Good Afternoon . . .
When does 'No More Late Fees" mean no more late fees?
According to a suit filed by New Jersey Attorney General Peter Harvey, never. Harvey has filed suit against movie renatal ginat Blockbuster for failing to disclose key terms of its policy and some stores are not participating and continue to collect late fees. "Blockbuster's ads are fradualent and decptive," according to Harvey.
The No Late Fee policy hyped by Blockbuster charges for the price of the item rented if not returned within a week after its original due date. When the items is returned, Blockbuster will credit the consumer's account for the cost of the item minus a $1.25 restocking fee.
A Blockbuster spokesperson Karen Raskopf said she was surprised by the suit since Blockbuster was "never directly contacted" by Harvey's office before filing the suit.
She said that Blckbuster stands by its policy and has done everything to explain it to consumers.
