CFPB Becomes More Vigilant about Abusive Practices as it Strengthens Consumer Protections

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has signaled that it will be more aggressive in policing abusive acts or practices as part of a broader shift in priorities under the direction of the Biden administration. Under the leadership of acting director Dave Uejio, who assumed the position after Biden took office in January, the CFPB recently rescinded a year-old policy that it had implemented during the Trump administration.
