What the complaint alleges

  • false reference prices
  • inflated "regular" or "list" prices
  • false urgency or limited-time claims
  • percentage-off claims measured against a false price
  • prices the store allegedly never charged
The purpose and effect of a false reference price is to lead consumers to believe that the product has a higher ordinary market value and that the advertised selling price provides savings that consumers would lose by delaying their purchases.
From the complaint.

The filing

A complaint is one side's allegations. Nothing on this page is a finding by any court, and the defendant has not been found to have done anything wrong. Payback is not a law firm and this is not legal advice.
