New York Court Says Dell Mislead Customers

A New York state judge says Dell Inc. has engaged in repeated false and deceptive advertising of its promotional credit financing and warranty terms to consumers. State Supreme Court Justice Joseph Teresi says New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo showed that “many customers” are entitled to restitution, but the record was insufficient to determine how much. When the Attorney General sued the computer maker last year, a Dell spokesperson said the company’s conduct had been honorable, customers were its top priority, and it had six million transactions in New York between 2003 and 2006. However, in May 2007, the New York Attorney General’s office had received 700 complaints against Dell and they were still coming in.
