Former auto dealer must help victims restore credit [PHILADELPHIA, PA]

PHILADELPHIA -- A former Limerick auto dealer who allegedly stole the identities of an estimated 150 customers to obtain more than $4 million has been ordered by a federal judge to work with credit companies to restore the victims’ credit ratings.

Within 30 days, Benjamin J. Marchese III must issue corrective statements to all lenders and all credit reporting agencies, directing those agencies to remove all improper loan obligations from the victims’ credit reports or histories, U.S. District Court Judge Norma L. Shapiro ruled.
