Case Summary
The funder and servicer of the payment plans used by consumers to pay for expensive and often ineffective investment “trainings” from Online Trading Academy (OTA) will be required to offer debt forgiveness to consumers under a proposed settlement with the 51ɫ.
Universal Guardian Acceptance, LLC (UGA) and Universal Account Servicing, LLC (UAS), have agreed to settle 51ɫ charges that they facilitated consumers’ payments to OTA, when they knew or should have known that OTA was deceiving consumers.
