In a lawsuit, Attorney General Phil Weiser is asking a federal bankruptcy court not to allow debt relief for Acme Revival and its owner Logan Beck after an investigation by the Colorado Department of Law found the company defrauded dozens of consumers. Acme Revival, which until February operated an online business out of a warehouse in Conifer, routinely deceived customers with promises to repair “anything, even when others don’t/won’t,” but often wound up holding consumers’ devices hostage while racking up illegal fees. In dozens of instances, the company filed lawsuits for unpaid fees that many customers had no idea they owed until they were served with lawsuits.

“Consumers sent Acme Revival their devices under the guise of a reasonable repair price, only to be quoted unreasonably high prices, charged egregious deceptive and junk fees, provided terrible service or no service at all, or served with a lawsuit without warning. Our investigation showed that the company defrauded consumers. That’s why we are taking action to ensure that consumers—not fraudsters—are the ones protected.” – AG Weiser
