On 4 December 2014, Plaintiffs filed an amended complaint, in which they added Capital One as a party-defendant to all claims, except for tortious breach of contract. Plaintiffs alleged claims against Adams for: (1) fraud (2) tortious breach of contract (3) civil conspiracy (4) unfair and deceptive trade practices, pursuant to N.C. Plaintiffs filed a complaint against Adams on 13 March 2014. The specific cost of actual repairs to the vehicle itself was not disclosed. According to the report, a claim on the policy covering the vehicle was filed on 22 June 2012 and $7,539.00 had been paid out for property damages on that claim. Plaintiffs contacted their insurance agent, who produced an auto loss history report on the vehicle. Plaintiffs brought the vehicle to Hendrick Honda for repairs, where it was discovered a motor mount and an antilock braking system (“ABS”) modulator valve were broken. Plaintiffs allegedly first learned the vehicle had previously sustained frame damage through an “AutoCheck report” at this time. Plaintiffs took the vehicle to Hickory Used Car Superstore to explore trading it in for another vehicle.

The vehicle began to experience various mechanical problems sometime after the date of purchase. Plaintiffs signed a Buyer's guide “As Is-No Warranty” disclosure and agreement as part of their sales contract to purchase the vehicle. Adams also provided a “Carfax report,” which stated the vehicle had two previous owners and no accident or damage had been reported to Carfax.

The salesperson purportedly told Plaintiffs, to the best of his knowledge, the vehicle had not been involved in a collision or other occurrence to the extent that the cost of repairs exceeded 25% of the vehicle's fair market value. Plaintiffs purchased the vehicle from Adams for $15,843.70. It was announced during the auction, and prior to sale, that the vehicle had sustained frame damage.
