District of Columbia Consumer Protection

District of Columbia (D.C.) does not have a state-level Consumer Protection Agency as it is not a state, but a federal district. Consumer protection matters in D.C. are overseen by various federal agencies and laws. Here are some relevant resources:

• Federal Trade Commission (FTC) – Washington D.C. Regional Office:

For laws protecting consumers against robocalls, telemarketers, and debt collection calls, some federal laws apply nationwide:

• Telephone Consumer Protection Act (TCPA): Regulates telemarketing calls, autodialed calls, prerecorded calls, and unsolicited faxes. Consumers can file complaints with the FCC or bring private lawsuits for violations.
• Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA): Prohibits abusive, deceptive, and unfair debt collection practices by debt collectors. Violations can be reported to the CFPB or FTC.
