Man sentenced in credit scheme

A former Chatsworth resident who took money to ``repair'' his customers' credit was sentenced to 51 months in federal prison by a Los Angeles judge, a prosecutor said Tuesday.

Richard Murkey, 58, pleaded guilty in April 2004 to four counts of criminal contempt for violating a court order that had barred him from offering to fix customers' negative credit reports.

He was sentenced Monday by U.S. District Judge S. James Otero, according to Assistant U.S. Attorney Julie Werner-Simon.

Murkey used infomercials, newspaper ads and other means to attract consumers with bad credit, then caused false and misleading statements to be made to the credit reporting agency Trans Union about his clients' credit histories, the prosecutor said.
