Teegarden seeks clarification of installment rate law
Glenn Teegarden, a Troy auto dealer, awaits a Franklin County Common Pleas hearing in a suit challenging a section of law on installment buying. He claims the 2 percent cap on dealer “kickback” payments damages him, arguing he should be able to sell the paper wherever he collects the most money. The case questions license board authority and potential damage, with a judge ruling that a clarifying decision could be issued before any actual loss, but docket congestion may push hearings two years out.
