ORDER RE: PLAINTIFF’S MOTION FOR SUMMARY JUDGMENT AS TO COUNTS THREE, FOUR, AND FIVE

Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment as to counts three, four, and five in Plaintiffs complaint, came on regularly for hearing before this Court on August 8, 1994. After reviewing the materials submitted by the parties, argument of counsel, and all other matters presented to the Court, it is hereby ORDERED that Plaintiffs motion is GRANTED.

I. Procedural Background

On May 5, 1993 the Federal Trade Commission (“FTC”) filed this action against American Standard Credit Systems, Inc. (“ASCS”) and three of its officers, Robert M. Farmer, Douglas R. Deitel, and Scott T. Lick, for allegedly committing deceptive acts and practices in violation of § 5(a) of the Federal Trade Commission Act (“FTCA”), 15 U.S.C. § 45 (a). On June 25, 1993 the individual defendants (hereinafter “Defendants”) filed a third-party complaint against the First National Bank of Marin (“FNBM”) for indemnification.

On February 11,1994 this Court entered a default judgment against Defendant ASCS. On February 18,1994 Plaintiff filed a motion for summary judgment against Defendants as to counts three, four, and five in Plaintiffs complaint. By minute Order dated March 28, 1994 this Court denied the motion because Plaintiff failed to properly authenticate documents submitted in support of the motion. On March 4, 1994, FNBM filed a motion for summary judgment as to Defendants’ cross-claim, and this Court granted such motion on April 4, 1994. Therefore, the only action that remains is the FTC’s complaint against the individual defendants.

A pre-trial conference was scheduled for May 2, 1994, but was not held as a result of bankruptcy petitions filed by Defendants Farmer and Deitel. A portion of Plaintiffs supplement to its memorandum of contentions of fact and law argued that Plaintiffs action was exempt from the automatic stay of § 362 of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., and that therefore the action should go forward. The Court deemed such argument as a motion to keep the case on active caseload, and scheduled a telephonic hearing for May 26, 1994 at 12:15 p.m. At the hearing the Court granted Plaintiffs motion and set a new pre-trial conference date for September 12, 1994 and a new trial date for September 27, 1994.

On June 7, 1994 Plaintiff filed an ex parte application for an order enlarging the time within which Plaintiff could resubmit its motion for summary judgment. This Court granted the ex parte application and gave Plaintiff until July 15, 1994 to resubmit such motion. Plaintiff filed its motion on July 14, 1994, and this motion is now before the Court. This Court has jurisdiction over this matter pursuant to 28 U.S.C. §§ 1331 , 1337(a), 1345, and 15 U.S.C. § 53 (b).

II. Undisputed Facts

The allegedly deceptive practices in this case occurred in connection with ASCS’s marketing of VISA and Mastercards for FNBM. In January of 1989 ASCS executed an agreement with FNBM whereby ASCS agreed to provide FNBM credit card marketing, solicitation, application, account processing, and other services related to the establishment of credit card accounts. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 36-37; Ex. 23. ) ASCS commenced marketing FNBM secured credit cards through various third-party marketers in March of 1989. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 39.) As of June of 1989, ASCS had contracted with “SCCP” and Professional Financial Associates (“PFA”) to market FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶40.) In July, ASCS contracted with Thom 2 Productions to develop television commercials featuring country recording artist T.G. Sheppard to market secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶44.)

Beginning in January of 1990, ASCS expanded its marketing program, employing third-party marketers to promote and advertise FNBM secured credit cards through the use of “900” pay-per-call telephone numbers. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 45-50, 61.) In January of 1990, ASCS entered into an agreement with Interactive Marketing Concepts (“IMC”) relating to the “900” pay-per-call marketing of FNBM’s secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶49, Ex. 9.) ASCS also entered into a “900 Response Contractor Agreement” (“RCA”) with the President of IMC, Donald Hellinger, or his corporate nominee. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 50, Ex. 15.) Under this agreement, Hellinger would provide creative scripts, advertising, TV time, and “900” pay-per-call costs associated with marketing the FNBM secured credit card program. Hellinger would receive all revenues from “900” responses, and would forward to ASCS the name and address information of responding consumers along with a $.50 processing fee for each name. ASCS would then send an application form to the responding consumer and would pay Hellinger $20 of the application fee, if any, ultimately received by ASCS. Throughout 1990, ASCS entered into several RCAs with other third-party marketers. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 61; Exs. 3, 38, 55-64.)

