My 1st question is: How do I know my Discover Card statement online? Many thanks for any answer. Second question.. Text of the commission report:. |
|

|
Hmm... I need to find out myself. I don't know what is the answer to that question. I'll do some Googling and get back to you if I find an good answer. You should email the people at Discover Card as they probably could give you help..

I personally believe the number of complaints is not nearly enough what it should be. We see more complaints on this forum than the FTC receives per year. That aint right....
|
|
WOW!!!.
Almost 20% of all complaints to the FTC were about FDCPA violations.... Let's bump that to 50% next year gang..... Even if it's a small, one paragraph complaint....every time a CA does something wrong, file a complaint..... Become a thorn in their side.. |
|
Oh nice! Maybe once my suit starts showing up I'll get on that list..
Although I dunno...I could use extra money from their violations.. |
|
I think I already am. Very few CAs seem to mess with me very much anymore...
|
|
People need to start directing those complaints to the federal courts instead of to the FTC...
|
|
If I had the money, I would have considered that along the way.
The FTC is required to give a report to congress every year regarding collection activity. While complaining to the FTC usually does not help one's immediate problem nor punish the offending CA/JDB immediately, there is a cumulative effect... |

For me, the linked 'Workshop' report is much more interesting: "Collecting Consumer Debts: The Challenge of Change".
Http://www.ftc.gov/b...ection/dcwr.pdf. In a nutshell, the 120-page report summarizes much of the gazillions of discussions that go on here at CB.. The whole "What is proper validation?" question is addressed head-on. I got insight into the issue from the CA/JDB side, to which I had never given much thought:. IF. They want to 'play fair', it's a challenge for them.. Being the cynical type, I view this doc as a handy-dandy blueprint for the banking lobbyists. We know they're especially active at the moment.. |

Article regarding "the teeth" of the matter..
