Attorney General Steve Six announced a settlement with The Recall Center, a Utah corporation, for misusing Kansans' personal information for financial benefit. The Recall Center agreed to a consent judgment of $1,000,000 for unlawfully selling Kansas motor vehicle records to third parties. The judgment also prevents the Recall Center from using the records in any unauthorized way in the future.In January 2008, the Kansas Department of Revenue and the Information Network of Kansas entered into a contract with The Recall Center, a Utah corporation, and its owner, Mr. Keith Hayes. Pursuant to the contract, The Recall Center was permitted to purchase Kansas vehicle title and registration records, which could then be used for specific, legal purposes. The consent judgment stated that the Recall Center and Mr. Hayes sold tens of thousands of Kansas vehicle title and registration records in violation of the contract and Kansas law. The law prohibits any person from knowingly selling a list of names and addresses derived from public records for the purpose of offering for sale any property or service.
