LightYear Dealer Technologies, LLC settled Federal Trade Commission allegations that the auto dealer software provider failed to take reasonable steps to secure consumers' data, leading to a breach that exposed the personal information of millions of consumers.
In November 2017, the Federal Trade Commission charged a Georgia-based debt collection business with tricking people into paying money for debts they did not owe. A federal court temporarily halted the scheme and froze its assets at the FTC’s request. In September 2018, the operators settled the FTC’s claims and are now banned from the debt collection business and from buying or selling debt. The FTC mailed refund checks in September 2019 totaling more than $516,000 to 3,977 consumers as part of the settlement.
