Robert Stout, who traded under the name Global Internet Federal Registry, and Donald J. Lyttle, who was a director of an on-line “credit repair” company GetOutFromUnder.com, collected personal identifying information from consumers including credit card information.
The final settlement means that both men are now barred from misrepresenting themselves in any advertising, marketing, promotion, distribution or sale of any products or services over the internet. This comes after an earlier preliminary court order in the case required them to destroy all of the information they had collected.
The FTC will be allowed to monitor all activities of the pair to ensure compliance with the settlement.