The RCAs provided that “CONTRACTOR agrees not to make any oral or written representations of any kind regarding the Secured Credit Card Program, VISA and/or MASTERCARD whether in print advertising, scripts, completed TV commercials, live operator or machine answering messages to callers without prior written consent of ASCS.” (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 62-64; Exs. 3,15, 38, 55-64.) Furthermore, on August 24,1990, Doug Deitel sent a memorandum to all marketing service providers which stated: “A complete copy of all proposed advertising must be submitted in advance and approved in writing before any insertion order is made. This includes all TV commercials, FSI’s, Post Cards, Radio, Direct Mail, Etc.” (Ex. 44.)

In keeping with this, Farmer, Deitel, and Lick reviewed the marketing materials used to promote FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶17, 29-30, 34, 56-58; Exs. 12, 35, 4(M2, 48, 49.) ASCS notified third-party marketers in advance of use that all “900” pay-per-call marketing materials promoting FNBM secured credit cards had been approved. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 69-74; Exs. 11, 35, 41, 42, 48, 49.) The “900” marketing materials used by marketers include exhibits 1, 2, and 17, as well as copies of those exhibits with the marketer’s own “900” number inserted. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 52-58; Exs. 36, 67, 68, 83.) ASCS, through Deitel and Lick, also provided ASCS marketers with sample print advertisements, television commercials, and audio text-scripts to use in marketing FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 65-68; Exs. 7, 34.)

Statements in Exhibits 1 and 2, and in virtually - identical advertisements used by marketers, include:

The statement “anyone [or everyone] can qualify” was prominently featured in many of ASCS’s advertisements (Exs. 1, 2, 12, 17, 36, 68, 82, 83, 109.) Furthermore, other statements in ASCS approved advertising promised that even people with past credit problems would be approved for an FNBM secured credit card. (Exs. 1, 2, 12, 67, 68, 82, 83.) However, not everyone could qualify for an FNBM credit card. From May 1989 through July 1991, FNBM had in existence credit granting criteria. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 101.) For example, FNBM considered whether an applicant had a current, open bankruptcy proceeding, or a charge-off on any secured bank credit card in determining whether to approve an application. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 80-81; Exs. 25, 45, 46.) Farmer, Deitel, and Lick knew of FNBM’s credit granting criteria and knew that FNBM applied that criteria in evaluating applicants. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 83-88, 93, 95-96, 97-100.)

Furthermore, ASCS and its marketers failed to disclose that there were additional costs and conditions consumers had to meet to qualify for an FNBM credit card. For example, consumers had to have a minimum household income, had to pay an application fee (which Plaintiff contends was $60), and had to make a minimum $300 savings deposit with FNBM to secure their line of credit. (Deitel Dep. pp. 156-57; Exs. 45, 46; Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 86, 89-92, 94, 97-99.) Since at least September of 1989 Farmer was aware that applicants had to meet these requirements. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 86, 89-90; Ex. 54.) Since at least September of 1989 Deitel knew that consumers were required to pay an application fee, and since at least May of 1989 Deitel knew of the savings account and minimum income requirements. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 91-92, 94; Exs. 45, 46; Deitel Dep. pp. 156-57.) Lick was aware of these qualifying criteria since early 1990. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 97-99.)

Exhibit 1 was used by third-party marketers between March of 1990 and September of 1990, and Exhibit 2 was used between August of 1990 and July of 1991. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 52-53; Ex. 47.) Between March of 1990 and July of 1991, third-party marketers used the advertising copy of Exhibits 1, 2, and 17 to advertise the FNBM secured credit cards, but inserted their own “900” telephone numbers. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶54.) The cost of calling the “900” pay-per-call numbers listed on Exhibits 1, 2, and 17, as well as other identical advertising using different “900” telephone numbers, was $9.95. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 78.)

