sopp & Son to Chase Auto Finance. The contract, the standard form vehicle purchase contract used in California, included a clause whereby the holder of the contract, in this case Chase Auto Finance, agreed to be responsible for any claims that could be brought against the seller, Maurice J. Sopp & Son.
