CFPB v. Global Client Solutions, et al
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, reached a legal settlement with Global Client Solutions (GCS) in August of 2014.
The CFPB alleged that GCS broke the law by helping debt-relief companies to collect illegal fees that people paid in advance for debt relief programs. The final order banned Global Client Solutions from enabling other companies to collect illegal fees from consumers. The defendants will be subject to monitoring by the CFPB and will be required to make reports to the CFPB to ensure their compliance.
