Current Alerts For This Business
The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below. On February 23, 2023, 37 Auto Sales, its owner and a former salesperson all entered into separate Consent Judgments with the Sedgwick County Kansas District Attorney. The Assurance settles allegations that the business resolves multiple allegations of violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. The District Attorney’s Consumer Protection Division investigated eight separate complaints from consumers who purchased vehicles between April and September of 2020 from 37 Auto Sales, LLC, 1939 N. Broadway in Wichita. During its investigation, the Consumer Protection Division found the dealership failed to disclose a safety recall on one transaction, and the dealership issued multiple 60-day temporary registration permits in violation of Kansas law on nine transactions. Records from the dealership also indicated the titles and sales tax receipts provided to some consumers were improperly documented.
37 Auto Sales, LLC and its owner, Jacobs Lucky agreed to settle the matter prior to trial with the agreement to pay $65,000 in civil penalties, $2,000 in investigative expenses and over $21,000 in restitution to compensate seven consumers. The dealership will be on a three-year probationary period with the Consumer Protection Division and agreed to address safety recalls, disclose all known defects in writing prior to sale, and cooperate in any future complaints among other promises. Lucky agreed to a $20,000 fine and was also placed on a three-year probationary period. Wally Sharp, a former employee of 37 Auto Sales, entered into a Consent Judgment in June of 2022 on allegations that Sharp failed to disclose a vehicle had a rebuilt salvage title and another vehicle had a transmission issue prior to the sales. Sharp agreed to a $10,000 fine and was placed on a 12-month probationary period as part of the agreement. 37 Auto Sales previously entered into a Consent Judgment in May of 2019 involving other allegations of violations of the Kansas Consumer Protection Act. The Assurance was for settlement purposes only and should not be considered as an admission of guilt or finding of violation of the law.
