The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) took action against four California-based credit repair companies and three individuals for misleading consumers and charging illegal fees. In two complaints filed in federal court, the Bureau alleged that the companies not only charged illegal advance fees for credit repair services, but also misrepresented their ability to repair consumers’ credit scores. Under the terms of the first final judgment, Prime Credit, L.L.C., IMC Capital, L.L.C., Commercial Credit Consultants, Blake Johnson, and Eric Schlegel have been ordered to pay a civil money penalty of more than $1.5 million. Under the terms of the second final judgment, Park View Law, known formerly as Prime Law Experts, Inc., and its owner Arthur Barens have been ordered to pay $500,000 in relinquished funds to the U.S. Treasury.
