CFA Files Amicus Brief in Support of FTC's Click-to-Cancel Rule
CFA filed this amicus brief with several other consumer advocacy groups in support of FTC's Click-to-Cancel rule in response to the lawsuit filed by Custom Communications Inc. The Rule will require sellers to make it as easy for consumers to cancel their enrollment as it was to sign up. Custom Communications Inc. argues that the Rule is invalid due to the belief that it exceeds the FTC's statutory authority, the rulemaking process was flawed, and the Rule is arbitrary and capricious. The brief filed by CFA and its partners makes clear that the final Rule aligns fully with existing federal statutes, complements industry-specific regulations, and sensibly targets pervasive and well-documented consumer harm.
