NEW YORK Blockbuster will augment consumer communications and pay about $630,000 to settle claims by 47 states and the District of Columbia that the movie rental chain misinformed consumers with its “No Late Fees” campaign.

The agreement, disclosed by the office of Oregon attorney general Hardy Myers, requires Dallas-based Blockbuster to “make refunds to consumers who claim the campaign misled them into thinking they could keep the video or DVD for as long as they liked.”
