Credit Repair Cloud (CRC) and its chief executive will pay $3 million in combined penalties and put in place significant compliance measures over illegally charging customers, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).
CEO Daniel Rosen will pay $2 million and CRC $1 million, the CFPB announced in a press release Thursday. The company was ordered to put in place a comprehensive compliance program to determine if the credit repair businesses the company assists are violating the Telemarketing Sale Rule (TSR).
The company also would have to remove any references to telemarketing, in any language, from all of the company’s written and online materials, according to the proposed order.
