Well - I have my judgment against Robert Allen and Joseph Robinson personally, and was able to pierce the corporate vale and charge to individually, so now my next step is to have a arrest warrant placed for them. Rob is known to be in Las Vegas.. but not sure on that. Even though Rob admitted to the Attorney general that he violated the statutes and was banned from doing such a business he is still doing this business, along with his business partner Robert Friou. We have a letter signed by Robert Allen that he is still involved in this line of business. Hopefully it should be enough to get criminal charges brough against them.

however if you notice in my update dated 4/1/2006, when I paid the banks, I made them agree in writing to abide by any court rulings if they were in my favor before I paid them, that I would get my money back. Though it will be a fight, I feel that I will be victorious with them if I need to play that trump card with them.

Your answer says it all. The lender never released you from the loan. Therefore you were obligated to pay them back. If you take them to court it will be a waste of your time and money. They do not owe you anything, The owner of US Auto owes you the money.

That is your opinion.. and you are entitled to it. However, part of the consumer fraud ruling: Section 12: paragraph (a) - the company provided vehicle owners with a means of removing themselves from a loan or lease payments without dealership or lender penalties paragraph (e) - the company created a worry free arangement to the protect the owners investement and credit. Section 21: At no time did the defendants Allen or his employees, and/or agents notify vehicle lenders that a borrowers vehicle was enrolled in the USAM Cave Creeek sublease program, or obtain consent for the sublease of the vehicles enrolled in the USAM Cave Creek program. I also have a letter from Allen stating that he contacted my lenders and got their approval. This letter was apparently a fake, and my lenders were never notified.

The banks had a contract with you, that is why they collected thier money. It is no way the fault of the banks that YOU got scammed. That would be like not being able to pay a bill because you got mugged, you still owe the bill. How is it the banks fault that you got scammed?

I believe that since the attorney general has ruled that it was consumer fraud I can go back to the banks that collected the $18k from me to pay off the loan\leases and claim that it it fraud, and 3 AZ statutes were violated during the process... will just have to see.. I may have to bring legal action against the banks.. if they dont want to play nicely.

Because of this case taking so long, and courts not moving fast enough.. I wanted to get in on some nice financing rates with on a refi on my house.. but FANNIE MAE required me to payoff the fraud.. so with some of the funds of the cash out I was forced to pay $18k to MitsuBishi and Bank of the West, however in being carefull, I made them agree that they would abide by any court rulings as this matter is being heard in court.. so I should see money money back soon as soon as the judge rules on my case...

AZ Attorney General - 2.66 million dollar judgement against the corporation and several of those involved with the scam. Though it is a default judgement.. it is a judgement none the less. Also the court ordered all defendants into discovery, as the State filed a motion to compel discovery. http://www.superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/docket/civil/caseInfo.asp?caseNumber=CV2005-009848

And created this one on 6/28/02
My contracts were dated 4/22/02 and May of 2002, both of which were using the US AUTO MANAGEMENT LLC which as you can see above on 4/12/02 ceased to exist.
I checkd with Detective Addington of Phoenix Police who heads up Auto Theft Division and he says that is sufficient for fraud, which is a class 2 felony in Arizona.
Since he signed those contracts during the time that his corporation was in limbo, he is personally liable, and not protected by the corporate LLC.
