Delaware joins 8 states seeking answers from federal consumer bureau over restitution delays

Attorney General Kathy Jennings and leaders from eight other states are urging the federal Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) to issue long-delayed restitution to victims of a predatory tech sales program.

In a letter this document with ReadSpeaker docReader sent to the CFPB’s acting director, the multistate coalition details how a court order against Prehired LLC for illegal, deceptive, and abusive practices resulted in $4.2 million in restitution for some 660 consumers nationwide, yet unexplained delays at the agency level are keeping those checks from being distributed. The court order came in November 2023, and the states worked with the CFPB toward allocating the funds. The CFPB announced the allocation in May 2024.

States received regular updates throughout 2024 regarding the federal government's progress on distributing these funds to Prehired’s victims. But, in February of this year, the CFPB stopped providing information about the process.
