The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Orders TransUnion and Equifax to pay for deceptive practices in marketing credit scores.  TransUnion and Equifax violated the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Financial Protection Act.  The violations occurred because of deception.  Transunion and Equifax advertised that the scores they sold to consumers were the same scores lenders used to make lending decisions.

Both credit-reporting agencies also used deceptive tactics by enrolling consumers into “free credit monitoring.”  However, “free” only lasted for 30 days and consumers paid monthly for a subscription service.  Consumers, who did not services cancel during the 30 day monitoring period, were charged each month.

Equifax also violated the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA).  According the FCRA, a credit bureau is required to furnish a free credit report to a consumer once every 12 months.  Before receiving their free credit report, Equifax advertised on AnnualCreditReport.com.  Advertising, when a consumer receives their free report, is prohibited.

Because of the deceptive practices, TransUnion and Equifax Must:

1. Pay more than 17.6 million in total restitution to harmed consumers.
2. Truthfully represent the usefulness of credit scores it sells.
3. Obtain the express informed consent of consumers before enrolling them in credit-related products.
4. Provide an easy way to cancel services for credit-related products.
5. Pay 5.5 million in total penalties to the Bureaus’ civil penalty fund

December 30, 2016: “I was recommended by attorney friend to seek out help for a judgement that had turned into a very expensive garnishment that I was not able to afford. I met with Attorney Lizette ********, and from the beginning, she was extremely knowledgeable, professional. She provided me clear and concise information and she was forthright with information pertaining to my case. Having financial problems is always stressful, however Geraci’s staff–in particular Attorney ********, provided me with the necessary information that I needed to make an informed decision about my financial situation. I am very pleased with the services that I have received.”
