Among the calls that make you want to smash your phone against a wall, training proposals financed by the CPF,
the personal training account, largely arrive on the podium. So that this canvassing, which insupporteplusiuers millions of French people, stops, the deputies examine, this Thursday in the National Assembly, a bill which aims to prohibit canvassing at the CPF. This text is unanimous among parliamentarians.
“It was time”
The rapporteur of the text, MoDem MP Bruno Fuchs, estimated on franceinfo
this Thursday that “it was time” to ban this type of canvassing,_ because “the number of SMS or solicitations, by phone calls, emails, but also on social networks has continued to increase”, he complains.
The law aims to prohibit this type of canvassing, but also “data capture” users, said the deputy for Haut-Rhin.
Better certify training to reduce fraud
The law also aims to “reinforce the quality of training”, said Bruno Fuchs. Fraud is indeed numerous in the sector,
and many organizations are in fact empty shells that only aim to capture the capital placed on the personal training accounts of employees. “We are going to better filter the level of training at the entrance, with a level of quality certification”, says the deputy.
According to Tracfin, the organization for the fight against clandestine financial circuits which depends on the Ministry of the Economy, in 2021, 43 million euros were captured by these solicitations at the CPF.
“The scammers will continue to scam”
But Bruno Fuchs recognizes that the law will not solve everything: “It’s not going to dry up immediately, because the scammers will keep scamming,” he recalls. The deputy said he hoped that the law will be quickly voted by the Assembly but also by the Senate, for application in early 2023.
