Let's simplify the expression step by step:

The expression is:

\[
-4.08 \div 1.2 - (-4.2) \times 1.5
\]

1. **Calculate \(-4.08 \div 1.2\)**:
\[
-4.08 \div 1.2 = -3.4
\]

2. **Calculate \((-4.2) \times 1.5\)**:
\[
-4.2 \times 1.5 = -6.3
\]

Now, since we're subtracting a negative, this will turn into addition:
\[
- (-6.3) = +6.3
\]

3. **Combine the results**:
\[
-3.4 + 6.3 = 2.9
\]

So, the simplified expression is:

\[
\boxed{2.9}
\]
