ROUND ROCK, Texas (AP) -- Dell Inc. says it is settling a class-action lawsuit that claimed the company made misleading financing and service offers to PC buyers.
Dell will pay $3.85 million to 45 states, including Utah, participating in the settlement.
The lawsuit claimed Dell offered customers zero-percent financing but later applied a high interest rate without their knowledge. The lawsuit also claimed problems with Dell's warranty service and rebate programs.
