GOLDEN, Colo. — A judge on Friday threw out nearly four dozen lawsuits filed by a Jefferson County online electronic repair business against some of its customers. Acme Revival , which has filed at least 85 cases in Colorado courts against both businesses and individuals, claims that some of its customers abandoned their devices, resulting in thousands of dollars in storage fees and unpaid diagnostics charges.
“Obviously, Acme Revival is disappointed by the judge’s ruling today,” Garcia said. “I do think that the issues that were ruled upon were not considerate of contract law that is plain and obvious. But we’ll have to take this upon appeal and see what the district court can do for us.”Customers who reached out to Denver7 Investigates about Acme Revival said they initially had no idea they were going to be required to pay storage fees.
