BANGOR (AP) — The Maine attorney general’s office has taken action to ban a used car dealership owner from doing business in the state for seven years after accusing him of unfair and deceptive trade practices.
Under terms of a proposed consent judgment, Glenn Geiser and his dealerships, My Maine Ride and Bumper2Bumper, Inc., will be out of business until 2021. Some consumers will be eligible for partial restitution for repair costs and may be eligible for forgiveness of loan balances on repossessed cars.
The office filed a complaint in February alleging Geiser targeted consumers with poor credit, pressured them to buy cars that are not road worthy, then not respond to customer complaints.
