National Clearance Bureau v. Federal Trade Commission
National Clearance Bureau v. Federal Trade Commission
Opinion of the Court
We have carefully considered the objections raised by the petitioners to the order of the Federal Trade Commission requiring them to cease and desist from certain practices in interstate commerce which the Commission found to be unfair and deceptive in violation of the Federal Trade Commission Act, 15 U.S.C.A. § 41 et seq. The proscribed practices involved the sale and use of certain “skip tracing” forms, cards, and envelopes, designed to obtain information about delinquent debtors, which the Commission found represented falsely that the requests for information were from an agency of the United States Government which would forward a check for a sum of money upon being furnished the information.
The order of the Federal Trade Commission will be affirmed and a decree enforcing it will be entered.
