Joyce Pontiac named in false advertising suit
DeKALB - The Illinois Attorney General's office filed a lawsuit in DeKalb County Circuit Court Thursday alleging that DeKalb-based Joyce Pontiac placed a deceptive advertising insert in a May edition of the Daily Chronicle.
In the insert included with the May 14 newspaper, Joyce claimed a "major car rental company" had gone bankrupt, resulting in more than a 100 cars available for sale at the dealership.
The attorney general's office says it has found no evidence of such a bankruptcy and that the claim was used as a pretext to get people to visit the dealership.
Joyce is charged with three violations of the Illinois Consumer Fraud and Deceptive Practices Act and three violations of the Illinois Motor Vehicle Advertising Regulations.
