Peterson v. Enterprise Rent-a-Car Company etc. CA4
Plaintiff and appellant Dale Allen Peterson appeals the grant of summary judgment in favor of defendants and respondents Enterprise Rent-A-Car Company of Los Angeles, LLC (Enterprise). Peterson rented a car from Enterprise at a Riverside location and returned it with body damage that neither Peterson nor any Enterprise employee observed when he rented the car. The damage to the vehicle was $564.80. Enterprise kept $340, which it claimed was a deposit paid by Peterson at the time he rented the vehicle. Enterprise then demanded the remaining balance, eventually turning the matter over to a collection agency.
Peterson filed a lawsuit claiming violations of Civil Code section 1750, et. seq., the Consumer Legal Remedies Act (CLRA) and Business and Professions Code section 17200, the Unfair Competition Law (UCL) based on Enterprise requiring him to sign an electronic rental agreement and for automatically taking money on his credit card without resolution of the cause of damage.