On the basis of the foregoing facts, Plaintiff claims that Defendants are liable for deceptive acts and practices under § 5(a) of the FTCA. Plaintiffs complaint alleges five counts, but Plaintiff here seeks judgment only on counts three, four, and five. Count 3 alleges that Defendants failed to disclose in connection with “900” number advertising that consumers can only obtain a VISA or Mastercard by paying a processing fee and making a minimum deposit of $300, and that such an omission is a deceptive practice under the FTCA. Count 4 alleges that Defendants failed to disclose that consumers must meet certain minimum qualifying criteria to even apply for a VISA or Mastercard, and that such an omission is a deceptive practice under the FTCA. Count 5 alleges that Defendants violated the FTCA by acting in concert with marketers who made misrepre sentations and omissions in connection with advertising “900” numbers.

III. Discussion

A. Summary Judgment Standard

It is the burden of the party who moves for summary judgment to establish that there is “no genuine issue of material fact, and that the moving party is entitled to judgment as a matter of law.” Fed.R.CivJP. 56(c); British Airways Board v. Boeing Co., 585 F.2d 946, 951 (9th Cir.1978), cert. denied, 440 U.S. 981 , 99 S.Ct. 1790 , 60 L.Ed.2d 241 (1979). If the moving party has the burden of proof at trial (the plaintiff on a claim for relief, or the defendant on an affirmative defense), the moving party must make a showing sufficient for the court to hold that no reasonable trier of fact could find other than for the moving party. Calderone v. United States, 799 F.2d 254, 259 (6th Cir.1986) (quoting W. Schwarzer, Summary Judgment Under the Federal Rules: Defining Genuine Issues of Material Fact, 99 F.R.D. 465 , 487-88 (1984)). Furthermore, if the moving party has the burden of proof at trial, that party must establish peradventure all of the essential elements of the claim or defense to warrant judgment in that party’s favor. Fontenot v. Upjohn Co., 780 F.2d 1190, 1194 (5th Cir.1986).

Once the moving party satisfies this initial burden, “an adverse party may not rest upon the mere allegations or denials of the adverse party’s pleadings ... [T]he adverse party’s response ... must set forth specific facts showing that there is a genuine issue for trial.” Fed.R.Civ.P. 56(e) (emphasis added). A “genuine issue” of material fact exists only when the nonmoving party makes a sufficient showing to establish an essential element to that party’s case, and on which that party would bear the burden of proof at trial. Celotex Corp. v. Catrett, 477 U.S. 317, 322-23 , 106 S.Ct. 2548, 2552-53 , 91 L.Ed.2d 265 (1986). “The mere existence of a scintilla of evidence in support of the [non-movant’s] position will be insufficient; there must be evidence on which a reasonable jury could reasonably find for [the nonmovant].” Anderson v. Liberty Lobby, 477 U.S. 242, 252 , 106 S.Ct. 2505, 2512 , 91 L.Ed.2d 202 (1986). The evidence of the nonmovant is to be believed, and all justifiable inferences are to be drawn in his favor. Id. at 248 , 106 S.Ct. at 2510.

B. Defendants’ General Defenses to Plaintiffs Motion

1. Jurisdiction

Defendants argue that this Court does not have jurisdiction over this matter. Defendants contend that because ASCS was the agent of FNBM, and FNBM is exempt from the FTCA, ASCS should likewise be found to be exempt from the FTCA. (Opp. at 3-4.) Section 45(a)(2) of the FTCA provides that “[t]he Commission is empowered and directed to prevent persons, partnerships, or corporations, except banks ... from using unfair methods of competition in commerce and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce” (emphasis added). Given that banks are exempted from regulation, Defendants argue that “[i]t is apparent that an agent of a national bank, acting within the course and scope of the agency, must be excluded from the FTC’s jurisdiction as well.” (Opp. at 4.)

