Class action lawsuit against Carfax

Just wanted to make everybody aware of a class action lawsuit brought against Carfax for misleading consumers into believing their reports were complete and contained accurate info. If you bought a report before October 27,2006 you are entitled to join the claim. You must submit your claim before April 27 to be considered. Benefits from the lawsuit include free reports and other benefits not mentioned at this time.

Well, one would HOPE they have improved since they were found to have inaccurate/incomplete reports. If they want to stay in business you would want to think they would improve upon their practices. Besides, one good thing for them to give out free reports is a way of showing former customers how they have improved in hopes they will come back to them for new reports in the future,(and this time pay for them.)

I guess...

I just prefer autocheck express. I know it is not as "complete" as carfax, but it covers all of the important information and it's subscription based -- no paying for each report.

Im glad to see this is happening. I am amazed how many cars i have personally seen with thousands and in one case over 100,000 dollars in damge that had a clean car fax. it was a great scam for them while it lasted
