John,
Have you ever bought airline tickets, concert tickets, or made a hotel booking and noticed undisclosed fees tacked on to your bill? When paying utility bills or rent, have surprise fees ever popped up on your receipt? These are junk fees. Through junk fees, greedy corporations are fleecing consumers of millions of dollars.
The Federal Trade Commission has proposed a rule that would control these fees. Their official comment period is open right now, and they need to hear from us. Send an official comment now to make your voice heard.
The FTC’s new rule would ban businesses from jacking up bills with hidden fees, ensuring consumers know exactly how much they’re paying. Businesses would have to include all mandatory fees up front, making it easier for consumers to compare options to shop for the lowest price.
The implementation of this rule would benefit consumers and keep businesses honest, requiring the full cost of products to be reported up front.
It’s time for junk fees to be banned and businesses to be transparent with customers. Join us now and send a message to the FTC that we support their proposed rule.
Thank you,
Democratic Values
