CFPB v. Fort Knox National Company and Military Assistance Company, LLC
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, or CFPB, filed a lawsuit against MAC (Military Assistance Company, LLC) and its parent company, Fort Knox National Company.
We alleged that the companies charged undisclosed fees against allotment money that had accumulated in service members’ accounts. The military allotment processor did not clearly disclose various recurring fees, which could total $100 or more. Under a consent order entered into with the Bureau, Fort Knox National Company and Military Assistance Company will pay about $3.1 million in relief to harmed servicemembers.
