The FTC has extended by 30 days the deadline for submitting comments on its proposed “Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees” targeting what the FTC refers to as “junk fees.”  The new comment deadline is February 7, 2024. 

In October 2023, we released an episode of our Consumer Finance Monitor Podcast about the FTC’s proposal for which our special guest was Stacy Cammarano, Staff Attorney in the FTC’s Bureau of Consumer Protection, Division of Advertising Practices, and a lead attorney on the proposal.  To listen to the episode, click here.

We have also released two, two-part podcast episodes on the Biden Administration’s “junk fees” initiative that repurposed webinars we previously held on the initiative.
