Federal trade Commission's Telemarketing Sales Rule
On January 29, 2003, The Federal trade Commission published the final amended Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR) in the Federal Register. This rule became effective on March 31, 2003 and has important implications for users of predictive dialers, telemarketing software, and telemarketing/call center operations. TOMS is ready to help you meet these new regulations today.
What is the Telemarketing Sales Rule (TSR)?
The original TSR was the outgrowth of the Telemarketing and Consumer Fraud and Abuse Prevention Act of 1994 that went into effect on December 31, 1995. The law required the rule to be reviewed after 5 years. While that law was being reviewed, the USA Patriot Act of 2001 was passed. This has had a significant impact on the call center operations and regulations. The parts of the amended TSR that impact users of predictive dialers, telemarketing software and call center services are: Call Abandonment - A "safe harbor" standard has been set stating that no one will be charged under this regulation if they can document that three conditions are met.
