Digital Transactions Authoritative, insightful and timely information for payments professionals
- The Federal Trade Commission and the state of Florida reached a settlement with Chargebacks911 in a lawsuit they filed in April alleging the company and its owners use multiple unfair techniques to prevent consumers from winning chargeback disputes. The settlement would prohibit them from providing chargeback mitigation services to high-risk clients that use affiliate marketing and negative option plans. They also would not be able to knowingly use deceptive or misleading information on behalf of their clients and would prevent them from using techniques like value-added promotions to help clients evade fraud-monitoring programs, the FTC said. They also would pay a civil penalty of $100,000 and $50,000 in legal costs to Florida. “While an agreement has been reached between all parties, the company maintains it has and will continue to uphold its commitment to transparency and compliant business practices,” Chargebacks911 said in a statement. “We want to emphasize that this settlement is not an admission of wrongdoing but rather a resolution that reaffirms our dedication to serving as responsible participants in the industry.”
