A Palm Beach County driver is suing General Motors, OnStar LLC and LexisNexis Risk Solutions Inc. in federal court, alleging that his auto insurance costs soared after the defendants shared his driving data without his permission.

Romeo Chicco filed the class-action complaint in the Southern District of Florida on March 13, blaming the defendants for “erroneous reports of derogatory and negative driving information” being disclosed to insurers without Chicco’s consent.

The lawsuit alleges that what happened to the plaintiff represents violations of the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act and Florida’s Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act.
