2015-04-14 OAG PressRlse NN and Consumer Financial Protection Bureau Take Action to Stop an Illegal Tax Refund Scheme

An excerpt from the press release:

Today, the Office of the Attorney General and the Department of Justice announced, together with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB), it is suing companies and individuals who operated an illegal tax-refund scheme. The scheme was based on tax-preparation franchises steering low-income consumers, including many citizens of the Navajo Nation, toward high-cost tax-refund-anticipation loans. A proposed order, if approved by the court, would result in roughly $438,000 in total consumer redress and require the defendants to pay $438,000 in civil penalties for their unfair, deceptive, and abusive practices.
