FTC sends checks to people who paid for credit monitoring services
What the FTC says about this program
The FTC is sending 42,849 checks totaling nearly $1.9 million to people who were charged for credit monitoring services from MyScore, eFreeScore.com, CreditUpdates.com, FreeCreditNation.com, and Credit Bureau Center LLC.
According to the FTC, the defendants placed fake rental property ads and then told potential renters that they had to get a “free” credit report before they could see the property. In reality, the defendants didn’t own any rental homes, and the credit reports weren’t free. People who signed up for a free report were subscribed to a monthly credit monitoring service and were often charged for several months before they noticed.
The FTC filed a lawsuit in January 2017. After a long legal battle, in September 2021, a federal judge found that the defendants had broken the law and ordered them to pay money. The defendants lost on appeal, and the lawsuit ended in June 2024.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
