Attorney general: Auto Plaza USA in Nicholasville defrauded more than 1,400 customers

[TexasTowelie]

Auto Plaza USA in Nicholasville engaged in deceptive practices by defrauding more than 1,400 customers, according to a lawsuit filed Wednesday in Fayette Circuit Court.

Kentucky Attorney General Andy Beshear said in a press conference at the Better Business Bureau of Central and Eastern Kentucky that between 2012 and 2016 Auto Plaza collected vehicle usage taxes from customers and then falsified documents to avoid making the correct payment to the Kentucky Department of Revenue.

Customers later received delinquent tax notices from the department and were left owing a tax bill that in many cases they had already paid to Auto Plaza, according to the attorney general.

The lawsuit also claims that Auto Plaza charged each customer a $489 fee for preparation of documents and services that were not properly performed.

1. Beshesr for Governor

I will HAPPILY support a legacy with this young man. He is an excellent Atty General. My husband and I ran into his Dad (fmr. Gov Steve Beshear who did an awesom job getting people insured under Obamacare) in an elevator at the Univ. of KY eye clinic last week, a really genuine guy, commiserated with hubby on eye problems.

We have an apple falling pretty close to the tree, IMO.
