Case Summary:Porsche Financial Services, Inc. is settling a class action alleging it accepted standard-form motor vehicle lease agreements in Florida that overcharged lessees for rent and taxis on their single-payment leases. The complaint alleged the agreements did not use the lessee’s trade-in value as a Capitalized Cost Reduction (similar to a down payment) to reduce the cost of the consumers’ leases, which it claims is a violation of the Florida Unfair and Deceptive Trade Practices Act (FDUTPA).
