Federal Trade Commission (FTC) Proposes Rule to Ban Junk Fees, Bait-and-Switch Tactics Plaguing Car Buyers

Excerpt:  “The Federal Trade Commission has proposed a rule to ban junk fees and bait-and-switch advertising tactics that can plague consumers throughout the car-buying experience. As auto prices surge, the Commission is seeking to eliminate the tricks and traps that make it hard or impossible to comparison shop or leave consumers saddled with thousands of dollars in unwanted junk charges. The proposed rule would protect consumers and honest dealers by making the car-buying process more clear and competitive.”
