WASHINGTON (AP) -- CompUSA has agreed to settle a government complaint over how it handles rebates.
The federal government says the Dallas, Texas-based company deceived people who bought computer products, but failed to receive promised rebates from $15 to $100.
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) ordered CompUSA to overhaul its rebate programs.
The deal announced Friday also requires CompUSA, for the next 20 years, to ensure all manufacturers of products sold in its stores pay rebates promptly.
