According to Underwood’s statement and the complaint—signed by Assistant Attorney General in Charge Deanna Nelson in Watertown and Assistant Attorney General Alicia Lendon—the retailer employed “unfair, abusive, false and deceptive acts and practices, deceptive credit repair services, and illegal lending in the financing of jewelry sales,” leading to eight alleged causes of action including civil usury, criminal usury and deceptive business practices.

While not naming amounts sought, the complaint asked for enjoinment of the business, disgorgement of moneys received due to illegal financing arrangements, restitution for affected consumers, and voiding and rescission of customer financing contracts, among other things.
