gatortom64 1 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 N.Y. Attorney General Sues Dell By SAMANTHA GROSS Associated Press WriterNEW YORK (AP) -- New York Attorney General Andrew Cuomo on Wednesday accused Dell Inc. and its financial services affiliate of "bait and switch" advertising and failing to deliver on promised customer service.Round Rock, Texas-based Dell lured customers with zero percent financing, then switched them to a higher rate without their knowledge at the time of purchase, according to the lawsuit.Cuomo announced details of a lawsuit filed a day earlier in the New York Supreme Court, claiming that Dell and Dell Financial Services LP engaged in fraud, false advertising and deceptive business practices.Dell denied those charges in a written statement from spokesman Bob Pearson."We are confident that our practices will be found to be fair and appropriate," Pearson said. "While even one dissatisfied customer is too many, the allegations in the AG's filing are based upon a small fraction of Dell's consumer transactions in New York."Cuomo said his office had "received an unprecedented number of complaints against Dell, approximately 700 and they keep coming.""We want fairness," Cuomo said Wednesday. "Either provide the customer service packages that you sell or don't sell the packages."That number is not representative of the company's six million transactions in New York State between 2003 and 2006, said Dell spokesman, Bob Kaufman.Kaufman cited a decline in complaints submitted to the Better Business Bureau against Dell. That number dropped 12 percent nationwide between 2005 and 2006, while the number of complaints against Dell Financial Services dropped 43 percent in the same period, said Carrie Hurt, president and CEO of the BBB of Austin, Texas.While Dell frequently advertises zero percent financing plans for computer purchases, the attorney general said that as many of 85 percent of those who applied did not receive that rate.Paul Reisner, of Rye, said his excellent credit rating was permanently scarred following such a deception. The computer programmer said he was offered zero percent financing for six months, during which he paid off his $1,500 computer. He was then informed he had never qualified for the rate and was obligated to pay a 29 percent interest rate, he said."Why did I not qualify for promotional financing?" he asked. "I own my own home, always pay my bills on time."The lawsuit also claims that Dell sold onsite computer repair plans but failed to deliver, at times requiring customers to disassemble their own computers.Jaqueline Scofield, 75, said she was outraged when she and her husband were told by Dell that they would have to open the body of their computer."We both have arthritis in our knees," she said. "And to tell my husband to get down on the floor ... I'll never buy another Dell."The lawsuit seeks an order requiring Dell to pay unspecified damages to affected customers and the state is also seeking penalties and costs.In an unrelated probe, the Securities and Exchange Commission and Dell's own audit committee have been investigating the company's accounting practices.In recent months, Dell has seen a management shake-up that included the departure of several top executives - including Chief Executive Officer Kevin Rollins and Chief Financial Officer Jim Schneider - and the return of Michael Dell as CEO.With Dell at the helm, the company has been trying to orchestrate a turnaround plan to improve customer service and combat competitors who have eaten into Dell's market share.

Wandigo 1 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Dear OP:I work for DHL and we ship you're retarded excess amount of DELL boxes. You guys piss all of us drivers off to no end. The boxes are huge, take up a majority of my van space, and require that we get a signature to leave it at someones door. MOST PEOPLE WORK IN THE MORNING WHEN I DELIVER AND I HATE REATTEMPTING THEM.Please ship via UPS or Fed-Ex and annoy them, thanks. Link to post Share on other sites
PrtyPSux 0 Posted May 21, 2007 Share Posted May 21, 2007 Daniel Negreanu,I sell computers at Dell I deal exclusively with high-end gaming computers and TVs. I've been an FCP member for about a year now, and if you EVER want a Dell computer for anyone you know, I will seriously twist managements arm and make them give you the maximum discount possibleThis is such a lame thread, but i'm serious! Phil Laak ordered one recently and Todd Brunson has one too... but they're chumps compared to DN. Take some of this 12 million you're going to win from the M.E. and lets get you a 30" dual-link widescreen ultrasharp monitor along with a core 2 extreme processor.I feel so stupid that i wrote this, but on the one billionth of a percent chance that you'll actually say "what the hell lets get a new computer" i still consider it +EV.-jp.s. FCPers, please restrict your flames to one of the following:1) i'm a douchebag2) you hate Dell and want to share that hatredI bought a $3500 dell XPS laptop......the dude that sold it to me said it was "state of the art" better than any laptop I could find......funny how 8 months later the battery dies in 30 minutes, the volume is 1/4 as good as it was when I got it, it randomly shuts down sometimes, it takes 15 minutes to shut it down properly, and the ethernet entry doesnt work (which means I cant use it in most hotels, which sucks).I'm a pro too....can I get a new one from you? for free?
