Who’s Calling?
• Federal Regulations– Telemarketing practices– Use of technology
• Privacy concerns• New or “revised”
– Rules– Definitions– Applications
![Page 5: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
Federal Regulations
• Telephone Consumer Protection Act
• Telemarketing And Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act
• New regulations
![Page 6: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Federal Regulations
• Telemarketing abuses
• Privacy concerns
• More prevalent use of technology
• Increased “invasion “ of privacy
• Current rules ineffective
![Page 7: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Federal Trade Commission
• Disclosure/misrepresentation/abuses
• “Practices that impact privacy”– Predictive dialers– ADAD (recorded messages)– ANI
![Page 8: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/8.jpg)
“The Answer”
• National “Do Not Call”
• Call abandonment
• Call ring rules
• Transmission of Caller ID
![Page 9: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Federal Communications Commission
• Broader jurisdiction than FTC• Co-oversight of National DNC registry• Primarily addresses use of technology
– Dialers– ADAD
• ADAD privacy concern– “Telephone solicitation”– “Unsolicited advertisement”
![Page 10: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/10.jpg)
Enforcement
• Federal
• Individual
• States
• Actions so far…
![Page 11: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/11.jpg)
“Telemarketing” or “Solicitation/Advertisement”?
• Not debt collection– Not made to induce purchase– Includes no advertisement or solicitation
• Consolidation • Should be excluded?
– Part of debt collection– Assist borrower/identify options – Qualification for federal programs
![Page 12: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)
However, “telemarketing” or “solicitation” includes….
• “Set up” calls
• Debt consolidation
• Up-selling
• Dual purpose ADAD calls
• “Unsolicited advertisements”
![Page 13: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
…and consider Policy
• Guaranty of the new loan • Broad reading to promote privacy• Exceptions reflect privacy/business
balance• Limits are on “commercial speech”
– Not prohibited, just limited– Less protection– “Reasonable fit” between goals and means
![Page 14: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Default Collections; Is Perception “Reality”?
• “Normally” clearly not “telemarketing” or “solicitation”
• Last efforts before subrogation– Consolidation– Dialer campaigns– Unique queues/work groups– Use of messaging
![Page 15: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Default Collections; Is Perception “Reality”?
• Application/impact of the rules
• Borrower (and FTC/FCC?) perception
• Awareness
• Revised approach/training/monitor
• Statutory/regulatory response?
![Page 16: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
National ‘Do Not Call”
• Register promptly (w/in 30 days)
• Good for 5 years
• Compliance “safe harbor”
![Page 17: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
National DNC “Exceptions”
• Express consent– Provide for it in loan documents– FTC: “inbound calls in response to direct
mail”• Email (FDCPA issue)
• Truthful in all “material” terms
• Same as the talk off
• Established relationship
![Page 18: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
“Established Relationship”
• Originated with FCC
• FTC: limits needed (FCC concurs)– Financial transaction w/in 18 months– Inquiry/application w/in 3 months
• Assumption: relationship lapses/terminates
• Theory: Consumer “expects to be called”
![Page 19: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Established (FFELP) Relationship
• When do you have– Financial transaction between the parties– Voluntary two –way communication
• Consider:– Guarantee– Claim payment– Borrower payment (or offset?)
![Page 20: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Call Abandonment
• Not “new” given FTC “prompt disclosure” rules
• “Inevitable side effect” of predictive dialers• Privacy protection
– Dead air
– Hang-ups
– Ability to make DNC request
– Ability to enforce
![Page 21: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Call Abandonment
• 3% maximum abandonment
• “Abandoned” = no live operator w/in 2 seconds
• Recorded message w/in 2 seconds
• Record keeping
• Impacts dialer rates, staffing, costs
![Page 22: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Caller ID
• Limit privacy intrusions
• Enable enforcement
• Creates FDCPA issues
• Creates practical contact issues
![Page 23: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
FCC “Telemarketing” Rules
• Several in common with FTC
• Unique: Use of messaging to “residential lines”– “Telephone solicitation”– “Unsolicited advertisement”– 5 second line release
• Established business relationship
![Page 24: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Additional FCC Rules
• Dialer or messaging calls to …– Emergency numbers
– Cell phones
– Q: what is a “cell phone”?
• New “definition” of autodialers– Dialing is principal feature
– Less use of random numbers
– Intent: address automated calls to certain numbers
![Page 25: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
So, Who’s Calling?
• Privacy concerns a driving force
• Activities potentially viewed (may be?) “telemarketing” or “soliciting”
• EBR” exception is narrow
![Page 26: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
So, Who’s Calling?
• Enforcement priority/consumer perception
• Other “old” rules may now apply
• States are involved, with own rules
• Awareness
• Compliance/Response
![Page 27: PowerPoint download](https://reader031.vdocuments.mx/reader031/viewer/2022012922/5576b57fd8b42ad0448b4cec/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
