The Debtor is a debtor-affiliate of Tri-Continental Exchange Ltd. The Debtors sell auto insurance policies and
underwrites related insurance products.
In January 2006, Nationwide Mutual Insurance Company sued the Debtors for trademark infringement and dilution.
The U.S. District Court for the Central District of California found out that the Debtors were using the Nationwide name to sell insurance policies to
customers. None of the Debtors were affiliated with the company.
Nationwide asserts that the Debtors claimed to be "administrators of a pool
of insurers", of which Nationwide is a member. Subsequently, the Court granted Nationwide a preliminary injunction against the Debtors. Furthermore, the company and several state authorities have issued cease and desist orders against the Debtors.
