File online comments about FTC’s proposal to ban junk fees

Junk fees – those hidden and bogus charges that have found their way into a wide variety of transactions – are on consumers’ minds. Based on what they’ve told us, junk fees are on their last nerve, too. After receiving more than 12,000 comments about how those fees impact consumer spending and affect honest businesses, the FTC announced on October 11, 2023 , a proposed Rule on Unfair or Deceptive Fees . As we mentioned then, we’re asking for further feedback – this time about the specifics of how the FTC proposes to address the issue of junk fees.

The online link to file public comments has gone live and we welcome the perspectives of consumers, researchers, business people, and anyone else who wants their voice heard about junk fees. It’s a simple process. Consider the questions the FTC is asking, read the proposed rule , click the COMMENT  button, and let us know what’s on your mind. Of course, we invite formal responses with footnotes, citations, and the like – but we particularly welcome your practical, real-world insights about the FTC’s proposal.
