The FTC has obtained federal court orders banning the companies and people listed below from participating in all or specific types of debt relief businesses. Generally speaking, debt relief is any program or service that offers to change the terms of a debt between a person and one or more creditors or debt collectors, including a reduction of the loan balance, interest rate, or fees owed.
Companies may offer relief from different kinds of debt, including home mortgages (often called Mortgage Assistance Relief Services or “MARS”), student loans, payday loans, credit card debts, automobile loans, or tax debts. Companies may also offer different kinds of debt relief services, including debt settlement, debt consolidation, debt negotiation, debt management, foreclosure prevention, or loan modification. Some of the bans listed below prohibit participation in specific types of debt relief businesses, such as debt settlement or debt negotiation, while other prohibit participation in any type of debt relief business.
Click “view case” for information about the lawsuit that resulted in the ban, including press releases and links to the legal complaints. Click “view order” to see the federal court order that permanently prohibits the person or company from participating in the debt relief business. – Source
