The following describes a government action that has been resolved by either a settlement or a decision by a court or administrative agency. If the matter is being appealed, it will be noted below.
On May 15, 2023, Snap Finance, LLC entered into a settlement with Pennsylvania's Office of the Attorney General. This settles allegations that the business misled consumers about the basics of their contracts, including advertising its rental-purchase agreements and rental-installment contracts as "100-Day Cash Payoffs" when consumers were actually signing a 12-month agreement that included leasing fees equivalent to 152% APR interest.
Under the terms of the settlement, Snap Finance and its affiliates, Snap RTO LLC, Snap Second Look LLC, and Snap Finance Holdings, LLC was ordered to pay $7,300,000 to consumers as cash restitution payments and another $3,150,000 in consumer debt relief.
The settlement should not be considered an admission of guilt or a finding of a violation of the law.
