The Consumer Federation of America (CFA) submitted the following comment thanking the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) for renewing its trade regulation rulemaking concerning the Click to Cancel Rule.

CFA petitioned the FTC in November to restart this rulemaking, and is heartened to see the progress that has been made so quickly on this important issue.

Consumers are being harmed every day by predatory subscription practices that impose billions of dollars in unauthorized charges, create needless frustration, and erode trust in the marketplace. This current effort corrects for the concerns of the Court, and should result in a final rule as quickly as the law allows.
