CUTTING THE TCPA DOWN TO SIZE: R.E.A.C.H. Files Two Critical FCC Comments to Help Small Business

With TCPA class actions targeting American small businesses reaching an al time high, Responsible Enterprises Against Consumer Harassment (R.E.A.C.H.) has asked the FCC to ease the regulatory burden facing these businesses and help end abusive lawsuits.

In two filings last week R.E.A.C.H. weighed in on a number of critical TCPA regulations impacting companies across the nation.

First, with an onslaught of “timing” class actions attacking retailers who have done nothing more than share information with consumers who have signed up for text alerts R.E.A.C.H. asks the Commission to confirm such companies cannot be sued if a message is sent to a consenting consumer.

Second, R.E.A.C.H. responded to the FCC’s critical Delete, Delete, Delete proceeding requesting the FCC to, indeed, delete numerous provisions of the Code of Federal Regulation and its own previous Declaratory Rulings that served to handcuff small businesses and empowered a swarm of needless ticky tack lawsuits.

Amon the provisions R.E.A.C.H seeks to have deleted are the TCPA’s Caller ID requirements– that seek to impose high-dollar penalties on small businesses that cannot afford to use expensive branded Caller ID services– and the recent TCPA revocation rule– that expands consumer revocation rules far beyond a consumer’s expectations.
