A Miami federal judge issued an injunction against what Florida's attorney general calls a multimillion-dollar debt relief scam.

The Federal Trade Commission and Attorney General Pam Bondi filed a complaint alleging 11 companies falsely promised to consolidate consumers' debt and improve their credit for fees of hundreds or thousands of dollars a month.
