Charlotte–Lee–Collier

Nearly 50 individuals have sued The Hertz Corp. in Delaware alleging the rental car giant reported vehicles stolen while the drivers were in good standing.

The lawsuit was filed July 14, the same day a federal judge issued a decision allowing a group of alleged victims to move their cases out of bankruptcy court and into state court. The suit was in bankruptcy court because the company filed for Chapter 11 reorganization in 2020.
