MacNeil Motors customers may be eligible for compensation

Consumers who suffered a financial loss dealing with a Saskatoon vehicle dealership may be eligible to file a claim.

The Financial and Consumer Affairs Authority of Saskatchewan (FCAA) said a bond issued to MacNeil Motors has been demanded and paid.

A bond is a licensing requirement for dealerships in Saskatchewan.

It comprises a sum of money that the bonding company agrees to pay if a licensee fails to follow specific rules outlined in the province’s Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act.

According to the FCAA’s website, MacNeil contravened various sections of the Consumer Protection and Business Practices Act and the Consumer Protection and Business Practices Regulations in dealing with at least nine consumers.
