    Tempoe's $35M Settlement Affects Clients Across US, Including Georgians, Others in SE

    "Tempoe lured consumers into complex and costly leases for furniture and appliances, and overcharged consumers double or even triple the purchase price due to confusing hidden fees," Connecticut Attorney General William Tong said. "Our settlement forces Tempoe to cancel all existing leases and allows consumers to keep their merchandise without any further payments.
