In 2006 class action lawsuit, the plaintiff claimed that CARFAX violated consumer protection laws by not disclosing the limitations of their service, specifically their inability to check accident records in 23 states in the U.S. while stating that their database contains information from all 50 states.[16] The lawsuit was settled in May 2007 in the Trumbull County Common Pleas Court in Warren, Ohio.[17][18] The company asserts that it has major accident information from all 50 states and it backs up its claim with a buyback guarantee.
