PROG Holdings Responds to Litigation Filed by Pennsylvania Attorney General
SALT LAKE CITY, August 25, 2022 - PROG Holdings, Inc. (NYSE:PRG), the fintech holding company for Progressive Leasing, Vive Financial, and Four Technologies, today issued the following statement in connection with a lawsuit filed by the Pennsylvania Attorney General regarding its Progressive Leasing business:
We are deeply disappointed with the Pennsylvania Attorney General’s decision to file a complaint against our Progressive Leasing business. While we appreciate and support the important role the Pennsylvania Attorney General plays in protecting Pennsylvania consumers, Progressive Leasing has always been committed to transparent business practices and a superior customer experience. We believe Progressive Leasing sets the standard for its industry and we are extremely proud of the work it does every day to provide solutions for its customers’ needs. To that end, we are very appreciative of the support Governor Tom Wolf and the Pennsylvania State Legislature have shown by their recent modernization of the antiquated law upon which the Attorney General’s complaint is based. House Bill 2709, which goes into effect on September 9, 2022, effectively ratifies the exact type of electronic disclosures Progressive Leasing has been making for years in Pennsylvania. Accordingly, we will vigorously defend Progressive Leasing in court and look forward to Progressive Leasing continuing to provide Pennsylvania consumers with the flexible lease-to-own solutions they need.
