A Florida debt consolidation firm withdrew a petition asking the Federal Communications Commission to pre-empt Florida's no-call law, according to an FCC document released yesterday.
Express Consolidation Inc., Delray Beach, FL, settled a no-call complaint filed against it by the state, making the petition unnecessary, the FCC said. Had the petition proceeded, the case would have been a test of the FCC's position that state laws regarding interstate telemarketing calls 'almost certainly' are pre-empted if they differ with federal law.