However, Defendants have failed to cite any easelaw in support of such a proposition. Furthermore, the exclusion of banks from FTC jurisdiction appears to have been motivated by the fact that banks are already subject to extensive federal administrative controls. See U.S. v. Philadelphia Nat’l Bank, 374 U.S. 321 , 336 n. 11, 83 S.Ct. 1715 , 1726 n. 11, 10 L.Ed.2d 915 (1963). Defendants have failed to show that ASCS, as the purported agent of a bank, is likewise subject to extensive administrative controls and should therefore be excluded from the FTCA. Furthermore, this Court found in the Order it issued in connection with FNBM’s motion for summary judgment that ASCS is not the agent of FNBM. See April 4, 1994 Order Re FNBM’s Motion for Summary Judgment at 6-7. Therefore, this Court finds that it has jurisdiction over this matter.

2. Enjoining Terminated Behavior

Defendants also argue that the FTC is only empowered to enjoin present unlawful practices and prevent their recurrence in the future. (Opp. at 5.) Because the use of pay-per-eall advertising has been prohibited by both VISA and Mastercard since May of 1992, Defendants argue that the FTC has no power to enjoin Defendants from engaging in deceptive advertising in connection with the pay-per-call program. However, prohibitions by VISA and Mastercard do not have the force and effect of a court injunction, which carries with it the penalty of contempt. Furthermore, just because Defendants have been prohibited from employing a pay-per-call program in connection with VISA and Mas-tercard credit cards does not guarantee that they will not engage in such activity in connection with other credit cards.

Furthermore, “[i]t is settled that an action for an injunction does not become moot merely because the conduct complained of was terminated, if there is a possibility of recurrence, since otherwise the defendants Vould be free to return to’ (their) old ways.” Allee v. Medrano, 416 U.S. 802, 811 , 94 S.Ct. 2191, 2198 , 40 L.Ed.2d 566 (1974). See also Fedders v. Federal Trade Commission, 529 F.2d 1398, 1403 (2d Cir.1976), cert. denied, 429 U.S. 818 , 97 S.Ct. 63 , 50 L.Ed.2d 79 (1976) (“The fact that [defendant] may have discontinued the offending practice before the commission issued the complaint ... does not bar a cease-and-desist order, where the public interest otherwise requires it.”) As Defendants have failed to show that there is no possibility that the alleged offending conduct will recur, the fact that Defendants have terminated their behavior is irrelevant.

C. Plaintiffs Motion for Summary Judgment as to Counts Three and Four

Section 5(a) of the FTCA prohibits the use of “[u]nfair methods of competition in commerce, and unfair or deceptive acts or practices in commerce.” 15 U.S.C.A. § 45 (a) (West 1973). Section 13(b) of the Act provides that the FTC in a “proper case” may seek a permanent injunction to enjoin violations of the Act. 15 U.S.C.A. § 53 (b) (West 1973). The Ninth Circuit has held that a routine fraud case is a “proper case” under § 13(b). F.T.C. v. H.N. Singer, Inc., 668 F.2d 1107, 1111 (9th Cir.1982). Furthermore, consumer redress, including rescission of contracts, may be ordered in a routine fraud ease under § 13(b). Id. at 1113. Plaintiff here requests that this Court enjoin Defendants from further engaging in their alleged deceptive practices, and that Defendants be required to pay restitution.

1. Injunctive Relief

An officer of a corporation may be held individually liable for injunctive relief under the FTCA for corporate practices if the FTC can prove (1) that the corporation committed misrepresentations or omissions of a kind usually relied on by a reasonably prudent person, resulting in consumer injury, and (2) that the individual defendants participated directly in the acts or practices or had authority to control them. F.T.C. v. Amy Travel Service, Inc., 875 F.2d 564, 573 (7th Cir.1989), cert. denied, 493 U.S. 954 , 110 S.Ct. 366 , 107 L.Ed.2d 352 (1989); F.T.C. v. Kitco of Nevada, Inc., 612 F.Supp. 1282, 1292 (D.Minn.1985).

a. Misrepresentation or Omission by ASCS

The test for deception is whether “there is a representation, omission or practice that is likely to mislead the consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances.” Southwest Sunsites, Inc. v. F.T.C., 785 F.2d 1431 (9th Cir.1986), cert. denied, 479 U.S. 828 , 107 S.Ct. 109 , 93 L.Ed.2d 58 (1986); Clifdale Assocs., Inc., 103 F.T.C. 110 , 165 (1984).

