Brian Coryat d/b/a Enterprising Solutions; Consent Agreement With Analysis To Aid Public Comment

In settlement of alleged violations of federal law prohibiting unfair acts and practices and unfair methods of competition, this consent agreement, accepted subject to final Commission approval, would prohibit the Santa Barbara, California-based respondent from misrepresenting, in his advertisements for a credit repair kit, any remedy for credit history problems available under the Fair Credit Reporting Act, including the ability to remove accurate but adverse information from credit reports. It would also prohibit the company from misrepresenting, in its advertisement for a work-at-home business, the income, earnings, or sales from any business opportunity and would prohibit any claims about past, present, or future earnings unless, at the time of making the representation, it possesses and relies upon competent and reliable evidence that substantiates the claim. The consent agreement settles allegations stemming from advertisements on the Internet for Coryat/Enterprising's The Credit Repair Kit product and Credit Repair Agency business opportunity.
