Cureton, Judge:

These cases involve allegations of fraud and violation of S.C. Code Ann. Sections 56-15-10 through 130 (1976) (Motor Vehicle Dealers Unfair Trade Practices Act). The cases were referred to the master for entry of a final order with direct appeal to the South Carolina Supreme Court. The master found Newsome committed fraud and also violated the motor vehicle dealers act. The master awarded actual and punitive damages. Both Newsome and the Credit Union appeal portions of the master’s order. We affirm in part, reverse in part, and remand.
