NC inspections find overcharging at 2 major retailers. One is being sued

In North Carolina, if a store’s advertised prices don’t match the prices that ring up at the register, it’s a problem. State inspectors with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services visit retailers across North Carolina to compare prices on shelves and at checkout. If there are too many errors, the store is subject to fines. And in the last quarter, the state fined 19 stores, including two in Wake County, for this issue. But there are even greater consequences than fines. North Carolina Attorney General Jeff Jackson announced this week that the state was joining a lawsuit that alleges that budget retailer Dollar General has been allowing this practice to continue, causing customers to be overcharged. Here’s what to know about the price-scanning errors: Two Wake County Walmarts paid a combined $4,500 in fines for price-scanning errors after failing state inspections. Inspectors found a 16% error rate at a Raleigh store in June and a 5% error rate at a store on Apex Peakway in July. They were among 19 North Carolina stores fined last quarter by the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services. North Carolina, 19 other states and the Federal Trade Commission are suing Dollar General for

Triangle man got a $90 parking ticket in Raleigh. How he got the fine dismissed

A man who parked legally on a Raleigh street still received a $90 notice from a private parking management company. But he was able to fight the citation and got it dismissed. Full story: Man got a $90 ticket parking legally on a Raleigh street. He fought back — and won. Here’s what happened and what you can do if you have a similar experience: Jerry Canterbury found a notice of noncompliance from Parking Revenue Recovery Services on his car in late September, demanding $90 within 30 days. He had photos showing he was parked within painted lines on a public street, not in the private lot PRRS manages. Canterbury disputed the ticket online, reported it to Raleigh’s parking division and alerted the state Department of Justice. On Oct. 1, the city’s transportation department told Canterbury that the citation would be dismissed. PRRS has received more than 900 complaints from customers on the Better Business Bureau in the past 12 months. In 2023, the Colorado attorney general settled with the company, after it charged fines of $80 to $88 to drivers for issues including entering license plates incorrectly and missing 15-minute grace periods.
