State Agrees To Settlement with Cherry Hill Triplex in 2009

It appears as though the Division of Consumer Affairs has issued a press release settling an open matter with Cherry Hill Triplex, which is actually Foulke Management Corporation. Cherry Hill Triplex has agreed to a $750,000 settlement with the Attorney General’s Office and the Division of Consumer Affairs: $450,000 is restitution and $300,000 in the civil penalties, which are suspended. The Division of Consumer Affairs case resolves around a lawsuit they filed in March 2006 alleging violations of the New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act. Allegations arose out of the companies’ advertisement of $8,000 guaranteed for the trade, no credit check and instant credit qualifications. The Division of Consumer Affairs was alleging that Cherry Hill Triplex specifically stated “You instantly qualified, regardless of your credit”. The state also alleged that Cherry Hill Triplex failed to properly display prices on new and used motor vehicles. It appears as though Cherry Hill Triplex got caught making promises that they could not keep. The New Jersey Consumer Fraud Act prohibits affirmative misrepresentations that have the capacity to mislead.

Te Division of Consumer affairs has the power to enforce the Consumer Fraud Act and file suit and negotiate fines and penalties that have been or could be assessed by the State.  This Division has investigated and fined many dealer for deceptive practices.  Remember that you can files suit on your own against and business even if under investigation by the Division of Consumer Affairs

New Jersey has resolved claims against HIKO energy. It was alleged that this company was making false promises as to savings that customers would receive when they switched their service to HIKO energy.

They mislead customers based on the following:

Guarantees that, if they switched from their utility companies, they would see monthly savings of as much as 10 percent in their electric and/or natural gas bills during the first six months.

Statements to consumers that, after the first six months, their monthly bills would never exceed those of the utility companies.

According to the company’s website they represent the following:

HIKO Energy, LLC is committed to lowering the cost for energy consumers in all markets we serve. As a local, independent supplier, we understand the needs of both residents and businesses within our greater community. With that in mind, we strive to offer the most competitive pricing in the marketplace. Our goal is to provide excellent customer service and a tailored cost savings plan that’s right for each person or need.

This company now must change their practices.
