After having her newly purchased car repossessed, an Ohio woman found that the dealer had failed to renew the registration of its name. She took possession of the name. A legal fight is proceeding, with an appeals court showing her some support.
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.
As you might guess, a legal battle is underway..
To back up: McCreary, according to court documents, received preliminary approval for a loan when buying a used Kia K5 at Taylor Kia of Lima. The lender later determined the information regarding McCreary’s income was not sufficient for final approval and the car was repossessed while she was at work.
