CHARLESTON Attorney General Patrick Morrisey’s office recently won a court order permanently blocking the defendants in a used car sales lawsuit from selling vehicles in West Virginia.
Defendants Karen Richmond, Brian Richmond, Glenville Ratliff, Corey Smith, Richmond’s Quality Cars, LLC and CMS Pre-Owned Auto Sales, LLC, are permanently banned from selling vehicles in any capacity in West Virginia. The AG’s office filed the lawsuit in 2018 in Kanawha County.
“This is a win for our office and consumers,” Morrisey said. “We remain committed to protecting consumers and working to ensure that businesses comply with the law.”
Karen and Brian Richmond face a joint civil penalty of $20,000. The judgment states both the Richmonds and their dealership were located in western Kanawha County.
