Bermudo v. Tahmassebi
Ismael Bermudo filed suit against Farhad Tahmassebi and Euro American Auto Co., Inc. (Euro; collectively defendants) for damages arising out of Bermudo’s purchase of an automobile. In brief, although defendants were obligated to pay off the balance of a loan used to finance Bermudo’s trade-in vehicle, they did not pay off the loan. As a result, Bermudo was subject to collections efforts by the bank holding the loan, his credit score declined, and he was forced to file suit against the bank and defendants. Following a bench trial, the court entered judgment in Bermudo’s favor and awarded him $31,760 in damages. On appeal, defendants argue insufficient evidence supported the court’s liability findings on claims for fraud and unlawful business practices, and the damages award was not supported by substantial evidence. We affirm the trial court judgment.
