let customers cancel their recurring payments as easily as they signed up

Wow, actually sounds like a worthwhile requirement. The article is short on analysis and information, like who were the 3 judges.

“Wow, actually sounds like a worthwhile requirement.”

I agree. I’m thinking they rushed it through in the last days that the Biden Women controlled the government...without giving enough time for comments. Be really nice to see Trump revive it.

I remember once when I called Visa to cancel a recurring charge - they would not do it.

Seems to me the Judicial Branch has become a terminal cancer killing this Republic.

Getting ‘un-subscribed’ to these businesses is nigh impossible. They have your credit card number and will continue to bill you every month for months even after you tell them to stop. A local lady had to get a court order to make a service stop billing her card and she didn’t get a refund for the months they stole her money.................

Right, you can sign up for anything at the Verizon store, but you can’t cancel anything there, you have to call India.

Thank you for referencing that article where's_the_Outrage?.

"... arguing the FTC aimed to “regulate consumer contracts for all companies in all industries and across all sectors of the economy."


FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument

I'm not up to speed with contract law, so Justice Joseph Story's explanation of the Constitution's 1.10.1, one of two mentions of this subject in Constitution, was a challenge for me.

Basically, not only do I find no express constitutional delegation of power to regulate contracts to the big, bad feds, the 10th Amendment automatically reserving such power uniquely to the states imo, but regulations many by constitutionally undefined, so-called federal regulatory agencies run by non-popularly elected bureaucrats is a constitutionally no-no, the deep state, career Congress wrongly looking the other way while these bureaucrats steal and exercise state powers.

It looks like constitutionally undefined FTC wrongly interfered with private contract.

Cut cable TV not too long ago - too much content no one in the house was watching and the price had gone up to well over $100/month.

Had my son make the phone call - he has a loud booming voice and is good at cutting to the chase. Didn’t take too long, he told a couple of jokes and the agent he talked to cut the service quickly. Glad to get rid of that bill.

As far as steaming services, they’re relatively easy to end on the iPhone. Have recently cut several that no one was watching - and they’ve all increased in price.

Did you read the excerpt you posted?

<>the procedural deficiencies of the Commission’s rulemaking process are fatal here<>

Sheesh.
