We were contacted, rather pursued by Hovey Eordekian Jr. To let him sell a car we listed in the Boston Herald for sale. He promised he could sell the car for several thousand more than we were asking. We paid him $595, and signed a contract. Never heard from him again. I did a little footwork and found that this is not the first time Hovey has had this issue.in fact, he has been enjoined by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts from ever having anything to do with buyung or selling cars again. Here is the Massachusets AG report from 1993 on Hovey and his pal Brian Kitteridge, DBA / AVCAR... Souns familiar? I strongly suggest anyone who has been a victim of Hovey Eordekian and Skyline contact the Massachusetts Attorney General. We have.
From Mass AG report 1993:
AVCAR
"Commonwealth v. Hovey Eordekian, Jr. And Brian Kittredge, d/b/a AVCAR
In May, the Division entered into consent judgments with Hovey Eordekian,
Jr. And Brian Kittredge who allegedly operated a phony business of selling the
automobiles of private individuals for a sales commission, without ever turning
over the sales proceeds to the owners. The defendants allegedly contacted con-
sumers who had placed ads in newspapers to sell their cars. The consumers were
allegedly led to believe that the defendants, operating the business under the
name AVCAR, could obtain a higher selling price than the consumer would oth-
erwise obtain. Under the terms of the consent judgment, the two men are per-
manently enjoined from soliciting, selling, or accepting any fees in the consign-
ment, lease, sale, or brokerage of motor vehicles. Additionally, the judgment
also calls for over $800,000 in restitution, civil penalties, and costs; defendants
currently have no assets to make the payments. (m. Sullivan, McVey'
