Los Angeles, CA (PRWEB) April 13, 2010 -- Today, Kingsley & Kingsley and the Law Offices of Jeffrey D. Fulton, on behalf of Plaintiffs Marsha Davis and Marie Villafuerte, filed a complaint in Sacramento Superior Court (complaint number 34-2010-00075385) against Beck’s Furniture alleging that they engaged in unfair competition, false advertising, negligent misrepresentation and fraud in the marketing and advertizing of its free grocery promotion at its stores throughout California.

The basic advertisement stated that if a customer purchased $497 in furniture they would receive $500 in free groceries. The complaint alleges that the advertisements did not disclose the fact that there was an initial fee of $9.95 to enroll in the program. Further, only $25 worth of groceries could be redeemed per month. Moreover, in order to receive the $25 rebate one had to purchase $100 in groceries.
Eric Kingsley, attorney for plaintiffs, stated "Our complaint alleges that the advertisement program that the company put on TV and in the newspapers was not the program customers received. In fact, Beck’s outsourced the rebate program to three separate companies." CBS 13 confirmed (see above) that the first company went bankrupt and then the second one stopped honoring claims. Now, they have hired a third company. “Beck’s own corporate representative estimated the outstanding rebates are worth $3.5 million," said Kingsley, quoting the CBS 13 story.
