The FTC, also known as the Consumer Protection Agency, has just sent you notification that your site is in non compliance. They list the compliant and issues on your site. Do you know what to do?

  • Do you ignore the communication from the FTC?
  • Do you immediately call your attorney?
  • Do you immediately shut down all activity on your website?

The answers to all these questions are NO.

These are the things you need to do:

  1. Find out what is causing your site trouble from the FTC.
  2. Take immediate action on these items. In some cases you may need to go as far as freezing your business until you get your site back into compliance.
  3. Test your changes against the issues and complaints.
  4. Be prepared to show proof that your changes work.
  5. Restart your business and be prepared for the next visit from the FTC.

In most circumstances you will only have little time to make your changes before the FTC comes back to recheck your site. If changes have not been made, be prepared to have your site shutdown. Extreme situations will have your accounts frozen and possible fines implemented.

In extreme situations, it is important to find representation from an attorney that can provide the right kind of defense for your situation. I have only heard of one case where a internet marketer had so many complaints that his site was shutdown, bank accounts frozen and heavy fines over $100,000. These are extreme cases, but it is impossible to know what the FTC will do, so it is always best to stay vigilant.
