LOS ANGELES (CNS) - California Attorney General Xavier Becerra today announced a $10.5 million partial settlement with Southland retailer Curacao, resolving multiple allegations that the chain deceived and unlawfully profited from its largely Latino customer base.
Curacao owns and operates nine department stores in Southern California and actively markets to low-income, immigrant Latino consumers. The settlement includes $10 million in debt relief for consumers who were harmed by Curacao s alleged conduct. It also includes additional debt forgiveness for customers who are still paying Curacao for unlawful small claims judgments, plus $500,000 in civil penalties.
The settlement includes injunctive terms requiring Curacao to comply with California law and treat its customers fairly and ethically.
