If you hear Democrats talking about "junk fees," they are talking about
all of the above. And you don’t have to choose -- together, we can fight
all of them.

fees. Click here to fight back -- and tell us which junk fees you have
been personally impacted by.
Two of our top allies have already begun taking on junk fees -- Lina Khan,
who chairs the FTC, and Rohit Chopra, who chairs Elizabeth Warren’s
Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
But more can be done by Congress. President Biden put junk fees in the
headlines when he called for national legislation in this year’s State of
the Union, saying:
I know how unfair it feels when a company overcharges you and gets away
with it…
We’ll ban surprise “resort fees” that hotels tack on to your bill. These
fees can cost you up to $90 a night at hotels that aren’t even resorts.
We’ll make cable internet and cell phone companies stop charging you up to
$200 or more when you decide to switch to another provider.
We’ll cap service fees on tickets to concerts and sporting events and make
companies disclose all fees upfront.
And we’ll prohibit airlines from charging up to $50 round trip for
families just to sit together. Baggage fees are bad enough – they can’t
just treat your child like a piece of luggage.
Americans are tired of being played for suckers. Pass the Junk Fee
Prevention Act so companies stop ripping us off.
