In a letter addressed to the major consumer reporting agencies (CRAs), New Hampshire and 36 other states are urging them to stop charging fees for credit freezes and fees to lift or temporarily lift credit freezes on consumers’ accounts.
The complaint, filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Connecticut, alleges that with Heritage as the ringleader, the companies regularly colluded to illegal bidding practices for two generic drugs: doxycycline hyclate delayed release, an antibiotic used to treat a range of conditions including respiratory tract infections; and glyburide, an oral diabetes medication.
The attorneys general allege that Sirius XM engaged in misleading, unfair, and deceptive acts or practices in violation of state consumer protection laws. New Hampshire will receive approximately $53,000 from this settlement with those funds being designated for future consumer protection investigation and enforcement efforts.
