The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) has accused rent-to-own company Acima of tricking customers into high-cost financing agreements. The CFPB on Friday (July 26) sued Acima — owned by Upbound, formerly known as Rent-a-Center — alleging that the company disguised many of its credit agreements as leases to get around consumer protection laws. “Due to Acima’s deception and obstruction, many consumers did not understand they were agreeing to expensive markups, exorbitant finance charges, and having few ways to escape their contracts,” the bureau said in a news release

SEATTLE--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Upbound, the control plane company behind the popular open source project Crossplane, today announced the newest release of Upbound available everywhere, with several enterprise features bringing faster time-to-value to companies building cloud native platforms. This leap-forward release offers a unified managed Crossplane experience that’s available for customers anywhere–whether that’s Upbound’s multi-tenant SaaS or single-tenant on customers’ own infrastructure. Along with a global Console with several features for platform operators, automatic upgrades, and enterprise security, Upbound enables platform engineers to get started with control planes faster and more easily manage Crossplane at an enterprise scale.After a year of 3x sales growth with customers like Deutsche Kreditbank, Gameloft, Millennium bcp, Variphy and more, Upbound is poised to accelerate enterprise-ready Crossplane for platform engineering teams globally.“Companies building out Crossplane-based platforms at scale have to deal with issues like tenancy and isolation when managing resources across all their cloud accounts. The latest release of Upbound enables customers to rapidly adopt and scale Crossplane by adopting a multi-Crossplane architecture, automation, added security, and the peace of mind to view and manage it from one place,” said Jan Willies, platform architect, Accenture.“You build it, you manage it” has reached a tipping point where DevOps and platform teams run into a chaotic mess administering their internal developer platforms (IDPs) alone. Platform teams seek flexibility through common, cloud native tooling while maintaining necessary security and governance controls. The solution is fundamentally building their own unified platform using control planes akin to the cloud providers.Crossplane Reinvented for the Enterprise CloudWith Upbound, platform engineers create their own central cloud native platform
