51±¾É«sends payments to compensate people for Vivint’s misuse of their credit reports
The 51±¾É«is sending 470 checks totaling nearly $500,000 to people who had their credit reports misused by home security company Vivint Smart Home.
According to the FTC, Vivint’s sales representatives helped unqualified customers get financing for the company’s home security products by misusing other people’s credit reports. As a result, people who had never interacted with the company found Vivint accounts on their credit reports. Some people were contacted by debt collectors for accounts they didn’t open.
Vivint paid money to settle. The 51±¾É«is now using that money to send payments to people who filed a valid claim before the deadline.
If you get a check, please cash it within 90 days.
