1 Comment

So we haven’t release a podcast episode since our amazing holiday party and the MASSIVE TCPAWorld developments have been piling up in the meantime.

Thankfully your favorite legal personalities–the Deserve to Win crew–got together last week to break down all the big news.

We’ll be dropping the full podcast tomorrow, but here is a taste of the big 10th episode of the show.

First, we tackle the BIGGEST STORY in TCPAWorld.com history–the FCC nearly destroying Phone Burner–a popular calling platform–with an order directing carriers to shut down certain traffic it was sending. This clip will really help you understand the importance of these events:

Second, the CFPB–still dead— issued a MASSIVE ruling that might end lead generation in the mortgage vertical as we know it. The use of pingposts–extremely common auction software in the lead gen space–was deemed to be illegal kickbacks under RESPA! Plus the CFPB’s anti-steering rules applicable to online comparison sites are a HUGE deal–both in and out of the mortgage vertical. Check out the video segment lead by the Duchess here:

Last (for now) the California Invasion of Privacy (CIPA) is a critically important statute that is generating HUGE dollar litigation right now. Under CIPA a website operator that embeds a third-party chatbox might be WIRETAPPING–a massive no no that carries between a $2,500 and $5k penalty PER CHAT! You can’t miss the Dame and the Czar breaking down a new case holding that these cases might have real legs!:

Check back tomorrow when the full episode–including an incredible interview with small-business owner who is being personally sued by Nathan Barton–drops here on TCPAWorld!

Unrelated, absolutely HUGE VOLUMES of traffic on TCPAWorld.com and troutmanfirm.com this month–thanks for being so engaged folks! Really appreciate it! means a lot. đŸ™‚

Published by Eric J. Troutman

The Czar of TCPAWorld Eric Troutman is one of the country’s prominent class action defense lawyers and is nationally recognized in Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA) litigation and compliance. He has served as lead defense counsel in more than 70 national TCPA class actions and has litigated nearly a thousand individual TCPA cases in his role as national strategic litigation counsel for major banks and finance companies. He also helps industry participants build TCPA-compliant processes, policies, and systems. Eric has built a national litigation practice based upon deep experience, rigorous analysis and extraordinary responsiveness. Eric and his team feel equally at home litigating multibillion dollar telecommunications class actions in federal court as they do developing and executing national litigation strategies for institutions facing an onslaught of individual TCPA matters. They thrive in each of these roles – delivering consistently excellent results – while never losing sight of the client experience. While many firms now tout TCPA expertise, Eric has been there from the beginning. He built one of the country’s first TCPA-only defense teams and began serving as national TCPA counsel for his clients nearly a decade ago. This perspective allows him to swiftly develop the right litigation strategies for dealing with recurring problems, without wasting time on tactics that are bound to fail. Eric’s rich historical perspective and encyclopedic knowledge of the TCPA landscape also make him an invaluable resource to institutional compliance teams struggling to comply with the shifting regulatory landscape. No task is too small – or too big. Indeed, Eric and his team have helped build TCPA-compliant systems and processes for some of the largest and most complex corporate entities in the country. He commonly works with in-house compliance counsel to build and implement enterprise and business-line specific TCPA solutions, performs TCPA audits and drafts and reviews proposed TCPA policies and procedures. He and his team also have the technical expertise necessary to assist call centers seeking to develop TCPA-resistant call path architecture or to modify existing telephony and software integration to better insulate from potential TCPA exposure. Eric has built a reputation for thought leadership. An avid blogger and speaker, he has been at the forefront of the industry’s effort to push for clarity and a return to sanity for the TCPA for years. He was selected to advocate for the financial services industry on important TCPA issues before the Federal Communications Commission and co-authored the nation’s only comprehensive practice guide on TCPA defense. In his spare time, Eric leads defense teams representing banks and other financial services companies in consumer finance litigation matters. He has experience representing clients in UCC, TILA, RESPA FCRA, CCRA, CLRA, FDCPA, RFDCPA and FCCPA claims, as well as in fraud and bank operations issues.

  1. Glad to hear The Troutmeister bringin’ it on with a new Deserve to Win!! Even better to see (and hear – pun intended) you added a mic for each participant to alleviate the sound issues I pointed out a while back.
    It’s a glorious world!
