CompUSA Settles U.S. Rebates Complaint
From Associated Press
The nation’s leading computer retailer, CompUSA Inc., has agreed to settle a government complaint that charged the company with deceiving consumers who bought computer products but failed to receive promised cash rebates from $15 to $100 each, the Federal Trade Commission said.
The regulatory agency ordered Dallas-based CompUSA to overhaul its rebate programs.
Court papers did not indicate how much money or how many customers might be involved. The settlement requires rebate payments for any eligible consumers that CompUSA can identify through its records, and for any eligible buyers who contact CompUSA or the FTC over the next 75 days.