Count 3 of Plaintiffs complaint is based on Defendants’ alleged failure to disclose that consumers can only obtain a VISA or Mas-tercard by paying a processing fee and making a minimum deposit of $300. The undisputed facts show that consumers had to pay an application fee and had to make a minimum $300 deposit with FNBM to secure their line of credit. (Deitel Dep. pp. 156-57; Exs. 45, 46; Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 89-92, 97-98.) The facts also show that the advertising approved by ASCS failed to disclose this requirement. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 52-58; Exs. 36, 67, 68, 83.) Therefore, it was not until after consumers paid $9.95 to call a “900” number that they learned of the appli cation fee and the minimum deposit requirement.

These omissions were likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances as it is likely that many consumers would not have made the call had they known of these requirements. Therefore, the omissions were deceptive under § 5 of the FTCA. See Southwest Sunsites, supra; Clifdale Assocs., Inc., supra.

Count 4 of Plaintiffs complaint is based on Defendants’ alleged failure to disclose that consumers must meet certain minimum qualifying criteria to even apply for a VISA or Mastercard. The undisputed facts show that advertisements approved by ASCS included the statement “anyone [or everyone] can qualify” for an FNBM secured credit card. (Exs.. 1, 2, 12, 17, 36, 68, 82, 83, 109.) Furthermore, ASCS approved advertising promised that even people with past credit problems would be approved for an FNBM credit card. (Exs. 1, 2, 12, 67, 68, 82, 83.)

However, not everyone could qualify for an FNBM credit card. From May 1989 through July 1991, FNBM had in existence credit granting criteria. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 101.) For example, FNBM considered whether an applicant had a current, open bankruptcy proceeding, or a charge-off on any secured bank credit card in determining whether to approve an application. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 80-81; Exs. 25, 45, 46.) Furthermore, consumers had to have a minimum household income. (Deitel Dep. pp. 156-57; Exs. 45, 46; Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 86, 94, 99.)

The representations made in ASCS approved advertising that anyone could qualify, even those with past credit problems, were likely to mislead the consumer acting reasonably under the circumstances. Therefore, these representations were deceptive under § 5 of the FTCA. See Southwest Sunsites, supra; Clifdale Assocs., Inc., supra.

Defendants nonetheless argue that a genuine issue of fact exists as to whether the advertising complained of was Defendants’ advertising. (Opp. at 6.) Defendants introduce declaration testimony by Farmer that “[a]ll advertising used in connection with the 900 number marketing program, specifically including the print ad [at Exhibit 1], were created by an ad agency hired and paid by IMC,” and that “ASCS did not approve the advertising materials used by IMC because neither ASCS nor the individual Defendants in this action had the authority to approve this or any other advertising for the FNBM secured bank credit card program.” (Feb. 28, 1994 Farmer Deck ¶¶ 11, 12.)

However, these conclusory statements are contrary to the undisputed facts. The RCA entered into between ASCS and Hellinger (IMC’s President), provided that “CONTRACTOR agrees not to make any oral or written representations of any kind regarding the Secured Credit Card Program, VISA and/or MASTERCARD whether in print advertising, scripts, completed TV commercials, live operator or machine answering messages to callers without prior written consent of ASCS.” (Ex. 15 ¶ 3, emphasis added.) Furthermore, the evidence shows that Deitel approved Exhibit 1 by making changes to a prototype of that Exhibit and submitting the altered prototype back to IMC. (Deitel Dep. pp. 147-48; Exs. 48.) Finally, the undisputed evidence shows that ASCS notified third-party marketers in advance of use that all “900” pay-per-call marketing materials and advertising used to promote FNBM secured credit cards had been approved. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 69-74.)

Furthermore, it is no defense for Defendants to argue that the advertising was sanctioned by IMC. In Amy Travel, supra, the individual defendants argued that “their efforts to gain approval from counsel for their activities demonstrate they did not have the necessary knowledge that they were engaging in deceptive practices.” Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 575 . The Court held:

Id. (emphasis added). Similarly, the blessing of IMC, FNBM, or anyone else for that matter, of advertising created by IMC could not sanction something that Defendants should have known was wrong.

b. Participation or Control

To be entitled to injunctive relief, Plaintiff must next show that the individual defendants participated directly in ASCS’s deceptive acts or practices, or had authority to control them. See supra. Authority to control the company can be evidenced by active involvement in business affairs and the making of corporate policy, including assuming the duties of a corporate officer. Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 573-74 ; Kitco, 612 F.Supp. at 1292 .

