Momentum Factor, an Austin-based technology firm, has purchased $1.8 million worth of medical debt currently in collections via a national charitable debt relief organization, RIP Medical Debt. Over the next few weeks, hundreds of Austin-area families will receive notices in the mail that their debt has been abolished.

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) today announced it has sent 10 letters warning multi-level marketing companies (MLMs) to remove and address claims that they or their participants are making about their products’ ability to treat or prevent coronavirus disease or about the earnings people who have recently lost income can make, or both.

In the past weeks we’ve all been flooded with emails and scary news, much of it causing angst and confusion. Yes, this is pretty awful. But we will get through it. We will be temporarily banged up, but we will definitely get through it, together.

Momentum Factor teamed with Casita Linda in order to fund the construction of two new homes to sustain needy families throughout the pandemic in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico.

A federal court granted the Federal Trade Commission’s (FTC) request to temporarily shut down an alleged pyramid scheme known as “Success By Health,” and to freeze the assets of the company and its executives.

It's fall and you know what that means — it's time to get the team ready for Salt Lake City in January! The 2020 Direct Selling Legal & Compliance Summit (DSLC) is coming fast!

The Direct Selling Legal & Compliance Summit (DSLC) is BACK and this year we'll be hosting this extraordinary conference in Salt Lake City! Save the date - January 19-21, 2020.

Inc. Magazine has recognized Momentum Factor, a leading global provider of online risk mitigation applications and services, amongst the fastest growing companies in the U.S. on its annual Inc. 5000 rankings for the third year in a row.

The bottom line for direct sellers is that if the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) loses its 13(b) authority, it loses its punch. Legitimate direct selling companies do not fear squaring off against the FTC so long as they are not blind-sided.
