Compassionate Credit Repair, LLC, founded in 2020, marketed itself as a service to help consumers improve their credit scores by removing negative items from their credit reports. The company operated primarily through telemarketing, charging consumers significant upfront fees. In July 2023, the U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) took legal action to halt the company's operations, alleging it violated the Credit Repair Organizations Act (CROA) and the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) by charging illegal advance fees and misrepresenting its ability to repair credit. A federal court granted the FTC's request for a temporary restraining order, effectively closing the business.
