CUNA Meets with FCC Chairman's Staff

The Credit Union National Association (CUNA) announced today that they met this week with the staff of FCC chairman Ajit Pai. During the meeting CUNA expressed concerns about how recent changes to the interpretation of the TCPA, such as the July 2015 ruling on autodialers, are making it difficult for credit unions all around the country to communicate with their members. They also expressed concern that these new rulings have opened up the doors for frivolous class action lawsuits against credit unions. CUNA has highlighted the following problems: 1) The overly broad definition of what is considered an autodialer, 2) Unclear guidance about how a consumer can revoke consent, 3) Unclear guidance about calling reassigned numbers, and 4) Problems with requiring free-to-end user calls.
