Experian Consumer Services (ESC), part of consumer credit rating agency Experian, has agreed to pay a $650,000 fine to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for spamming consumers with marketing emails that did not include a way to opt out, as required by law.
The FTC said the California-based credit agency, which is also known as ConsumerInfo.com, sent consumers the unsolicited emails after they signed up for an account to manage their Experian credit report information.
