CFA Calls on House Subcommittee to Improve, Not Weaken, Protection from Unwanted Robocalls

CFA TC

CFA is joining other consumer organizations to call on the House Subcommittee on Communications and Technology to improve protections against unwanted robocalls. Unwanted robocalls are currently the top consumer complaint to the Federal Communications Commission (FCC), and were the source of over 2 million complaints to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) in 2015. More tools need to be brought to bear in the battle against the millions of unwanted, harassing, and illegal robocalls to which consumers continue to be subjected.  In particular, we support the ROBOCOP Act, legislation introduced by Representative Jackie Speier (D-CA) (H.R. 4932) and Senator Charles Schumer (D-NY) (S. 3026). At the same time, we discourage any changes to the TCPA that would subject American consumers to tens of millions more unwanted, and currently illegal, robocalls.
