Find-a-Car Credit Info Inaccurate

Kingston’s Find-a-Car is under investigation by the police as it seems that they may have been forging documents and credit applications. Both kinds of paperwork have been found to contain false information, which was found during a search police made of the premises.

The company and its president, Ryan O’Connor, as well as several other employees, are listed in the warrant. It states that several major financial institutions, as well as consumers, were defrauded by the company. The warrant states that the company got more than $5,000 in illegal car loans and other illegal paperwork.

The police searched the premises and came up with documentation, although no charges have been filed. The Ontario Motor Vehicle Industry Council is revoking the company’s license because of “a serious breach of several provincial regulations."

O’Connor is maintaining his innocence, but the warrant says that his employees have been earning more money than most industry professionals, which leads them to believe that something shady has been going on. The police took financial records, computers, media devices, auto loan contracts, sales agreements, credit applications, etc.

There have also been numerous complaints from customers stating that the company defrauded them, saying they had auto loans when they didn’t, or turning back the odometer, and filing false documentation.
