Attorney General Kathy Jennings released the following statement Thursday after the Consumer Protection Financial Bureau and 11 states — including Delaware — announced a lawsuit against tech sales “bootcamp” Prehired, which Jennings previously announced the DOJ was investigating:

“I applaud the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and our sister states for taking action to hold Prehired accountable for its deceptive and harmful practices against consumers. Our office took action against Prehired in 2022 to ensure that consumers, especially students, had the opportunity to defend themselves against overreaching creditors. Today’s lawsuit by CFPB and state attorneys general — including our office — is another major step forward for the students and consumers whom Prehired preyed upon. We’re proud to be part of this coalition.”
