BOISE (KTVB) -- The Idaho Attorney General's Office has recovered more than $24 million in penalties and costs enforcing consumer protection laws.

Attorney General Lawrence Wasden in a 26-page report released Monday says that's the most recovered by the Consumer Protection Division since 2012.

The report that covers the fiscal year that ended June 30 says $21.5 million came from a February settlement with Standard & Poor's following litigation accusing the company of engaging in false and misleading practices leading up the financial crisis that began in 2008.

In all, the division received 869 complaints, an increase of 40 from the previous year.

The top consumer complaint category to Idaho officials involved motor vehicles with 100 complaints, down slightly from the previous year.
