The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has referred its previously announced federal court case against online cash advance firm Dave to the Department of Justice (DOJ).
The DOJ has filed an amended complaint that names the company’s CEO, Jason Wilk, as a defendant and seeks civil penalties.
The DOJ’s civil enforcement action alleges that Dave and its CEO violated the FTC Act and ROSCA by deceptively advertising cash advances, charging hidden fees, and more.
The complaint seeks consumer redress, monetary civil penalties, and a permanent injunction against the defendants.
