Colorado Springs Pueblo, CO, November 13, 2026 —
Colorado is expected to receive substantial funds from two separate settlements aimed at addressing unfair consumer practices. The state will benefit from over $87,000 stemming from a nationwide agreement with Family Dollar concerning price discrepancies. Additionally, Colorado is slated to receive more than $1.36 million in lease forgiveness and restitution as part of a settlement with the rent-to-own financing company Acima. These settlements conclude investigations into allegations of deceptive advertising and unfair consumer practices by the involved companies.
The settlement with Family Dollar is part of a broader, nationwide resolution addressing issues related to price discrepancies. Consumers may have been affected by instances where advertised prices differed from prices charged at the point of sale. The exact nature and timeline of these discrepancies were part of the investigations leading to the settlement.
In a separate action, Acima, a company that provides rent-to-own financing agreements, has agreed to terms following an investigation into its advertising practices. The settlement addresses allegations of deceptive advertising concerning its rental-purchase agreements. As a result, over $1.36 million will be provided to Colorado in the form of lease forgiveness and restitution for affected consumers. This restitution aims to compensate individuals who may have been misled by Acima’s marketing.
Both settlements are the result of governmental investigations into consumer protection violations. The funds allocated to Colorado are intended to provide financial relief and address the impact of the investigated practices on state residents. Further details regarding the distribution of these funds are anticipated to be released.