The undisputed evidence shows that Defendants actively participated in and controlled the acts and practices described above. Farmer, as Chief Executive Officer of ASCS, controlled the acts and practices of the company and administered its day-to-day operations. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 10-11.) Deitel, as President, participated in the day-to-day operations of the company. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 22.) Both Farmer and Deitel formulated, reviewed, approved, implemented, and disseminated the company’s marketing policies and procedures. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 12-16, 23-27.) Lick, as marketing director of ASCS, implemented the company’s marketing policies and procedures, and monitored the marketing activities of ASCS’s third-party marketers between at least January of 1990 and November of 1990. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 32, 35.) Furthermore, Lick entered into “900” RCAs with third-party marketers to market FNBM’s secured credit card. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶ 33.)

Based on all of the foregoing undisputed evidence, the Court finds that Defendants had authority to control ASCS’s deceptive acts and practices. Therefore, Plaintiff is entitled to injunctive relief against Defendants under counts three and four of Plaintiffs complaint.

2. Restitution

To be held hable for restitution, the FTC must show, in addition to what has already been shown, that Defendants had knowledge that the corporation or one of its agents engaged in dishonest or fraudulent conduct, that the misrepresentations were the type upon which a reasonable and prudent person would rely, and that consumer injury resulted. Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 573-74 ; Kitco, 612 F.Supp. at 1292 ; F.T.C. v. International Diamond Corp., 1983-2 Trade Cases (CCH) ¶ 65,725, 1983 WL 1911 (N.D.Cal.1983).

The knowledge requirement may be fulfilled by showing that the individuals had actual knowledge of material misrepresentations, were recklessly indifferent to the truth or falsity of a misrepresentation, or had an awareness of a high probability of fraud along with an intentional avoidance of the truth. Amy Travel 875 F.2d at 574 ; Kitco, 612 F.Supp. at 1292 . The degree of participation in business affairs is probative of knowledge. Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 574 . According to the undisputed facts, the knowledge requirement is satisfied in this case.

Farmer, Deitel, and Lick knew of FNBM’s credit granting criteria, and knew that FNBM applied that criteria in evaluating applicants. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 83-88, 93, 95-96, 97-100.) These criteria included whether an applicant had a current,. open bankruptcy proceeding, or a charge-off on any secured bank credit card. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 80-81; Exs. 25, 45, 46.) Farmer, Deitel and Lick were also aware that applicants had to meet minimum income and savings deposit requirements, and had to pay an application fee. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 86, 89-92, 94, 97-99; Ex. 45, 46, 54; Deitel Dep. pp. 156-57.) Farmer, Deitel, and Lick reviewed the marketing materials used to promote FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 17, 29-30, 34, 56-58; Exs. 12, 35, 40-42, 48, 49.) Furthermore, Farmer, Dei-tel, and Lick participated in the day-to-day operations of ASCS and controlled its marketing and advertising program, see supra; a fact which is probative of knowledge. See Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 574 .

As to the reliance element, Plaintiff need not prove the subject intent of each consumer, but only that the misrepresentations were the type upon which a reasonable and prudent person would rely. F.T.C. v. Security Bare Coin & Bullion Corp., 931 F.2d 1312 (8th Cir.1991); Amy Travel, 875 F.2d at 573-74 . Defendants’ advertising stated that anyone can qualify for an FNBM secured credit card and that bad credit was “no problem.” See supra. In fact, FNBM considered whether an applicant had a current, open bankruptcy proceeding, or a charge-off on any secured bank credit card in determining whether to approve an application. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 80-81; Exs. 25, 45, 46.) Furthermore, consumers had to pay an application fee and had to make a minimum $300 deposit with FNBM. These facts were not disclosed in ASCS approved advertising.

