Credit Karma, LLC
The Federal Trade Commission has taken action against credit services company Credit Karma for deploying dark patterns to misrepresent that consumers were “pre-approved” for credit card offers. The FTC alleges that the company used claims that consumers were “pre-approved” and had “90% odds” to entice them to apply for offers that, in many instances, they ultimately did not qualify for. The agency’s order requires the company to pay $3 million that will be sent to consumers who wasted time applying for these credit cards and to stop making these types of deceptive claims.
In January 2023, the Commission finalized the order in this case.
In October 2024, the Federal Trade Commission sent more than $2.5 million to consumers who were misled by deceptive claims from credit services company Credit Karma.
