Analysis of Agreement Containing 

Consent Order To Aid Public Comment 

The Federal Trade Commission 

(‘‘FTC’’) has accepted, subject to final 

approval, an agreement containing a 


srobinson on DSK4SPTVN1PROD with NOTICES
16228 Federal Register / Vol. 77, No. 54 / Tuesday, March 20, 2012 / Notices 

consent order from Frank Myers 

AutoMaxx, LLC. The proposed consent 

order has been placed on the public 

record for thirty (30) days for receipt of 

comments by interested persons. 

Comments received during this period 

will become part of the public record. 

After thirty (30) days, the FTC will again 

review the agreement and the comments 

received, and will decide whether it 

should withdraw from the agreement 

and take appropriate action or make 

final the agreement’s proposed order. 

The respondent is a motor vehicle 

dealer. The matter involves its 

advertising of the purchase, financing, 

and leasing of its motor vehicles. 

According to the FTC complaint, 

respondent has represented that when a 

consumer trades in a used vehicle in 

order to purchase another vehicle, 

respondent will pay off the balance of 

the loan on the trade-in vehicle such 

that the consumer will have no 

remaining obligation for any amount of 

that loan. The complaint alleges that in 

fact, when a consumer trades in a used 

vehicle with negative equity (i.e. the 

loan balance on the vehicle exceeds the 

vehicle’s value) in order to purchase 

another vehicle, respondent does not 

pay off the balance of the loan on the 

trade-in vehicle such that the consumer 

will have no remaining obligation for 

any amount of that loan. Instead, the 

respondent may require the consumer to 

pay for the negative equity in cash at the 

time of sale. The complaint alleges 

therefore that the representation is false 

or misleading in violation of Section 5 

of the FTC Act. 

The proposed order is designed to 

prevent the respondent from engaging in 

similar deceptive practices in the future. 

Part I of the proposed order prohibits 

the respondent from misrepresenting 

that it will pay the remaining loan 

balance on a consumer’s trade-in 

vehicle such that the consumer will 

have no obligation for any amount of 

that loan. It also prohibits 

misrepresenting any other material fact 

relating to the financing or leasing of a 

motor vehicle. 

Part II of the proposed order requires 

respondent to keep copies of relevant 

advertisements and materials 

substantiating claims made in the 

advertisements. Part III requires that 

respondent provide copies of the order 

to certain of its personnel. Part IV 

requires notification of the Commission 

regarding changes in corporate structure 

that might affect compliance obligations 

under the order. Part V requires the 

respondent to file compliance reports 

with the Commission. Finally, Part VI is 

a provision ‘‘sunsetting’’ the order after 

twenty (20) years, with certain 

exceptions. 

The purpose of this analysis is to aid 

public comment on the proposed order. 

It is not intended to constitute an 

official interpretation of the complaint 

or proposed order, or to modify in any 

way the proposed order’s terms. 

By direction of the Commission.

Secretary.