The Court finds that the misrepresentations and omissions found in Defendants’ advertising were of the type that a reasonable person would rely. In other words, had people been aware of the credit criteria and/or the application fee and minimum savings deposit requirements, many would not have made the phone call to inquire about the FNBM credit card. Therefore, not only is the reliance element met, but so is the consumer injury requirement.

As to the amount of consumer injury, Plaintiff argues that this is the cost of each consumer’s call to the “900” numbers listed on the deceptive advertising materials. (Motion at 18.) The parties stipulated in the pre-trial conference order that this is the only issue that remains to be litigated. (PTCO § VII, ¶ 1.) Therefore, Plaintiff does not seek summary judgment on the exact amount of consumer redress at this time. (Motion at 18.)

Accordingly, the Court hereby ORDERS that judgment be entered against Defendants only as to their liability for restitution of funds spent by consumers in calling “900” numbers. The amount of such restitution is an issue to be determined at trial. Plaintiff has proposed that instead of conducting a trial on the issue of the amount of restitution, the Court simply have the parties brief the issue. (Motion at 18-19.) However, Plaintiff has submitted no authority for the proposition that simply briefing an issue is an adequate substitute for trial. Plaintiff has not moved for summary judgment as to the amount of restitution, and therefore a genuine issue of fact remains for trial. The parties shall therefore proceed to trial, and shall file their pre-trial documents in accordance with local and federal rules.

C. Plaintiff’s Motion for Summary Judgment as to Count Five

Plaintiff alleges in count 5 that:

(Complaint ¶ 40.) The Supreme Court has stated that it has long been a part of the law of unfair competition that a person is a wrongdoer under the FTCA “who so furnishes another with the means of consummating a fraud.” Federal Trade Commission v. Winsted Hosiery Co., 258 U.S. 483, 494 , 42 S.Ct. 384 , —, 66 L.Ed. 729 (1922). Furthermore, in Federal Trade Commission v. Magui Publishers, Inc., 1991-1 Trade Cases p. 69,425, 1991 WL 90895 (C.D.Cal.1991), aff'd, 9 F.3d 1551 (9th Cir.1993), the district court, whose opinion was upheld by the Ninth Circuit, held that “one who places in the hands of another a means or instrumentality to be used by another to deceive the public in violation of the FTC Act is directly liable for violating the act.”

As discussed above, Farmer, Deitel, and Lick reviewed the marketing materials used to promote FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 17, 29-30, 34, 56-58; Exs. 12, 35, 40-42, 48, 49.) ASCS notified third-party marketers in advance of use that all “900” pay-per-call marketing materials promoting FNBM secured credit cards had been approved. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 69-74; Exs. 11, 35, 41, 42, 48, 49.) The “900” marketing materials used by marketers include exhibits 1, 2, and 17, as well as copies of those exhibits with the marketer’s own “900” number inserted. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 52-58; Exs. 36, 67, 68, 83.) ASCS, through Deitel and Lick, also provided ASCS marketers with sample print advertisements, television commercials, and audio text-scripts to use in marketing FNBM secured credit cards. (Plaintiffs Facts ¶¶ 65-68; Exs. 7, 34.)

Moreover, these advertising materials contained omissions and misrepresentations that were likely to mislead consumers acting reasonably under the circumstances, and therefore the materials were deceptive under § 5 of the FTCA. See supra. Therefore, the Court finds that Plaintiff is entitled to injunc-tive relief and restitution under count five of Plaintiffs complaint.

D. Conclusion

Based on all of the foregoing, the Court hereby ORDERS that Plaintiffs motion for summary judgment as to counts three, four, and five is GRANTED, and that Plaintiff be granted permanent injunctive relief and restitution (in an amount to be determined at trial).

SO ORDERED.

SO ORDERED.

