CONSUMER GROUPS SEEK TWO-MONTH COMMENT PERIOD EXTENSION FOR PROPOSED DEBT COLLECTION RULE

MIFFED FCC COMMISSIONER RELEASES ANSWERS FROM CARRIERS REGARDING ROBOCALL BLOCKING SERVICES
- A month after writing to 14 different carriers seeking information on their plans to roll out automatic call blocking services for calls deemed to be robocalls, Geoffrey Starks, one of the five commissioners of the Federal Communications Commission has taken the unusual step of publishing all of the responses, most likely because he was less-than-pleased with what he heard.
AT&T’S CALL BLOCKING WILL NOT BE AUTOMATIC UNLESS CUSTOMERS PAY MONTHLY FEE
- So it turns out that maybe AT&T isn’t rolling out free call-blocking after all. According to a published report, the only way to get calls automatically blocked is for customers of AT&T to pay an additional $4 per month. In order to get calls blocked for free, customers will have to manually create their own lists of numbers from which the customers do not want to receive calls.

COMPLIANCE DIGEST – JULY 15
- Click here to read this week’s Compliance Digest, sponsored by Applied Innovation. You’ll get insights from six different compliance experts — Boyd Gentry, June Coleman, Mitch Williamson, Ethan Ostroff, and Rick Perr — on important compliance topics, such as using a new ruling that could lead to more class-action lawsuits, activity from the Supreme Court, a new law impacting collections, and more. You’re not going to get that kind of varied perspective anywhere else.
WORTH NOTING: For parents who are trying to get their kids to sleep through the night … Ryan Leaf has a pretty good new gig … What it was like to be the one man aboard Apollo 11 who didn’t get to walk on the moon … Florida’s DMV has been selling information to bill collectors … What you need to know before buying anything on Amazon Prime Day … The best Prime Day deals … What not to buy on Prime Day … A guide to when it’s ok to hug at work … A turquoise blue river in Siberia that is a selfie haven is actually toxic … What a men’s final at Wimbledon yesterday.
