Kansas wins judgment in records case

? A Utah company has agreed to pay $1 million under a consent judgment for selling Kansas motor vehicle records to third parties.

Kansas Attorney General Stephen Six said Thursday the judgment against The Recall Center also bans the company from using those records and other personal information of Kansans for unauthorized purposes.

The Kansas Department of Revenue last year agreed to sell vehicle title and registration records to the company. It was allowed to use those records for such things as helping automakers notify consumers about vehicle safety issues or letting insurance companies process new policy applications.

But the consent judgment says The Recall Center sold tens of thousands of those records to other unauthorized parties.
