The CFPB today released research showing that 15 million Americans still have medical bills on their credit reports despite changes by Equifax, Experian, and TransUnion. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
Consumers in the United States send tens of billions of dollars in international remittances every year. The @CFPB is warning remittance transfer providers that false advertising about the cost or speed of a remittance transfer can violate federal law. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…

When buying a home or refinancing, the fees tacked on at closing can give consumers an unwelcome shock, adding to already-high housing prices. The CFPB is taking a close look at these fees, and we want to hear from you.

Mortgage fees and other costs have risen significantly in recent years. As part of our work to combat junk fees, today, the @CFPB and @FTC filed an amicus brief to help make it clear that debt collector mortgage servicers can’t tack on unlawful fees. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/blog/…
Joelle was one of the most consequential staffers in the Biden White House. She led with her vision of reshaping US Economic policy and did it with grace, kindness, and intelligence. I loved working with her and I’m grateful she led so many issues over the last 3 years!

The @CFPB published an issue spotlight today on the CFPB’s oversight of student loan servicing practices in the early months of the resumption of federal student loan repayments. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
No end-of-year senioritis here. The @CFPB today fined @usbank $21M, including $5.7M in consumer redress, for keeping out-of-work consumers from accessing unemployment benefits at the height of the COVID-19 pandemic consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
Totally agree. I’m very excited about this. Congratulations, Jon!

When I took office, the Public Service Loan Forgiveness program had been in place for nearly 15 years, but because of red tape, only 7,000 borrowers had been helped. Thanks to our reforms, 715,000 borrowers have now had their debts forgiven.
For years, medical debt has harmed people’s credit scores. Today, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau is announcing plans to remove medical debt from Americans' credit reports and allow millions of people to invest in their futures.
The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau uncovered shady tuition-payment plans pushed by colleges. Some even force students to waive their right to bring a class action lawsuit. The @CFPB has students' backs. We need to shield it from special interests trying to undermine it.

Today, the @CFPB is launching a rulemaking to address business practices used by data brokers in the surveillance industry to power artificial intelligence and monetize our data. consumerfinance.gov/about-us/newsr…
804,000 borrowers who played by the rules while their loan servicers broke them will finally get what they were promised under the law. It’s amazing what can happen when you have a President who stands up for regular people.
