It’s good to see that the FCC wants to further regulate the collection industry using the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA). Often debt collectors cross the line when attempting to collect a debt. It’s time to muzzle the collection industry even further. The FCC has proposed that the TCPA be brought into alignment with the FTC’s telemarketing rules. But the new proposal does not include an exemption for collectors and banks, effectively erasing decades of precedent. Last month, the FCC released a Notice of Proposed Rulemaking to amend the Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA).
