Credit Unions Press for TCPA Changes, in Meeting Pai

President Dan Berger and others from National Association of Federally-Insured Credit Unions met Chairman Ajit Pai about the future of FCC rules implementing the Telephone Consumer Protection Act. “Credit unions are still struggling to establish communication with their members for fear of violating the TCPA,” NAFCU said in a docket 18-152 filing. The discussion included the definition of "capacity" as it applies to autodialers and of called party "as it applies to reassigned numbers and the Commission's efforts to establish a reassigned numbers database,” the group said. “NAFCU reiterated its previous request for an expanded data security and fraud exception for credit unions trying to contact their members following a data breach.” The Consumer and Governmental Affairs Bureau is asking for comment on interpretation and implementation of the TCPA in light of a court decision reversing some rules (see 1805150014).
