FTC Wins Court Order Halting Credit Glory Operations

Credit Glory has marketed credit-repair services since 2016, promising consumers it could remove negative information and improve their credit profiles. The business drew scrutiny because U.S. law bars credit-repair companies from charging before promised services are fully performed, while deceptive claims can violate federal consumer-protection rules. The Federal Trade Commission alleges Credit Glory used misleading assurances and upfront fees to target consumers seeking help with damaged credit.

The FTC said it obtained a court order immediately halting Credit Glory and 16 affiliated companies as its case proceeds. According to the agency, the network has operated since 2016 and collected nearly $200 million from consumers through false credit-repair promises and unlawful advance charges. The emergency order suspends the companies’ operations while the litigation continues, and the allegations remain subject to adjudication.
