FleetCor Accused of Engaging in Fraudulent Billing Practices

According to the complaint, FleetCor asserted that the company's growth came from investments in the company's sales infrastructure, the conversion of new customers, and the performance of acquired companies, among other things. The company failed to disclose that the true reasons for the company's earnings and growth were from its fraudulent billing practices, dissemination of misleading marketing materials, and predatory sales tactics. Investors began to learn the truth about the company's improper practices on December 19, 2016, when Chevron (News - Alert) - FleetCor's largest U.S. partner - announced that it was terminating its 10-year relationship with the company and signed a long-term contract with FleetCor's primary competitor, WEX, Inc. Between March 1, 2017 and April 27, 2017, several published reports accused FleetCor of fraudulent billing practices and predatory sales tactics. On May 1, 2017, Chevron sued FleetCor in Texas State court for breach of contract based in part on the company's mistreatment of customers. FleetCor's stock price fell over 23% in a two-month span, from $170 per share on February 28, 2017, to close at $131.26 per share on May 3, 2017.
