Online used-car site Carvana said Friday that it is seeking a temporary restraining order against the state of Michigan after having its license suspended over no-title complaints from consumers.
The company said in a statement that it filed a motion Thursday "to immediately stop the Secretary of State's illegal and irresponsible attempt to shut down a growing Michigan business with tens of thousands of customers over what amounts to technical paperwork violations involving title and transfer issues."
The company went on to allege that the Secretary of State has "brazenly violated state (laws) in addition to its own rules, regulations and due process requirements while making false and reckless statements through press releases rather than engaging in constructive dialogue to remedy what are essentially paperwork issues."
