Dell Inc. Misled Customers According to N.Y. Judge

According to a New York judge Tuesday, he concluded that Dell Inc. engaged in a repeated false and deceptive advertising of its promotional credit financing and warranties. State Supreme Court, Justice Joseph Terei ordered the computer retailer to more clearly disclose that most customers do not qualify for free financing or get "next day" repair service. That is for sure. New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo sued Dell last year. Teresi gave him until Dec. 1 to identify all consumer claims for third party repairs, new computers or higher interest payments than they would have paid otherwise. I am not sure but I think they should check out their rebate plan. Unless it has improved, it always took 6 months or more to get your rebate when you bought a computer, if you got it at all.
