February 15, 2019-OMVIC, Ontario's vehicle sales regulator, has ordered the IMMEDIATE SUSPENSION of 519224 Ontario LTD. o/a Tom Pirie Motor Sales, 190 Lombard Street, Smiths Falls, and of Thomas Pirie, officer and director of Tom Pirie Motor Sales. As a result, Pirie and Tom Pirie Motor Sales may not legally sell, lease, buy or consign motor vehicles.
Pirie also operates 2318231 Ontario LTD. o/a RV Kemptville, 2651 Country Road 43, Kemptville. RV Kemptville's registration was terminated after lapsing on February 10, 2019. Therefore, RV Kemptville may not legally sell, lease, buy or consign motor vehicles.
In conjunction with the Suspension Order, OMVIC also issued a Proposal to Revoke the Registrations of Thomas Pirie and Tom Pirie Motor Sales.
According to OMVIC CEO and Registrar John Carmichael, Immediate Suspension orders are only issued when the regulator believes a "dealer's conduct may place the car-buying public at risk." The immediate suspension of Tom Pirie Motor Sales was triggered after consumer complaints and an OMVIC inspection. The dealer allegedly:
did not remove liens from vehicles traded in, leaving consumers responsible for the debts
sold 46 vehicles without first discharging liens registered against the vehicles
failed to remit payments to an extended warranty company for 24 warranties putting customers at risk of not having coverage
obstructed an inspection
failed to provide records to the Registrar as required
In one instance, OMVIC alleges a consumer purchased a vehicle from the dealer: the contract included the customer's trade-in and set out the dealer's responsibility to pay off the loan on the trade. The dealer failed to do so leaving the customer responsible for the debt.
In another similar case, the dealer allegedly took six months to pay off the loan on a trade-in resulting in the consumer making 13 additional loan payments on a vehicle she no longer owned.
