Alexander V. Miller, 42, of Missouri City, Texas, and his company Turbo Solutions Inc. have been barred from engaging in credit repair services after a federal court in Houston, Texas, entered a permanent injunction.
The court also entered a preliminary injunction that prohibits the defendants from making large or non-essential expenditures to preserve assets for consumer redress.
In a civil complaint filed March 1 and unsealed on March 14, the Justice Department alleged that Miller and his company violated the Credit Repair Organizations Act, the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act, the FTC Act, and the FTC’s Telemarketing Sales Rule.
The complaint alleges that the defendants used internet websites and telemarketing to falsely claim that they could improve consumers’ credit scores by removing all negative items from consumers’ credit reports.
According to the complaint, the defendants also filed or caused to be filed fake identity theft reports with the FTC. The complaint further alleges that the defendants routinely took prohibited advanced fees for their credit repair services and did not make required disclosures regarding those services.
Many consumers allegedly paid defendants a fee ranging from several hundred dollars to $1,500, but did not receive the higher credit scores defendants promised.