. Farmer was a shareholder, director, and the Chief Executive Officer of ASCS between November, 1988 and July, 1991. (Plaintiff's Statement of Uncontroverted Facts ("Plaintiff’s Facts”) ¶¶ 6-9.) Deitel was president of ASCS between November, 1988 and July, 1991. (Plaintiff's Facts ¶ 21.) Lick was the marketing director of ASCS. (Plaintiff's Facts ¶¶ 32-35.) . Section 362(b)(5) of the Bankruptcy Code, 11 U.S.C. §§ 101 et seq., provides that the automatic stay does not operate as a stay "of the enforcement of a judgment, other than a money judgment, obtained in an action or proceeding by a governmental unit to enforce such governmental unit's police or regulatory power.” 11 U.S.C. § 362 (b)(5) (West 1993) (emphasis added). . In the proposed pre-trial conference order jointly submitted by both parties at the May 2, 1994 pre-trial conference (which was not held), the parties admitted various facts which require no proof. See Pre-Trial Conference Order Lodged April 2, 1994 ("PTCO") § V (found at Plaintiff's Ex. “B”). These facts are identical to the facts Plaintiff has set forth in its statement of uncontroverted facts and conclusions of law. Furthermore, Defendants' statement of genuine issues fails to refer to admissible evidence which controverts the facts included in Plaintiff's statement of uncontroverted facts. Therefore, the Court finds that all facts included within Plaintiff’s statement of uncontroverted facts exist without controversy. See Local Rule 7.14 (“In determining any motion for summaiy judgment, the court will assume that the material facts as claimed and adequately supported by the moving party are admitted to exist without controversy except to the extent that such material facts are (a) included in the "Statement of Genuine Issues” and (b) controverted by declaration or other written evidence filed in opposition to the motion.”). .The exhibits Plaintiff has submitted in support of its motion were included in the joint list of exhibits that the parties submitted prior to the May 2, 1994 pre-trial conference. Plaintiff and Defendants stipulated to the admissibility of all of the listed exhibits without objection. See PTCO § X. . Exhibits 17 is a video tape of five commercials used by third-party marketers, the audio text of which is found at Exhibit 18. The spokesman in the commercials states that “almost anyone can qualify” for an FNBM secured credit card "regardless of your past credit history,” and the words "Anyone Can Qualify” and "Regardless of Your Past Credit History” are displayed prominently at the top of the screen. About midway through the commercials, an illegible disclosure is displayed at the bottom of the screen. After considerable effort by the Court, the Court was able to determine that the disclosure stated, at least in part: "savings account required; credit line equal to amount of deposit; minimum deposit $300; minimum household income of $3,000.” This disclosure is displayed for a little over one second. The commercials also state that consumers who are turned down will be refunded the cost of the call. . Exhibit 36 is also a video tape containing a set of commercials. The spokesman states: "If you're among the 50 million [or millions] Americans denied credit, even if you're divorced or bankrupt, First National Bank of Marin has a money back no risk secured VISA or Mastercard offer for you.” Prominently displayed at the top of the screen are the words "Even Divorced or Bankrupt.” At the end of the commercials a very small but legible disclosure is briefly made that a savings account is required and that applicants must be over 18. The commercials state that applicants who are turned down will be refunded the cost of the call. .In a letter written by Deitel to FNBM proposing the credit criteria ASCS would use in evaluating applicants, one of the criterium is: Credit report must not show unresolved bankruptcy, serious current credit defaults, a history of charge-offs or judgements involving other credit card accounts, a criminal record, or any other information of a negative or suspicious nature that would indicate a high potential for losses. (Ex. 45.) Furthermore, in a September 7, 1989 letter written by FNBM to Farmer, FNBM stated that in order to qualify for a credit card, an applicant, inter alia, must provide: A credit report from an established credit reporting agency that shows no current serious credit defaults, no criminal record, or no other information that would indicate to a reasonable person that the applicant has a high potential for abusing a secured credit card. (Ex. 54.) . Plaintiff has introduced no evidence as to the amount of the application fee. However, Plaintiff's brief argues that it was $60, and Defendants do not contest this argument. . Defendants concede that the minimum deposit amount was $300. (Opp. at 7.) . Defendants argue that "neither ASCS nor the individual defendants provided IMC anything more than exemplars of advertising materials previously approved by FNBM,” and that "[t]his alone poses a material question of fact and must be tried.” (Opp. at 7-8.) However, as discussed above, the blessing of FNBM, or anyone else for that matter, of IMC's advertising could not sanction something that Defendants should have known was wrong.
