TCPAWORLD AFTERDARK: the czar finally apologizes…

The czar stalking the stage at LGW…

So I like to say I am right about everything all the time, mostly because I am.

But I was wrong recently, and if I don’t own it then I am not better than all those other clowns that make false stupid predictions and then end up being wrong.

I am SORRY to all Michigan fans.

Your team is much better than I gave it credit for.

True, Washington had a TERRIBLE game plan and lived on underneath passes instead of their traditional post routes. So Michigan didn’t beat the real Washington, just some terrible toned-down fear-driven version of it.

But, Michigan came ready to play–and they won.

So I was wrong.

And I am sorry. And congrats Wolverines.

(now, think all those clowns who said the FCC wasn’t going to adopt one-to-one consent will apologize too now? ;))

Was a pleasure speaking to everyone today.

Speaking of people who get it wrong, trying to figure out if I am about to go to war with IMC or not. Someone let me know. Thanks!

Published by Eric "Czar" 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. IMC is the Insurance Marketers Coalition. They filed a challenge against the FCC already, how dare they take the spotlight away from Eric who thinks he’s saving the whole industry but he is not the only attorney on the planet with a dog in this fight…especially when he craps on half the industry. Its almost like common ground would get more done rather than dismissing people as “jokers.”

      1. Amusing that some will ask collaboration only after acting unilaterally. Jokers indeed… as well as their apologists. And it will not go unforgotten.

  3. Michigan class of 06 checking in.

    Apology not needed but loving the flow of that championship feeling 🙂

    GoBlue!!
