“SUPERPOWER”: Check Out the Czar’s INCREDIBLE Address to the FTC Defending the Good Actors in the Lead Gen Industry From Governmental Overreach

3 Comments

Well if we learned anything today it is that the Czar does not know how time zones work.

I posted yesterday that my remarks to the FTC would take place at 11:00 am pacific. And, yeah, I was wrong. It was at 11:00 am EASTERN!

My bad.

But I still made it on time (thank goodness) even if some of you didn’t. My apologies.

The good news though is that you can watch my remarks to the Commission– RIGHT HERE RIGHT NOW!!!

The Czar addresses the FTC. And for more COMPELLING content follow the INCREDIBLE Troutman Amin, LLP YouTube channel now!

As you can tell I am passionate in defense of the GOOD ACTORS in both the lead generation and direct to consumer marketing industries–even as I work hard to set MUCH NEEDED  standards for the industry and get rid of bad actors.

America NEEDS the lead generation industry. But it needs the industry to straighten up and fly right. Do the things it is capable of doing to continue to be a SUPERPOWER for the American economy.

But it has to STOP driving so many unwanted calls. Cannot continue.

That’s why R.E.A.C.H. is here. If you aren’t a member yet you have to start asking yourself if you’re part of the problem. Just being real.

I also spoke with FCC Commissioner Carr’s office today. More on that tomorrow.

All of this free of charge by the way. I do not collect one penny for these efforts from anybody.

I am doing it because stopping robocalls, on the one hand, and stopping governmental overreach, on the other, are my civic responsibility. And the Czar is powerful enough to effect change on both ends.

And so I will.

Much love folks.

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.

  3. Gee, Eric, did you really say anything? You talk about protecting women-owned and minority-owned businesses, but most of the lead generators are off shore, and certainly do nothing to contribute to the US economy, but do contribute to the billions of unwanted telemarketing calls. But, kudos, for getting your face in front of the camera for a couple of minutes.
