  • CFPB Sues Horizon Card Services and CEO Robert Kane for Illegally Baiting, Gouging, and Trapping Families in High-Fee Credit Cards

    September 15, 2024

    WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) today sued Horizon Card Services and its CEO Robert Kane for tricking consumers into signing up for its expensive membership credit card. Horizon’s credit card, which could come with almost $300 in annual fees on a card with a $500 credit limit, could only be used to purchase goods from the company’s overpriced online store and nowhere else. The CFPB alleges Horizon and Kane lured consumers into the membership program through deceptive marketing. Horizon charged consumers illegal and excessive fees, and also made it unreasonably difficult for consumers to cancel memberships and obtain refunds. The CFPB is asking the court to end Horizon and Kane’s illegal conduct, and to order them to pay a fine and redress to consumers.

Member Success Stories

Success Story

We engaged Compliance Alliance nearly four years ago to assist in managing the many new regulations and continuous changes to existing regulations. The tools C/A offered at that time were excellent and just continue to get better! We find the policy templates easy to customize, which is a tremendous help. Several employees at our bank utilize the online chat feature which is a GREAT tool! C/A’s representatives are experts, and will immediately respond to our request for information. If they are in chat with another client, they will even let you know, so you are not left wondering if they have received your request to chat. I have absolutely nothing negative to say about Compliance Alliance … GREAT resource in all areas of regulatory compliance!”

Success Story

Compliance Alliance is a great fit for Farmers State Bank, a 70M bank in mid-Michigan. As the Chief Marketing Officer, I’m constantly developing new marketing pieces for the bank and Compliance Alliance is always right there with me keeping my promotional concepts up-to-date with the latest regulatory requirements. I can email my ideas directly to Compliance Alliance knowing that I’ll have a response the next day! This gives me the peace of mind I need to focus on our campaigns and other programs while not getting bogged down with regulatory worries. highly recommend a partnership with Compliance Alliance.”

Success Story

The chat feature’s quick turn-around time is what separates C/A from other compliance professionals. Not only is the response quick, in our experience, it is very detailed. And to have the transcript from the chat emailed for future reference—that has been very beneficial on many occasion. My compliance officers love the chat. Personally, I recall a time when in a meeting, our president had a question I could not answer. I logged into a chat session while the meeting was happening, got an answer, and was able to respond in minutes. I couldn’t do that with any other service.”
