Federal Judge Remands Class Action Against Crevier BMW and BMW Finanial Services back to State Court
On June 11, 2012, the Honorable Andrew J. Guilford granted Shanna Kuxhausen’s Motion for Remand To State Court, after Defendant BMW Financial Services removed Kuxhausen v. Crevier Motors Inc., et al., Orange County Case No.30-2011-00504919-CU-CO-CXC, to the United States District Court for the Central District of California.
The first proposed class identified in Ms. Kuxhausen’s lawsuit is consumers who purchased vehicles from Crevier BMW and signed backdated contracts. Ms. Kuxhausen alleges Crevier BMW would cancel contracts and have customers sign new contracts, and the new contracts would be dated the date of the customer’s original contract. The second class identified in Ms. Kuxhausen’s suit is consumers who purchased vehicles from Crevier and whose contracts do not separately itemize fees due to the DMV for license fees and registration, transfer, and titling fees. The third class identified in Ms. Kuxhausen’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 BMW Financial Services NA, LLC. Ms. Kuxhausen alleges Crevier BMW made improper disclosures on contracts for customers who purchased vehicles between August 30, 2007, and August 30, 2011, and that BMW Financial Services accepted such contracts from Crevier and other dealerships throughout California.
