Whereas telephone companies are required to permit third parties to bill for services on a consumer’s monthly telephone bill in certain circumstances;Whereas “cramming” is the act of placing unauthorized charges on a wireline, wireless, or bundled services telephone bill of a consumer;Whereas the Federal Communications Commission estimates that cramming has harmed tens of millions of people in the United States; andWhereas existing protections against cramming have not prevented harm to consumers: Now, therefore, be itThat it is the sense of the House of Representatives that protections against cramming should be improved and consumers should be empowered to stop unwanted third-party charges on their telephone bills.
